What 16 Years as a Middle School Teacher Has Taught Me About Today’s Young Men

I’ve been teaching middle school for 16 years now, and I can attest that middle schoolers are a special breed of crazy.

Travel as Education? How Travel Has Made Me a Better Husband and Leader

For the last four years, my wife and I have been gallivanting around the world as full-time digital nomads. We sold our home and all our belongings, got online jobs, and left the U.S. in 2020.

What My Parent’s Late Divorce Taught Me About Life and Relationships

It wasn’t an event I anticipated, nor something I thought would shape my understanding of life and relationships as deeply as it has. But, life teaches us the most through unexpected experiences.

In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s common to lose the motivation for fitness. I know it’s a massive struggle for me.
