Today I am going to share this story with you. It is written by an author and friend in Juneau, Alaska who shares about the 2008 power outage. At the time, I considered Juneau my home, but I was attending law school so I do not remember this event personally. However, I think it is [...]
Ever get fed up with technology and wonder why they're screwing with you and things don't work like they used to? Only to realize that you had accidentally changed the settings? Are reactions may see more about us than the technology.
On Monday's Masters (December 9th), we started a workout series of fly swimming that will go like this: 1 X 3002 X 2753 X 2504 X 2255 X 200 .... You get the idea. I am not sure if we will be taking this all the way to Christmas, which is 17 days away. But [...]
I recently heard someone (Naval Ravikant) hypothesize that the direction our working lives are headed will have nearly all of us working for ourselves at some point in the future.

We can often make decisions to set us up for an opportunity we hope to have, with no guarantee that it will come to fruition. There are many opportunities in the world that were once restricted such thay we had to be chosen (to publish a book or direct a movie). Now we don't have [...]
There is a local swim meet in town tomorrow and some Masters swimmers compete. So, logically, our coach gave us a workout this morning to prep any racers for the meet (note I'm not included!). In my world (long distance triathlon), the day before a race means take it easy. In the week before, I [...]
Your mind is your most valuable asset. Are you satisfied with your level of investment? If you were to 10X your level of investment in education, what would you choose to do?
