Monthly challenges for 2020 haven’t been a total bust (like 2019), but they’ve not been super consistent. I’m picking it back up for October w/ a “Phone/Email Simplification” challenge. Here’s what that means: Gmail is hidden on my phone. I’m a huge fan of email batching and do a pretty good job of batching while […]

April Real Estate Statistics: What do they mean?
We hope you’re doing well and staying safe. We received the full April 2020 market statistics from Independence Title on Wednesday, so wanted to send these out to everyone, along with our comments and interpretations. Since local businesses are affected heavily by the COVID-19 crisis, we want to highlight a local business owner when we […]
Marshmallow Test
With no exaggeration, I can say that the most anxious moment I’ve had as a parent is when I gave Beck the marshmallow test at around 4yo. “Would you like to have one marshmallow now, or two marshmallows later?” Luckily, he picked “two marshmallows later” with only a little hesitation. It’s a no brainer if […]
May Challenge – Journaling
I’m trying a journaling challenge again and I’m committed to making it all the way through May. This time, I’m committing to journaling 5x per week (rather than every day, which is what I tried last year.) There are tons of benefits to journaling: It helps you be more reflective, it helps you be accountable […]
Blogging Challenge Recap
My April challenge was to write 3 blog posts per week and share them on social media. Per my original post, I tried 30 day challenges last year and fizzled out on month #1 b/c I tried to bite off more than I should have. How did I do? I wrote 12 total posts (including […]

You Can’t Out Train a Bad Diet Pt III
I meant to write this on Monday, but things have been getting in the way. Last week was somewhat predictable. I ended up hiking 51 miles last week and I logged <1500 calories every day except for Saturday. I lost exactly 2 lbs, weighing in at 160.2 lbs on Saturday morning. My totals for the […]
Agent’s Career Path of Success
I wrote “An Agent’s Career Path of Success” over the weekend in our company culture docs and received enough positive feedback that I thought I’d share it publicly. Our company has a really robust set of documentation and I started writing Culture Docs last year as I would think of how to solve problems at […]
You Can’t Out Train a Bad Diet Pt II
Two weeks ago, I hiked 60 miles, ate/drank whatever I felt like, and gained 1/2 lb. Last week, I hiked 48 miles & journaled (most) all of my meals, but didn’t shoot for a caloric deficit, only relying on the fact that journaling does make me more conscious about my diet. I weighed 163.3 at […]
Skiing vs Snowboarding
I started skiing when I was a kid and went once/year until college. After that, I went periodically, but not a ton. I tried snowboarding for 3 days at 17 and had the typical “fell a ton and hated it” experience. I picked up a snowboard again in my mid twenties and have ridden ever […]
