Monday morning breakdown: I realize that I’m fortunate to actually love Monday’s. I get a chance to do work I enjoy. It’s challenging work, by the end-of-the-day I’m usually mentally exhausted. That said, I love Input. (it’s one of my top five strengths according to some leadership guru – Let’s hope he’s right!) Which means, [...]

So last night Necole and I were fortunate enough to see U2 live for the first time. This was definitely a “bucket list” moment for us. It’s hard to describe the evening, maybe perfect is the literally the best word. The weather was amazing, the show was in Raleigh, we had great seats and both [...]

The past few years Q was held in Atlanta and NYC. When someone attends a conference, usually the content/experience is only half the desire. The best part is getting [...]

I’m currently taking a few moments to decompress from the Q Conference as I listen to OTR’s Drunkard Prayer album. These past three days I’ve spent time with some amazing leaders who have somewhat challenged my thinking and [...]

Oh the things one will do to get the vision off and running. It’s 12:30AM and I’m working at Epoch Coffee with Scotty. We (ok-Scotty) are working on a website/logo for Campaign to End Poverty initiative that HELP is launching. Basically I fill Scotty’s brain with a bunch of complex vision and then I tell [...]

I keep forgetting some basic principles in life. For instance, when I work less I get more done. Why is that so hard to remember? I feel like I have so much to do that I can’t stop working. Sometimes I find myself working in the middle of the night trying to keep everything going [...]
