In this deeply personal episode, I take a step back to reflect on the journey of growth, the lessons we learn from our past, and the ongoing challenge of balancing love, accountability, and grace. Life doesn’t always fit into neat, black-and-white lines—sometimes the past and present collide in ways that challenge us. Join me as I share my thoughts on what it means to navigate the complexities of being a man, a father, and a person constantly striving to do better. We’ll talk about how hindsight shapes our perspective, the importance of self-reflection, and the weight of trying to build a better future for ourselves and our families. It’s an emotional dive into the struggles and triumphs we all face, with the reminder that through it all, there’s always something to learn.

In this episode I share why staying focused on your task even when it starts to seem like it's the wrong decision can be the best thing you can do. At the end of the day it's all about perseverance within the scope of who you are and what you're comfortable with.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of those moments where patience runs out and people show you exactly who they are. Maya Angelou once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them,” and man, was I reminded of that today. I talk about the frustration of trying to stay grounded while dealing with the reality of holding others accountable. Sometimes, it feels like the only option is to burn it all down. Join me as I vent, reflect, and ask what it really means to keep your peace when everything’s pushing you to your limits.

Some days don't work out how I planned and it kills my drive. An interview did not go the way I wanted and I share my frustration.

Kick back and relax with me in this episode as I chat about the laid-back art of strategic productivity. Picture it like a lazy Sunday chess match—no stress, just smooth moves and smart planning.
