Here’s How I’m Actually Doing It. A few days ago, I wrote a post called Make 2026 Your B*tch. It wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t gentle. And it definitely wasn’t for everyone. That post was about deciding—deciding that this year wouldn’t just happen to you. That you wouldn’t drift, doomscroll, overcommit, or wake up in December wondering where the hell the year went. A bunch of…
Let’s get something straight right out of the gate. 2026 doesn’t owe you a damn thing. It’s not going to be easier just because you’re tired. It’s not going to slow down because you’re overwhelmed. It’s not going to wait until you feel “ready.” If you drift, 2026 will absolutely make you its b*tch. But here’s the good news— It’s early, and you still get…
We should always strive for unity, but not conformity. That line’s been bouncing around in my head lately. Maybe it’s age. Maybe it’s experience. Maybe it’s watching the world tear itself apart over every tiny disagreement while pretending it’s “progress.” Whatever it is, I’ve learned this: Unity makes us stronger. Conformity makes us stupid. And yet, we live in a world where people constantly confuse…
You’ve heard the saying before: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” I think these days it’s paved with convenience. We’ve built a world obsessed with making everything easier, faster, and more comfortable—and it’s slowly killing us. Not in the dramatic, apocalyptic way movies show, but in small, quiet ways that eat away at our capability, our freedom, and our awareness. We wanted…
One truth that’s helped me tremendously over the years: Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners. Let that sit for a second. This isn’t arrogance. It’s not bravado. It’s clarity. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others, you reclaim your peace, your purpose, and your power. NOTE: If you’re someone who struggles with defining what your purpose is, here’s a book that might…
If you know me, you know I love a good rabbit hole. I’ll start researching one thing — maybe a vulnerability, a business idea, some random historical footnote — and three hours later I’m neck-deep in technical docs, case studies, or a string of “how did I end up here?” tabs. That drive to explore is one of my ADHD superpowers. It’s also one of…
NOTE: This came from an internal dialog with myself. So, when you see “you”, think of me referring to myself. Lord knows, I am a work in progress and I may not be qualified to give you (the one reading this) advice. We love our freedom of speech. It’s one of the most sacred rights we have, and we should protect it fiercely. But somewhere…
Every year, the fireworks go off. Flags fly. The grills fire up. People post red, white, and blue selfies with captions about freedom, bravery, and patriotism. And every year, I find myself feeling a little… conflicted. Don’t get me wrong—I love this country. I’m incredibly grateful to have been born in the United States. There’s a lot to admire here: our ideals, our innovation, our…

Let’s cut through the bullshit. AI is not your friend. It’s not your therapist, not your priest, and it sure as hell isn’t your soulmate. It’s a tool. A powerful, sometimes brilliant, sometimes dangerous tool. And when you start thinking it’s something else, when you start confusing output with empathy, you’re walking into a trap. Stop Hugging the Table Saw You don’t fall in love…
