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.

Texas summer hot. The longest night comes with it's own challenges. Safety, ...

Fear Based Prioritization
There are endless prioritization guides out there. Everyone wants to know how to prioritize their work, get more done and be more “productive ™”. But, this doesn’t usually lead to much change. They end up getting faster at putting together widgets or triaging minutia, but they look up and wonder why they never seem to get anything really done. That’s the first key to prioritization: You don’t need to do everything. You need to do the things that ...
The 3 Things I Did To Make My Workouts More Consistent
Since gyms have started to re-open here in Texas, I’ve been insanely consistent with my workout schedule. I’ve had more consistency at a higher volume than ever before the world decided to shut down. You could chalk part of it up to being deprived of it for 5+ months, but I’ve also shifted 3 main things to help me make my workouts a priority, be more consistent, and see more progress (even during a pandemic). Here’s what I changed: I Put It On ...
