The Hardest Deadline of My Life

The Power of Deadlines In January of 2017 I gave myself a 1 year deadline to find a new career path, with the ultimatum that I would quit my CrossFit coaching job by end of the year no matter what.I remember thinking 6 months after getting this job that I knew I didnā€™t want to do this long term. 5 Years later I was still there - hence the line in the sand. I knew I had to s*** or get off the pot if I didnā€™t want my life to pass me by. I spend the next year being mentored to go into Orthopedic...

šŸ‘‹ First time reading? Click Here to subscribe Urgency Crushes Authenticity Iā€™ve learned the hard way that anytime I feel like something is an emergency, I need to slow down. In fact Iā€™ve made a rule with myself - whenever I feel the overwhelming pressure build up to get things done immediately, I shut the project down ASAP.This happens most often with Instagram. I wake up, have my coffee, get some sunshine, open my phone and then bam- the alarm bells go off. That little voice screams : ā€œif...

WHY NICE GUYS FINISH LAST I had a call with a client last week who was facing the dilemma of wanting to Lead with confidence, while keeping deep relationships with his employees.Specifically, do what he knew was right, even if it would rock the boat with employees. He feared that if he didnā€™t listen to the opinions of his employees it would hurt the relationship. This is classic Nice Guy shit - so afraid to rock the boat or upset others that you walk on eggshells and abandon your own...

It's Friday Jan 24th and Iā€™m currently in beautiful Crested Butte Colorado on a snowboard trip, but I canā€™t snowboard. Two weeks ago I fractured my patella while trail running.(The macho man in me needs you to know that I ran 4 miles back after the incident occurred šŸ˜…).The short version is while on a technical section my toe got caught on a rock and I fell ā€œknee firstā€ into a big boulder. Direct impact created quite the pain as I smashed into the rock.I was a little nervous since thereā€™s no...

The Mastermind for ChangeMakers Over the past 15 years Iā€™ve had a lot of different jobs and worked with a variety of people. And Iā€™ve found a common thread with the ones doing deep workā€¦āœ… They want to do something they love. āœ… Make good money āœ… Create a lasting impact in the world āœ…Have deep fulfilling relationships. This truth spans from professional athlete, to stay at home mom and the executive in the boardroom. Some of these goals are subjective - ā€œgood moneyā€ is relative, but most donā€™t...

What a $7,000 mistake taught me about making decisions In 2022 I was in a complete flow with who I was and my purpose. I had just left my head coach position at a CrossFit gym to take the final leap into Life and Leadership Coaching full time. What was once a dream, became a reality. 10 decades as a strength coach and I was ready to impact lives in a different way, all while working for myself. As I transitioned jobs I was also prepping that summer to travel in the UK and Europe indefinitely....

Donā€™t let your potential prevent your purpose In 2018 I was working as a Strength & Conditioning coach at Clemson University with Olympic Sports - basically every team except for football and basketball. Prior to that I was at Colorado State University working with their football team. I had been on a quest to carve a career path in this field. Towards the end of my time at Clemson I was offered jobs at Texas A&M and Maryland and I decided not to take either one. This was one of the hardest...

The Best Relationship Advice I've Ever Heard The one thing Iā€™ve concluded about relationships is that nobody has them figured out. Oddly that is both comforting and confronting šŸ˜¬. Even some of the top relationship therapists with best selling books have admitted to considering divorce in their own marriage. This is one of many reasons I continue to study and be fascinated with authentic ways of relating, creating intimacy and healing. But of all the advice Iā€™ve heard, one single statement...

How I've helped men quit Alcohol, Nicotine & Anxiety Medication It's no secret that we all struggle with addiction. Many of us are aware, but struggle to kick these unhealthy habits. Which is why I was stoked after 3 men in my men's group shared they quit alcohol, nicotine and anxiety medication after a few weeks of doing one simple thing. A tool that has become a staple with all of my clients. Before I share, let's dive into addiction and why they get such a nasty grip on us in the first...
