Yesterday I attended the Waste Management Phoenix Open; certainly not the most prestigious golf tournament, but definitely the most rowdy. Many people call it the Happy Gilmore Open, and for obvious reasons. The event is less filled with demure older gentleman, but fully tanked frat boys dressed up as Vikings. All the action centers around…

Last night I wrote my shortest, and indisputably worst, blog post. The reason was simple, I left it to the absolute last moment, and had just finished up an evening at the open bar. If you opened yesterday’s email expecting something great, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m glad I was able to keep…

I’m in Phoenix right now. Not what you would expect

After shaking off a nasty back injury and an awful bout of the flu, I went for my first run in a month. It was slow, cold, and gave me a slight chafe, but I got it in. I’m backing it up by bringing my runners to Phoenix tomorrow for round 2. I have a…

Today was a big day work-wise, in fact, the biggest for some time. Since the alarm went off at 6:30, to while I write this in bed at 9, it’s been go, go, go. Most of today was spent building a proposal for potentially a new opportunity, which is very exciting. It was about 10…

When living in a new city, you have to take every opportunity you can to make new friends. Today was one of them. I have a good friend Niv, who my wife introduced me to last year. He’s from New Zealand originally, but now happily lives in Denver. While we have done a few things…

It snowed over 12 inches today, or close to 25 centimeters. Now, this isn’t the first time I have seen snow, but it is certainly the first time that I have driven in so much. It certainly made things more difficult. My wife and I drove from Denver to Keystone today to go skiing, and…

We all use technology, and while negative externalities certainly abound, there are some programs that do make life better. Perhaps I will dedicate Friday’s to sharing which tools I find super effective, and which ones could remain uninstalled. There are no affiliate links here, just my genuine thoughts on the matter. One of my goals…

A couple of friends and I have recently formed a weekly check-in group to keep us accountable, based on the concept outlined by Nick Crocker. You can read it HERE. The basic idea is that a small group of peers, who know you well and care about your progress, can provide a great sounding board…
