  • Not everything that looks like proof…is proof

    I’ve been listening to MJ DeMarco’s The Millionaire Fastlane on repeat. He separates what can be made to look like wealth from what actually functions as wealth, and that distinction is less about appearance and more about whether something can sustain itself without constant effort to keep it looking the way it does.

    In the world of business there are so many shortcuts, formulas, newfound ways to do everything from writing a book in 3 hours to 6 figures in 6 months. I have always believed in the power of possibility but I feel that there are some things that we must discover on our own. The book…

  • Facing Our Fears

    The need to step into what we fear and in so doing disperse its hold on us is powerfully brought to life by this moment in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
