Shed Your Skin (Enter 2026 Right)
I’m writing this more as a reminder to myself. If it helps someone else, even better. I’m not a guru. I’m not a motivational speaker. I’m definitely not Tony Robbins. This is just a no-bullshit note to break bad patterns and level up in 2026. Let’s not roll into a new year carrying the same […]
My Favorite Christmas Movies (2025 Edition)
Tis the season. If you’re looking for something to watch this holiday season, here’s a list of my favorite Christmas movies. 1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation This is the baseline. If this movie isn’t on at least once in December, something’s off. Every scene is a quote. Every character is unhinged. It’s chaos, family, and […]
My 2025 Reading List: Business, Bikes, and Better Questions
I didn’t set out to build a “reading challenge” this year. No quotas. No performative book stacks. Just books that showed up at the right time and stuck long enough to leave a mark. What came out of 2025 was a mix of business fundamentals, personal operating systems, creative rebellion, and a steady undercurrent of […]
Wilt or Blossom
I was reading poetry last week when I stumbled across this idea: Wilt or Blossom. It stuck with me. Think of your soul like a flower. Flowers need to be fed to grow – sunlight, water, good soil. Without those things, there’s no chance of survival. And flowers rarely get perfect conditions. The weather gets […]
The Damn Raiders
It’s a perfect night in Las Vegas. Warm breeze, clear sky. Monday Night Football. Raiders vs. Chargers. First home game of the season for the silver and black. And yes, I had tickets. Friends and family in tow, ready to cheer for the underdogs. Chargers might be stacked, but this year? Our year. New coach. […]
Today’s Ride
There’s nothing like riding your motorcycle at 65mph on a two lane highway through the barren desert, not another car in sight, when the weather is 77 degrees. It’s the kind of ride that makes you forget the rest of the world exists and you’re just in the moment. In the now.
The Prison Workout
I needed to shake up the routine. Keep the body guessing. So for the last few weeks, I’ve been running my own version of a prison workout – simple, brutal, and effective. The Prison Workout (4–5 days a week): No fancy gym. No expensive gear. Just sweat, repetition, and the nagging voice in your head […]
The Purpose of Life
I know, I know… this isn’t the kind of movie most people romanticize. But I keep coming back to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Ben Stiller. There’s a line that repeats through the film: “To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to […]
4th of July Run
It was hot as hell, but 4th of July was a great day to ride through Red Rock Canyon. After my dad died, I took his bike and got it fixed up. He was born on the 4th. Would’ve been 78 years old. Seemed like a great way to celebrate him by taking his bike […]
