What I'm Up To Volume 104 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 103…1. February HappeningsI ended January with a broken filling. I started February getting a new crown. You know how bad things happen in threes? Wendy left for Colorado to teach that same day and texted me: “Not to get into a misfortune bragging contest, but I ran over my luggage on the way out today.” 🤣Thankfully, our unlucky streak seems to have ended. We enjoyed a fun night with friends at the annual CASA...

What I'm Up To Volume 103 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 102…1. January HappeningsLast year, I joined my first paid mastermind, Aspen. My friend, Shawn Blanc, invited 18 creators to be founders, and we had our first gathering in Kansas City. We masterminded, shared ideas over barbecue, and huddled around the firepit. I’ve been looking for community, and Aspen surpassed my expectations. Everyone is brilliant, kind, and clever. Color me happy. Meanwhile, Wendy’s Her Best...

What I'm Up To Volume 102 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 101…1. December HappeningsI kicked off the month with a trip to Charleston for Stu and Amy McLaren’s Village Impact Masterminds. I made some new friends, connected with some old ones, and learned a ton. My small mastermind group included Amy Porterfield, Michael Hyatt, Russell Brunson, Stu McLaren, and Brandon Turner. Pinch me! The final evening, we co-hosted a massive webinar raising funds to build schools in...

What I'm Up To Volume 101 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 100…1. November HappeningsA quick reminder: I love it when readers hit reply and let me know what they're up to. Please consider it an open invitation! We had a full November. Kiki is settling into her new home with us. Taco has been a tolerant teacher and occasional playmate. Puppy energy is a lot. Like maybe there is a triple-expresso in her kibble a lot… Wendy hired a trainer to help and found a great doggy day...

What I'm Up To Volume 100 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 99…1. October HappeningsCrazy to see that this newsletter has entered the triple digits. Just think, next September we’ll celebrate the “eleventy-first” edition (with a nod to Bilbo Baggins, of course.) Thanks for reading.I kicked off October by attending MashUp. It’s my third year attending the masterminds, and it’s starting to feel more like a friendly reunion than a business mastermind. And that’s a good thing....

What I'm Up To Volume 99 Hey friends,Life's been life-ing and this volume is late. Hope you don't mind. Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 98…1. September HappeningsLast month, someone went into cardiac arrest at our event, and I pulled a woman from a burning car. This month? I launched my first solo book, Rookie Real Estate Agent, poorly managed an active shooter situation in my neighborhood, and lost three consecutive battles to a skunk. Life has not been boring. 🎢For a small book, our...

What I'm Up To Volume 98 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 97…1. August HappeningsThe Austin Convention Center is under construction, so we hosted our mid-year convention, MegaCamp, in San Antonio this year. It was a nice change of pace! 🏙️ Highlights for me included recording podcasts with Liz Bohannon and Sahil Bloom and launching my new book, Rookie Real Estate Agent. We've sold over 7,000 copies since the launch! I'm psyched! 🎉📚 On the final day of the event, I was...

What I'm Up To Volume 97 Hey friends, Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 96… 1. July HappeningsI missed it! Last month marked 8 years of writing "What I'm Up To." Few endeavors in my life have seen such commitment over time. Our morning workouts, weekly date nights, monthly reading & networth goals, annual goal-setting retreats... Time on the task over time yields extraordinary benefits. Consistency, in its own way, is intensity. 📈So why this newsletter? I started it to maintain...

What I'm Up To Volume 96 Hey friends, Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 95… 1. June HappeningsWe kicked off the month celebrating Gus's 21st birthday! Wendy made the traditional birthday pancakes and assembled an impressive donut cake. We took him to lunch near my office, then later conquered an escape room where we heroically saved the wizard's dragon. 🧙♂️ Finished with Maudie's TexMex because nothing says “you're officially an adult” like queso. The best part? Gus basically spent his...
