The Great Reset
A couple of weeks ago in my newsletter for financial advisors I wrote about our current situation being “The Great Reset”—I know I’m not the first person to use this phrase, although I don’t remember seeing it anywhere before it hit me. In the newsletter I explained how this slow down in life, despite the inconvenience and frustration it might…
Lessons From Michael Jordan And The Last Dance–Presented By YCharts
For the last five Sundays at 9:00 PM EST, my family was glued to the TV. No iPad. No computers. No distractions. Just us and the 1990’s Bulls. It was a blast to relive the “old days” (I can’t believe I can actually say that) and for the boys to be able to see REAL basketball. It’s safe to say…

#RunWithMaud
Yesterday, Wednesday, May 6th 2020, the video of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery auto-played on my Twitter feed, and I have not been able to get it off my mind. If you have not seen it, I don’t encourage you to seek it out–all you need to know is you can see Ahmaud fight for his life, try to run…
Where Does Money Come From & Do Most People Save Or Spend Their Money?
It’s been two weeks since Roman and Leo’s last haircut, which means this weekend another round of Haircuts and Convos went down. Instead of asking them the questions, I let them do the asking. Naturally, I managed to work in a question of my own…if you had enough money to never have to worry, what would you do? Leo kicked…
