What I'm Up To, Vol. 100

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...

What I'm Up To Volume 95 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 94… 1. May HappeningsI need a quick favor. Over the past two months, we’ve noticed very few replies to this newsletter compared to the past. It could be a blip or maybe we have a technical problem. Please hit reply when you’re done and let me know you’re still there. 👋We kicked off May with a visit from my college buddy, AJ. His daughter is at Southwestern University, and he drove down to collect her for summer break....

What I'm Up To Volume 93 Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 92. 1. March HappeningsAfter a stressful, bustling February with Family Reunion and the asset sale, March was about counter-balancing. I tapped the brakes, traveled, and enjoyed adventures with family.We left for Portugal 🇵🇹 on March 1st. 🛫 ATX > JFK > Lisbon. Our friend Joao picked us up, dropped our bags at the Tivoli Hotel, and then showed us around. We enjoyed an amazing lunch at Cascais at Mar do Inferno by the “Rocha do...
