Show Notes
The way I work in my 30s looks different because of what I did in my 20s.
In this episode, I break down five things that shaped that decade—from acting on the “what ifs” and pursuing genuine interests to ignoring the wrong opinions, embracing pressure, and learning from people who had already been where I wanted to go.

Nick Saban’s “Importance of Nothing” speech got me thinking about entitlement—what we believe we’re owed and how that mindset shapes the way we work, respond, and live.
Stef joins me again to talk about marriage, faith, family, community, and the season we’re currently walking through.
Over the last 90 days, I lost about 10 pounds and got leaner without crash dieting, starving myself, avoiding social situations, or sacrificing my training and recovery. I did it by locking in - not through extreme restriction, but by narrowing my focus, reducing unnecessary decisions, and giving the process enough time to work.
In this episode, I share five things I wish I knew before becoming a dad. I talk about treating children as the cornerstone of an unfinished life, staying ambitious without letting work control the home, prioritizing what matters when balance feels impossible, becoming an intentional father, leading through the example I set, and building confidence through curiosity, courage, and competence.
