On Identifying as an Underdog

Ever since I was a young boy I’ve been the scrapper, the tough kid, the underdog. I was tenacious as a pit bull and everyone knew it. When I started playing hockey at 10 years old, I was the smallest kid out there. And that never really changed. By the time I turned 17 I […]

On Procrastination and Note Taking

Below is an incomplete thought. This morning I had a great idea for a blog post. Something really simple and impactful. The idea stemmed from some article I was reading on some wiki page somewhere on the internet. I then had a fire to put out at my agency, Boxer. Something that needed to be […]

The Deep Work of Limiting Beliefs

Today was a rough day. Not a bad day (there’s no such thing 🌴), but a mentally and emotionally tough one. It started with some small fires that needed to be put out. Nothing too bad. At 9:30 I had a call with my biz/life coach, Doug Holt. I started working with Doug about 10 […]

No Anonymity Protection for .US Domains

Last week I made the mistake of purchasing a “.us” domain for one of my businesses without doing the proper research. Because you must be a US resident to purchase a .us domain, they don’t allow any kind of whois protection which means that my company information is on record and searchable in whois databases, […]

2019 Brings Strange Tidings

On the 28th of December, I flew to Atlanta to help my future sister-in-law move across the country. She, having found a job in New Mexico after graduating with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, needed to make the move from Pittsburg to Albuquerque. We all decided that a road trip through the South would make […]
