Six Words and Why Lima Beans Suck

I’ve written over 200,000 words in the past six years. Many of which have made their way into books. All of which are rooted in lessons from my life. It’s safe to say I’m reflective. It’s also why this exercise spoke to me.

What are your six words?

Nicknames vs. Mentors

You need to pick your mentor. You can’t pick your nickname.  You can’t pick your nickname!  Nicknames are things that are given to you by your peers and family. You can’t wake up one morning and start calling yourself by a much catchier and cooler name. If we could nickname ourselves, the we’d all walk […]

Peanut Butter and a Gin Martini

We all take our lumps in life. The world has a funny way of balancing out wins and losses and I truly believe that nobody ever goes on an uninterrupted winning streak.  Things come crashing down, the other shoe eventually drops and we are all humbled at some point in our lives.  Lord knows, I […]

Are you the engine, the boxcar or the caboose?

A few weeks ago a friend of mine called and asked for a pep talk. He just wanted to get everything off his chest and complain about how things were going at work. Sometimes these life talks happen over a beer, but when you’re long distance, a phone call works just as good.   In […]

Missed Connections (Knock Knock)

When someone hands you an opportunity to get one step closer to your lifelong dreams, why would you not grab it by both hands and do everything you can to never let go? It’s a question we often ask others, but don’t do a good job of answering it ourselves. About once a month my […]

Band of Brothers

It’s been a minute since I’ve written about dead people. That may be of some relief to a few of my regular blog readers, but others pull some interesting takeaway from these types of chapters.   When we published my first book, Pull the Trigger, I gained an unexpected audience that propelled the book to […]

Where the hell am I?

I have zero sense of direction.   Pretty funny for the guy who's become somewhat famous for posting bad parking jobs.   No really, if someone told me to “get lost” I probably would and do so rather quickly. North, south, east, west...none of that stuff matters to me because I don’t know what direction […]
