Lately, lots of folks I know have started eating Paleo. Essentially, that means eating real food such as vegetables, meat (preferably grass fed), healthy fats, and some fruit and nuts. It eliminates all grains, processed foods, and most sugar and dairy. One of...

For many years, I operated under the illusion that I could make good decisions on the fly and was simultaneously frustrated that I wasn’t getting the results I was looking for. I never realized the two were connected. Cue the virtual 2×4 across my...

Last November, I stumbled upon an interesting analogy for life strategy – bumper bowling. I know what you’re thinking. It seems completely random and sort of ridiculous. Think about it this way . . . When you get to the bowling alley, you can bowl...

Today, I woke up. Thirty minutes before my alarm would have gone off at 5:20, I sat straight up in bed. I had instant clarity. I’ve been living scared, and it’s cost me. Some of you may be surprised at that statement. I can fake it pretty well....

Earlier this year, I decided to read books differently. Instead of just plowing through them, I would pause and recap what I learned from each and how I could apply the lessons to my own life. Simply put, that’s tougher than it sounds. I thought I could...
