What I'm Up To Volume 107 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 106……1. May HappeningsJet lag hit hard after returning from Japan. I was in a daze for a good five days. Thankfully, my team did a great job while I was gone. Reentry was about as smooth as it could be after such an epic trip. I know the saying is “April showers bring May flowers.” This year, May just had more showers. That’s kept temps bearable and everything green. My Midwestern wife would be so proud of me going...

What I'm Up To Volume 105 Hey friends,Here’s what I’ve been up to since Vol. 104…1. March HappeningsDodged a bullet to start the month. My neighbor, Kelby, called to say he was driving onto my ranch. “There is smoke everywhere!” We’ve been in a drought for a long time, so all 300 acres are basically kindling. Thankfully, the wildfire was on the property south of ours. But the wind was blowing it our way. Kelby stayed all night. He let volunteer firefighters in to use our ranch as an access...

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.

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...
