Math and knuckleheads…
Maybe you could win every argument, but is it worth your time?

Rough travel experience today with @americanair.bsky.social but I’m a loyal customer and know they’ll make this right.

Right?

If you say everything matters…. You probably don’t truly value anything.

Always a great day for baseball in Omaha, Nebraska.

What's your favorite CWS memory?

Infrastructure decisions are culture decisions.

Your stack isn’t just about tech.
It reflects what you value:

🔹 Speed vs. control
🔹 Empowerment vs. gatekeeping
🔹 Simplicity vs. sprawl

You don’t just build systems.
You build behavior.

Winter’s Last Whisper.
For anyone who’s not quite ready to say goodbye.
A timeline cleanse from the chaos—
quiet, cold, and absolutely stunning.

🎥 Colorado, doing what Colorado does.

You can’t build trust if you can’t admit when you’re wrong.

It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being real.

The most trustworthy people aren’t spotless.
They’re honest.

Took my two oldest on a weekend trip to the mountains in Colorado.

The views were unreal, but the moments with them were better.

They heard my heart—and I heard theirs. The greatest legacy we leave might not fit on a resume… But it will echo in the hearts of those who knew us best.

Your kids won’t remember how clean the house was. But they’ll remember how safe it felt.

Don’t trade connection for perfection.

The goal isn’t spotless floors—it’s a solid foundation.

We live in a culture where rest is treated like weakness. Like something you get after you’ve proven yourself. After you’ve “earned it.” After everything else is done.

But here’s the truth:

Another morning in Colorado. And yes, it is still very good.

Love is patient, love is kind, love is also not asking why your spouse put an empty cereal box back in the pantry.

🚀 The number one obstacle to growth is...

Ego.

Don't act like you've got it all figured out.
Don't act like you don't need other perspectives.

If you think you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re either lying to yourself or you’re in the wrong room.

💬 Relationship struggles?

How often do they start with:

“Well, they should…”

Now flip it. What if you focused on:

💡 “Well, I could…”

The clouds may block your view, but the sun hasn’t gone anywhere.

See past the distractions. Chase the sun.

Keep moving toward the light—your goals, your dreams, your purpose. The path isn’t always easy, but forward is the only way. ✨🚀

No quitting. No turning back. Just steady steps toward something greater.

If you treat people the way they treat you, you’ll become a reflection of them.

If you treat people the way you want to be treated, you’ll become the person you were meant to be.

One of these options protects your character and gives you the power to choose who you become.

Little reminder for the weekend.

You can’t please everyone, so don’t waste energy trying to do the impossible.

instead, focus that energy on becoming the best version of yourself.

The internet rewards loud voices, but it’s wisdom that actually changes truth, goodness, and beauty.

Let’s stop chasing just numbers and start chasing meaning.

The world needs more truth. More depth. More content that matters.

Drop a 💬 if you’re in.

The world doesn’t just need more viral content. It needs more good content. ✨

📌 Does what you post add to the noise or bring clarity?
📌 Does it build up or tear down?
📌 Does it make the world better—or just rack up likes?
