The goal

This blog

I've been thinking about doing this blog for a long time.

What stops me most days is thinking that no one will care.

I will do all this work - put in this time - and at the end not a single soul will spend time reading.

What I realized is that it doesn't matter.

I've never approached a single thing in my life with the hopes of it reaching anyone. I did it for me.

I didn't think about popularity, money, or having a seat at the "table".

How I decided what I was going to do was by FEEL.

Intuition - the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.

Something about it just feels right so I pursue it.

My intuition

In college I had multiple opportunities to get a "real" job - but it didn't feel right.

What felt right was to become a coach.

Often times I would scour the internet looking for jobs someone could even get with a Kinesiology degree.

NOTHING online seemed liked the right fit.

I just kept going - I knew it would work out.

With graduation around the corner and still no job - I was not stressed out.

Something told me I made the right decision.

A few days before graduation I got a text from a friend about a full-time CrossFit coaching position in San Diego.

I went to school at Cal State Fullerton but had always dreamed of moving to San Diego - plus that's where my girlfriend lived.

Long story short - I got the job and after graduation I had locked in a full-time gig.

This is after many conversation with friends and family trying to convince me to get a "real" job.

Like I said - I go by feel - and so far in my life it's worked out pretty well.

So I've decided to start this blog - it just feels right.

What is this blog?

I've always wanted to put EVERYTHING I'm doing in one place.

  • Books I've read or am reading
  • Coaching tips
  • Social media tips
  • Work I've done
  • Goals I have
  • Life changes
  • Everything...

Somewhere I can share ANYTHING I find of value to the world.

If you happened to stumble upon this page WELCOME!

I hope I eventually share something with you that you find valuable and can take with you on life's journey.
