I was talking to a young buck yesterday that is just out of college and trying to make it in sales. He’s the first real sales person at his company, similar to what I was at Malomo about 4.5 years ago (whoa…) Immediately, he began to tell me about the 1,000 things he’s doing toContinue reading “Big to small”

It’s been a while since I’ve written here. The thing is I haven’t really missed it and I haven’t really noticed. Life currently is different than I think it’s ever been. I’m being challenged in ways (challenging is nothing but good to me btw….), that I’m focused on the here and now. Would writing helpContinue reading “Been a bit…”

In changing, the first obvious step is simply awareness. Awareness that we have a problem, an issue, and addiction.

Being a human is pretty awesome. Most of the time. But there definitely are downsides as opposed to just being a wild animal grazing the land. One thing that makes being a human kinda sucky at times is the fact that when we make a mistake, we don’t just get hurt once and move on.Continue reading “One cut, many cuts”

My biggest trap is thinking that the next promotion, the next bonus, the next goal accomplished is going to solve all my problems. The problem with that is when I look back at my life 5 years ago, everything I said I wanted I basically have. But my mind only jumped instantly to the nextContinue reading “The biggest trap”

Life is a big jumble of gray area. Not as black and white as people believe. It’s less about choosing two options in front of you and more about weighing multiple, sometimes infinite. It’s a game of trade offs. For instance in keeping your physical health, when does one push themselves at their breaking pointContinue reading “Gray Area”
