When’s the last time you learned something new? A weird aspect of adult life is people are obsessed with learning for the first 20 years of their life, but care less about what specifically they’re learning. Then, a large majority assume that they’ve learned everything they ever can learn and are the same person for the next 50 years until they take a dirt nap. I wrote last week about pulling the trigger and crossing kitesurfing off my impossible list. ...

Read until the end to read about how you can win $100 to do something on your impossible list. I’ve been talking about kite surfing for a long time. I think the first time I went was like 10 years ago in Aruba. I was terrible, but I loved it. I started saying “this is my next favorite sport” But, you know the drill. I got busy. I had other things to do, races and businesses to run. It became a story I told myself I wanted to do someday, ...

Apologies if this is off-topic, but becoming part of an international Antarctic conspiracy has officially made my impossible list. Sorry not sorry.

Refilling the F*ck You Meter
"I think he’s full of shit" I’ll never forget those words. I was sitting in a conference room in an office park in the suburbs of Milwaukee. I left a great job for a new one. I was heavily recruited with a big pay raise. I was promised one role, but thrust into a new one after a company shakeup and VP out on maternity leave. I dove into it, tripling client relationships and managing 60% of our company’s revenue. I was crushing it. When ...
The Longest Night Race 2020 Recap
Damn that was long. I'm not talking about 2020. The Longest Night is in the books and it's taken me a minute to write about it - because it was tough. I've basically been eating carbs and icing my legs the last week to recover from it, but it's in the bag - done! The Longest Day race was hard - but almost one dimensionally hard - it was just hot. Texas summer hot. The longest night comes with it's own challenges. Safety, ...
