Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week This week I was busy AF!!! Last Monday, after a full day on site, I didn’t want to workout because I quite literally was “too busy” I got home later than normal, and instead of cracking open a beer and slouching on the couch, I got moving with my boys instead… After that session I asked myself a question: Why has “being busy" become some sort of bragging right? It should embarrass us...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week Some parents think leadership is a title… It's actually not! You're born a leader whether you "sign up" to be one or not. If someone can observe you... You are leading, Especially if you have kids. How you speak to them. How you handle stressful situations. How you react when they make a mess. How you handle changes in life. How you handle job loss How you take care of your body....

Hello Reader, News of the Week Week 3 in January... The resolutions has gone to dry, It’s not a motivation problem. It’s a tolerance problem. Hold the line: execute, pray, finish. Most parents don’t quit.They stall. Right in the middle. The excitement fades. (That New Years Resolution you made 18 days ago???)The results slow down. (You can't fix years of bad habits in just 21 days!!!)The work stops giving feedback. (The scale doesn't change?!?) That’s where momentum dies. Right in the messy...

But just more deliberately... Move with clarity instead of pressure. Build systems you can sustain (Together we are building a system inside IGNITE). Set standards...

LIVE YOUR VALUES It's not how often you go to church... BEING A GOOD PERSON IS NOT A ONCE A WEEK ACTIVITY It's how you live. It's how you treat people. It's...

Hello Reader, News of the Week HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I smoked my first brisket last week. From 11:45 to 19:45 (8hrs start to finish) Failed it… and fuckin loved it. Here’s what happened: Temp regulation: I ran it too hot. Impatient heat = tough meat. Seasoning: I salted it the night before, it went soggy, then I re-seasoned pre-cook… hello way too salty. Process: Prep → set-up → tend the fire. It forced me to slow down, pay attention, and keep showing up. Was it perfect? Not even close.Was it...
