I recently purchased a new pair of sunglasses. I bought them for the usual reasons we buy sunglasses- I needed a new pair and liked how they fit my face. The best part about these glasses wasn’t discovered until the first time I wore them while walking outside. The particular tint of the lenses made…

Highway of Life
Societal expectations of what life should look like is a stronghold many fail to break away from. I remember speaking with my father during a trying time in my life when he mentioned what I had failed to notice, which was my nearly flawless “societal highway drive.” He explained my life from his vantage point,…
Matches or Bonfire?
I was recently playing in a golf tournament in my home state of Arizona. I occasionally partake in a cigar when golfing. A friend of mine in my golf league offered me one during our round, so I kindly obliged. Shortly after initially lighting our cigars we realized his lighter was out of fluid. Keeping…
Galatians 1:10
I often enjoy retelling situations from my life that prove valuable as I continue along this growth path (my fancy way of admitting I’m getting older). Perhaps, one of the most enriching lessons I’ve received was via a conversation with a friend of mine. We’ll simply call this friend by his first name for now-…
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU “REGROW UP?”
Today is June 1st, one month of hitting my knees and saying my personal surrender prayer to God. I’m doing my best to surrender EVERYTHING to HIM each day, how freeing! Something struck me hard today- what if money had no relevance on what we decided to do with our career, our lives, or our…

Surrender Project Update
Three weeks into this journey and I’m still excited about the future. I can say as I reflect on the past few weeks one word stands out- resonate. I think the intentional focus around the project and attempting to truly surrender all areas of my life (to be best of my human ability) is helping…
Insecurity Running the Show
I was sitting at Chipotle yesterday, which is admittedly one of my favorite “easy” food options on a busy day. This particular day I was sitting outside within earshot of a few other tables. I can honestly say it didn’t take long for me to wish I had brought my headphones. I often tune into…
Pause and Listen
I have a younger colleague of mine who has found some success in his young sales role. He was a college athlete which taught him a level of GRIT that has propelled him in the sales world. He’d run through a wall if you told him it would help him be “successful.” I’ve known him…
