I find solace sitting on the porch, watching the sun peek through the leaves while sipping coffee. It’s my quiet moment to think. That calm was interrupted when my cousin asked me to fix her daughter’s car seat, it was way too tight and uncomfortable for her. While I was adjusting the seat, a young […]

The other day, my wife looked at me and said something I didn’t even know I needed to hear: “Give yourself grace.” She told me it was something she had to remind herself of that morning too. She said she felt like God, by His Spirit, was encouraging her spirit with those exact words, and […]

I said it before and I’ll say it again: I really did not like school. The structure? Hated it. The curriculum? Felt like it was designed to kill creativity. Every day felt like a reminder that this blueprint wasn’t made for people like me. I always wondered who came up with this whole system, because […]

One day I looked up and realized I had created an entire ecosystem, and most of it lived on what I now know as digital real estate. My wife and I have been empty nesters for a little over a decade now. When it comes to traditional real estate, we’ve thought about buying a home. […]

I know a lot of people will look at this title and think, “What kind of cons could there possibly be to making $55,000 a month, if you’re barely making ends meet. I get it, m, it sounds like a dream. I was on the phone with a friend recently, and we started reminiscing. We […]

I woke up at 5:30 AM this morning and checked my bank account. Something hit me, today was the day I needed to sit down and take a serious look at all of my business expenses. What should I keep? What should I cut? What should I pay annually instead of monthly? It wasn’t just […]

There’s a scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming that lives rent-free in my head. Spider-Man is trying (and failing) to interrogate a criminal. The dude looks at him and says, “You gotta get better at this part of the job.” That dude? Played by Donald Glover,  you might know him better as Childish Gambino. That line hits […]

How could this happen every Saturday? I go get a haircut. I always try to stay ready so I don’t have to get ready. That’s been my motto for years. But somehow, every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I find myself overthinking content. What should I talk about? Now to me, that’s kind of crazy […]

I probably shouldn’t be disappointed in people’s mindsets, but I am. Conversations in the barbershop, casual talks with friends… I’m seeing a pattern, and it’s hard to ignore. I’ve realized something sobering: you can’t save people from their mindset. They have to want to change. You can give them game. You can offer wisdom. You […]

What are we doing here, God?What is this season?Why am I going through this? These are just a few of the questions I’ve asked the Lord over the last three years. I’ve been a believer for over 20 years, and one thing I’ve learned for certain is this: we can always depend on the character […]
