1. Something I’ve been thinking about this week… I’ve been thinking more about contrast this week. I frequently listen to Lewis Howes’ podcast, School of Greatness. I was excited to see that he had Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a PhD biochemist, who is one of the smarter researchers I have heard talk about aging, cancer, and…
When confronted with having to make a decision about a course of action to take, it always helps to know ALL of your options. It is very difficult to make great decisions with limited information and data. It also makes it difficult, and often dangerous, if you only know some of the available options. So…
1. Adventure I had this week… My son and I headed to Colorado for a quick trip for some spring skiing. We flew out late last Thursday night to ski Friday and Saturday, and possibly some skiing early Sunday before flying back home. Well… a huge storm hit. Our flights were cancelled, the highway down…
As humans, we can’t possibly know everything. And as humans, we make mistakes. But as humans, it is very difficult for us to admit both of those things.

Looking back at the beginning of this pandemic, it is clear now that we had limited data, faulty leadership on most levels, and made policies that were not only ineffective, but harmful. I could write dozens of articles on…
1. Wellness tip… As the weather breaks from time to time, we need to capitalize on it. GET OUTSIDE!!! The best exercises are walking, hiking, biking, running, etc. It was sooooo good to see my neighborhood booming with outside activity this week. The fresh air, the sunshine, and moving your body are critical to optimizing…
I distinctly remember a conversation between my parents and me, and I am guessing many of you had the same conversation. Parents: “Why would you do something like that?” Me: “Everyone else was doing it.” Parents: “If everyone else jumps off a bridge, would you do that?” Room goes silent. There is something that plagues…
