When I was a kid, summer was always a magical time for me. Whether it was primary school or high school, the onset of summer meant one thing – long, lazy days surrounded by people that made your life better. This could be school friends who also happened to live near you; or friends in […]
Listen, I know how hard it is. To get started. To make it work. To show up every day. To make money doing it. To be a ‘success.’ You haven’t got your shit sorted yet. I know. You need to fix yourself first. You need to love yourself before you can go out and be
I’ll be honest with you. I’m 33 years old and still find life hard. I still feel like a beginner. I still feel mostly clueless. I still get scared and dread things.

As teenagers, we chase the impossible date with the most popular boy or girl. As adults, we chase the dream job that never happens,
(This is a personal post so if that isn’t your thing then you should move on.) 2017 was a lot like 2016, but on steroids. That meant a 40% increase in the business, which unfortunately came with a lot more stress and angst. I did figure some things out and managed to make some decisions that I
Next year, I’ll be 50. What the f…? I remember being a young man in my early 20’s, and thinking 30 was old. My 20’s and 30’s were probably my peak, at least physically. To even consider being 50 was… no, it wasn’t even considered. It just wasn’t an age to understand. Now, a couple
The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it. ~ Sydney J. Harris We live such busy lives.
