So What Am I Doing?
I’ve been coaching for 21 years. I’ve owned my gym for 12 years. I’ve mentored other business owners with the team at Two-Brain Business for six years. So why am I writing about Asheville in one breath and then deeper topics, like values vs priorities or sacrificing my family, in the next? It’s pretty clear…

All About Asheville – Part 2, What to Do
Asheville sits in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains with plenty to do. This isn’t an exhaustive list by any means, but these are all things we’ve done with the whole family over the years – with new borns and big kids alike. Fun for the whole family, if you will. First on the…

Values and Priorities
After my recent post, ‘Sacrificing My Family At the Altar of My Business,’ I had folks reach out for a few different reasons, one of which was to ask questions about the values and priorities piece in there. Specifically: Before we get to that, I do want to highlight the importance of establishing your values…

All About Asheville – Part 1, Where to Stay
In 2009, after two trips to Vegas (once for our honeymoon and one more for our anniversary), Mandy and I were looking for somewhere different to go. She wanted to go somewhere tropical, but I didn’t. I wanted to go somewhere with snow, but she didn’t. This is partly how we decided on Vegas for…

Sacrificing My Family at the Altar of My Business
Just the other night, Mandy and I were doing a favorite parenting past-time activity – fondly looking back through photos from when the kids were much younger. Now I don’t claim to have the greatest memory, but a few caught my eye because I didn’t recall anything about a succession of photos from a few…

“Kids these days” – you ever hear or read that phrase? It’s usually followed up with a complaint of something they saw or heard of a kid doing. Kids these days… Look, I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, the list of complaints I should/would have had logged against me were…

Love is Never Wasted
Several weeks ago, I came across this line in a post and it caught my eye: “Wasted love on the wrong people.” It struck me funny in the moment and has stuck with me ever since. Quite simply: I could not disagree more. Love is never wasted. It might not be reciprocated. But love doesn’t…

Falling in Love with Boredom
This is part of the path I walk every day. Nothing fancy or noteworthy, just one foot in front of the other…pretty boring actually. At this point in time, we are all aware that social media is not much more than a highlight reel. Some share the messy parts of life, but the majority is…

Stop Using Exercise as a Form of Punishment or Poor Planning
[This is a letter to myself as a younger and/or more inexperienced coach as much as it is anyone else.] Dear Coaches, Teachers, Educators, and Parents – STOP using exercise as a form of punishment. There are two reasons why this is done, but neither of them are any good. Reason #1 – As a…

Twenty Years
July 22nd, 2002 marked twenty years to the day that I met Mandy. I remember that day like it was yesterday and if you’ve known either of us for any real length of time, we’ve no doubt told you our ‘how we met story’ with high school sized grins on our faces. But if you…
