CrossFitters can be annoying–we post pictures of torn hands, sweat angels, and our workouts. We constantly talk about PRs, our Paleo snacks, and macronutrient counts. I get why non-CrossFitters don’t always like us. But, no matter how annoying we can be with our love for CrossFit, one thing cannot be denied, CrossFitters are a part of an amazing community. Today,…
Disclosure: As of this writing, I personally own bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC) and may invest in other cryptocurrencies in the future. If you have not invested in bitcoin, you’re most likely getting the itch as the value of a bitcoin races towards $10,000.

Every Saturday I’ll be releasing my own compilation, a mixtape if you will, of blog posts from the week I think are worth your time. This week’s mixtape is a special edition–the first financial blog I regularly followed, The Reformed Broker, turned nine this week.

The excitement of the last week and a half has been well documented on Instagram and Twitter, so I won’t revisit Silas in my intro…I did include my blog post below though. There were so…
If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or the blog you are well aware that we welcomed our third (and last) son, Silas, to our family on Halloween night. For those who have not met Silas yet, allow me to introduce you here. Since I’ve been thinking about babies a lot lately, I decided to cover the important things parents…
I’ve been meaning to write this for about a week now, but I’ve been preoccupied, with good reason. Halloween was an eventful day for my family. After taking Roman (Carlos from Disney’s The Descendants) and Leo (Steph Curry) around the neighborhood to trick-or-treat, I came home to find my wife having contractions about 6-7 minutes apart; they had started earlier…
