Continued from Iron Man Part 1 The idea of him or his kids specifically was too soon, but something had definitely gotten my attention in terms of being able to process my extremely inflexible red-light list; it had come up before in previous encounters, and I knew if I didn’t try to unravel it head […]

  I learned the first year of the seminar not to try to navigate around holidays, so the schedule ends in November, and we kick off again after the Open in March. This gap created unintended but welcomed downtime.   During these months, I spent a lot of time working on our schedule and website. And […]

This is a continuance of this post – read this one first. —————– Jaime had no idea how to build a basket weaving class. She could cover many different styles and topics – where to start? She started gathering fellow basket weavers and other Instructors; before she knew it, hundreds of people gave feedback, filled […]

Day 1538. 223 lbs. lost. Read the previous post here. First, it was the commercial by the “Reel Hope Project.” Next, it was a flyer in my mailbox. Then I started seeing pop-ups and advertisements when I was surfing around on the web. I don’t have two-way conversations with God, but I feel better at […]

November Scaled Nation CrossFit had been operational for about six weeks. I had plans for a big bang open, but those anticipated lockdowns and restrictions that I foresaw in the summer came just like I thought they would.

August August 7th was one of the best days of my life. The paperback had just been released after weeks and weeks of learning the ropes on Amazon and publishing platforms. I learned a lot and will definitely be making some pivots for book number two. But as they say – you don’t know what […]

June It wouldn’t be 2020 if everything was entirely on schedule {{laughing}}. My initial book launch date came and went, but I continued to plug along and finally landed on July 7th. I finally just started saying, “Hey, it’s 2020,” anytime something didn’t go according to plan. Nothing during the year had really gone according […]

April Ten days into April and what I thought would be a two week stay at home order continued. I will admit I started getting restless by the day. If I wasn’t racing around trying to make sure I could keep cleaning supplies and toilet paper in my house, I was trying to find ways […]

I would typically write about my yearly rundown in terms of breaking it down by topic, but this year I think I will speak in terms of “months.” {{laughing}} too many issues to cover this year, I’m afraid. January I entered 2020 already a little exhausted and tired. I didn’t attend a single holiday or […]

Day 1302. 225 lbs lost. I get excited every time I turn on the radio, and I hear a song that screams to my soul.  I will play it over and over until it wears itself out, and by that time, I would find a new one. Last Christmas, I was listening to my favorite […]
