Are You an Action TAKER or an Action TALKER?
This may be overly simplistic, but to me there really are only 2 kinds of people in the world. You are either an action TAKER or an action TALKER. And all of us immediately know the difference – it’s the “L”, right? But seriously…

My First Fight
I’ll never forget my first fight. In fact, the thought of it even now gets me all worked up. I’m not sure exactly how old I was, maybe 6 years old, but I know I was in 1st grade. This little boy, who had a reputation of being the class bully, was picking on a girl…
The Day That Changed My Life

If you are not familiar with the Tough Mudder, let me explain. It is a 12 mile race with 25 military style obstacles between mile 1 and mile 12. Oh…
Rage Against the Dying of the Light
Sometimes it seems so easy to just give in, give up, and go along with the status quo. Such a relief to just let go and allow yourself to become that proverbial fat, dumb, and happy person. Carving your own path can be too challenging and fraught with many risks and dangers. Going with the…
No More Excuses
Most days I love training. No secret there. But every once in a while, when I’m not quite feeling it, I catch myself looking for an excuse. At these times the flimsiest, lamest excuse will do. You know what I mean, right? The funny thing about excuses is that to someone outside looking in, they…
