Motivation & Mindset

Inside of my head is a gnarly place. It’s incredibly powerful and I recognize and respect it.  In this article, I discuss how my mind works and some driving principles…

I’ve always been a “let it ride” kind of guy. Never afraid to “stack it not rack it” after winning. Those are gambling slang terms, for those who didn’t know.…

I’m not one to make New Years Resolutions. I do evaluate and re-evaluate my goals and ambitions quite often. Perhaps, too often. Nonetheless, I’ve made one declaration for 2018.

I like to think, ponder if you will. Weekends provide space both mentally and physically. Short and thought-provoking over the weekend insights.

I spent much of the weekend staring out into the Pacific Ocean. The vast waters are always amazing to me; they do a great job of really putting things in…

I use to believe that it was people that really mattered. I believed this so much that I was willing to sacrifice whatever was needed, to be of good use…

The “perfect plan” doesn’t exist. Even if it did, would you really want to follow it? For me, it’s the excitement of the possibility of what could be, that gets me…
