admin Right now, I’m rolling out one of the year’s most iconic, challenging, and rewarding events — RAGBRAI. It will be warm, the days will be long, and the road will be filled with people who share the same wild love for the open ride. This year, I made a change: I’m not riding single-speed. I’ve swapped … Read more
I was reviewing the analytics on my recent posts and noticed something powerful: the stories that resonate most are the ones where I push myself to see what I’m truly capable of. If you run, swim, or bike, you’ve probably said it too—”I’m never doing that again.” And yet, once the soreness fades, we start looking for … Read more
This Independence Day, I’m reminded that one of the greatest freedoms we have is the ability to keep growing. We’re free to improve. Free to reset goals. Free to become more of who we’re meant to be. In my life, that looks like putting in the work, finding purpose in the grind, and building a future … Read more
This week, I watched my daughter graduate. A proud and emotional milestone that reminded me just how fast time flies and how important it is to be present for life’s big (and small) moments. Now, as we head into a stretch filled with both business travel and vacation time, I’m feeling grateful for the full calendar ahead. Meetings … Read more
The other day, I mentioned my morning playlist and one song that keeps playing on repeat is “Daydream” by Lily Meola. If you haven’t heard it yet, give it a listen. It’s not just a song it’s a challenge. A challenge to dream big, set goals that scare you, and go after them anyway. Let me … Read more
This morning, I swam 3,125 yards. That’s 125 laps. One wall. Turn. Push off. Again. And again. And again. At some point during lap 87 (or maybe 64 I lost count), it hit me: This is what progress really looks like. Not loud. Not glamorous. Just quiet effort stacked on quiet effort. 📸 Yes, there will be a … Read more
Welcome to another edition of Fantastic Friday, where we reflect on the week, seek out the growth in our struggles, and get ready to level up. Let me take you back to two years ago. A great co-worker roped me into RAGBRAI, a legendary bike ride across Iowa with over 30,000 riders. It is a rolling festival … Read more
This past weekend, I crossed a long bridge on my bike wind in my face, legs burning, but one thought in my mind: Keep your promise. That ride reminded me of something powerful: Discipline is less about willpower and more about accountability. We all have days when motivation disappears. But if you set the right systems, accountability keeps … Read more
This week, I want to discuss something that often gets overlooked in pursuing big goals: micro wins. We all love achieving something massive, running a marathon, launching a product, or landing a new role. But the truth is, those big wins? They’re built on hundreds of tiny victories stacked together. What’s a micro win? Why do … Read more
This week, I had the incredible opportunity to stand in front of a room full of people and speak about our accomplishments together. Being on the road isn’t just about travel, it’s about connection, collaboration, and seeing the impact of our work in real-time. Leadership is about more than setting direction; it’s about unlocking the … Read more
