What I discovered;

1) I can get a ton of s**t done when I grind at home for a while season.
2) I need my people.
3) Discipline is the most important ingredient.

If you're a guide, I encourage you to do the important work. If you're not sure how, pause your practice and learn. Don't let your people down. The power of their transformation is in your hands.

"If this was limitless. If there was no ceiling here. If I'm not bringing anything from my past, what could I do here? If I used my imagination and all my dreams, what could happen?"

I met my wife on Tinder on August 6th the year prior. I asked her out immediately. We went to a movie that night.

The first time I saw her in person, walking across the parking lot, I thought she looked uptight.

The movie was a documentary on the genetic predisposition toward risk in athletes. The seats in the theatre were rock hard. We were both nervous and I couldn't tell if there was any chemistry.

It wasn't until we walked through the venue to the campus grotto for drinks, that I really started to relax. She mentioned something about interviewing people for a living, and began to ask me questions about my life. Before I knew it, we were talking about my childhood, my kids, my previous marriage, and how drastically my life had changed in the last two years. We talked for hours at the bar.

We walked back that night under the stars and I didn't want it to end. I lingered, sitting on the back of my van, and drew her into a kiss. She pulled back, cocked her head, and let out a little giggle before she danced away from me.

Our courtship lasted several rocky months. By the time she snapped this photo, she was mine.

Swipe right for love.

Did you know I used to own a gym? Primal Mountain in Logan, UT.

The gym is long gone. I sold it after my divorce and moved to Washington. The t-shirts and sweatshirts still hang in the kid's closets and in my, symbolizing the realization of a dream I still have today.

Tell me who you are in three words.

Language is the lens through which we express our experience of being human. It's the child of attitude, which is arguably, the most important controllable factor in our lives. Attitude dictates experience, and language communicates that experience.

Why is the whirring of my sewing machine so peaceful to me? I believe it is a flow state. This is one of my most practiced skills. I feel at ease. I feel in control. The machine doesn't need anything from me. It doesn't criticize, complain, or ask me for more. It's not worried about when dinner is ready or if I look stupid. My time at this desk is an investment in physical production in the tangible world. When I'm done here, I'll take away a three-dimensional product that I can hold up to the light and admire. When I'm here, my fingers are busy and my mind can wander.

Where do you experience flow state? What do you contemplate when you're in the flow?

Our kids are always watching. Each moment, how I choose to treat my partner becomes a reference point for my children to understand love, communication, emotions, boundaries, generosity, family roles, compromise, and so much more. If we're fighting or loving each other, they see the extremes and everything in between.

How can I be the example of love (self-love) I want my kids to generate for themselves?
