This week, I’ve been chewing on a distinction that’s been a game-changer for me: identity versus role. They sound similar, but they’re worlds apart—and understanding the difference might just shift how you see yourself. Your identity? That’s the core of who you are. It’s the you that doesn’t budge—the values, the quirks, the essence that makes you, well, you. It’s not tied to what you accomplish or how others see you. It’s a solid 10, always, no matter what’s going on. Your roles, though?...

This week, I’ve been thinking about what it really means to follow your dreams. It’s not all glamorous montages and cheering crowds—sometimes it’s just you, a stubborn idea, and a whole lot of people scratching their heads, wondering why you’re bothering. But here’s the thing: your dreams don’t need anyone else’s permission to matter. There’s something raw and real about going after what lights you up, especially when the path isn’t obvious to everyone else. Maybe you’ve got a vision—a book...

This week, I’ve been thinking about something that never gets old: the sheer power of writing. There’s nothing quite like it for taking the chaos of your mind—those half-baked thoughts, big dreams, and hard-earned lessons—and shaping them into something clear, concrete, and shareable. And when it comes to sharing ideas? Books are in a league of their own. Writing isn’t just about self-expression (though that’s a nice perk). It’s a superpower for distilling what you know and passing it on....

This week, I’ve been reflecting on something pretty incredible: the power of writing a book. There’s something almost magical about taking the ideas swirling around in your head, pinning them down on paper, and turning them into something tangible you can share with the world. It’s not just about the end result—it’s about the process, the clarity it brings, and the chance to inspire others with your strategy. Why does this matter? Because we all have unique experiences and insights that...

I hope you’re doing great! Did you catch the epic USA vs. Canada hockey game in the 4 Nations Face-Off final this past Thursday, February 20th? If not, let me paint the picture for you: two nations, one ice rink, and a whole lot of passion. The game went into overtime, with Canada’s Connor McDavid sealing a 3-2 victory for the Maple Leaf. But beyond the score, what really stood out was how both the USA and Canada rallied behind their teams. Fans from across the border—whether in Boston’s TD...

The Upfront contract is a tactic that I learned from Sandler Training, and it is one of the best tactics to keep schedules on point. It is a little contract that you set at the beginning of any meeting or outing, it could even be used for going over to family! It consists of 4 parts: Time: How much time do we need to accomplish the goal of this meeting? Their Agenda: What would you like to get out of this meeting we are having together? Your Agenda: What do you want to get out of this meeting...

The Superbowl is today and starts in less than an hour! It is the biggest game in some of these players careers, but they didn't just wake up here. So it got me thinking about practice and how much time experts spend getting ready for the biggest game in their life. Was it practice this week that was the most important? Was it all the games that they played this year to get to this point? Was it all the games they played last year, or the year before? The thing about being an expert and on a...

Starting a business is hard and comes with thousands of issues and problems to solve. What do you sell? Where do you sell it? How do you market it? Who do you sell to? How do you get your first clients? How do you fund the expenses of starting up? The list goes on and on, and most people don't know where to start and how to get something up and off the ground. When you are starting something, the key thing you start with is your time. That's why I have chosen to focus on Uber as a base...

Personal finance is a constant battle of beliefs. Your beliefs about the future, about your ability, about other companies abilities. Each day we make decisions based on where we think the future will go, and one of those decisions that I have made is that i believe right now stocks are a great store of value against the dollar. I think that with the inflation that has happened and the deflation that may come from it, storing your excess cash in stocks will save the value and even allow for...
