If I take another 4 month break from Instagram, please know that I’m good.

I’m busy building a Bespoke Coaching business that serves as a family office for partners wanting a calm mind and a fit body.

My beautiful wife and daughters give me support and inspiration. My boy Mack is my shadow 🐶 My friends check in on me and I do the same for them. My Mum is more active than people 20-30 years younger.

My clients are doing well. The client that I enjoyed a flaming tomahawk steak dinner with has lost 40 pounds, and is stronger and more resilient than when we started.

It’s not that I/we don’t have any challenges. It’s just that the good far outweighs the bad. And the bad I’m processing with

I’ll check messages for the next two days. We can swap contacts. After that I delete the app again.

This book on Sandbag Training was fantastic. I'm writing more these days. There will be a lot more reviews on my favorite books and equipment.

This is for Brick, NJ residents. Ready to get stronger together?

**Strength Club**

Strength Club is for everyday adults looking to build strength for life. Whether you're new to fitness or have some experience, this class meets you where you are, with exercises that are fully adaptable to your level. My goal is to help you feel stronger, more mobile, and less stiff, so you can live an empowered life. Join us and work toward longevity and strength in a supportive community environment.

*$10 suggested donation, $1-20 sliding scale. Classes are on Monday and Wednesday at 6pm and Saturdays at 9am at the Family Life Center of Brick Presbyterian Church.*

**Seated Strength & Stretch**

Seated Strength & Stretch is an adaptable 30-minute class perfect for those who need a little extra support. If standing for long periods or balance is a challenge, this class offers a safe way to build strength and flexibility from the comfort of a chair. While it’s great for seniors, anyone who can benefit from a seated workout is welcome. Together, we'll move toward better mobility and well-being, one step at a time.

Writing can be painful.

As I tidy up my article on how the Ancestral Wisdom of Ubuntu has affected my life, I’m faced with a painful past.

- Losing my father to a brain tumor

- Losing our house to a house fire

- Feelings of loneliness and lack of purpose during the lockdowns

Finding peace with these feelings means leaning into them—time to go inward and onward, friends.

Thank you for being a part of my journey. If you want to receive these articles in my newsletter, go here https://substack.com/?utm_source=profile-page

How ironic that the devil tempted Eve to eat an apple, and now tempts us not to.

Ubuntu = Interconnected Humanity.
I am because you are.
A person is a person through other people.

I've written the "Ubuntu 101" post. Now I'm writing about my experiences with human connection and how I have been impacted when I don't feel connected.

The next article will touch on...
* our neighbors shoveling and plowing the neighborhood when my father passed away at home
* a random church group who rebuilt my treehouse after it was destroyed in our house fire
* my dad's AA buddy who stepped up to take a sad young middle schooler to therapy and doctor appointments
* how practicing Ubuntu and using magic mushrooms help you arrive at the same conclusion

Catch up on the Ubuntu basics here...

I am because you are.

Why plan for the next fiscal quarter when we can plan for generations not yet born?

This talk is chock full of Ancestral Wisdom.

Rewild yourself.

Rewild our habitat.

In this profoundly hopeful talk, Diné musician, scholar, and cultural historian Lyla June outlines a series of timeless human success stories focusing on Nat...

Thought experiment: If AI takes a large percentage of jobs, what will you do?

I will become a better human because that's the only thing AI can't do. I’m perfectly imperfect. So are you and I love you for it. I secretly hope that I'll be really good in this situation because no one is confusing me for being precise or robotic.

I think the fact that I publicly learn via the school of hard knocks shows that I don’t have s**t figured out, but I’m figuring it out.

What I’m figuring right now is that the most precious resources are the ones that we’ve known for most of human history. The earth and all living inhabitants of it.

What do you figure?

side note: I use Grammarly to help with... grammar. It's currently going berserk with suggestions because of how imperfectly this is written. and I don't care.

I've realized a distinction between Substack and Facebook. You can tell me your thoughts (after you subscribe to my Substack haha)

Substack is generally a place you go when you want to pay attention. Facebook is generally a place you go when you seek distraction.
