This is where I share my latest thoughts, essays and projects.
Do you think about your eating habits? Did you know that the way you eat can affect not just the length of your life but the quality of it? Eating right can make you smarter, a better athlete, and happier.
But what’s eating right? Well, I’ll tell ya. Or…uhh…Mark will.
Want to start eating better now, but don’t know what you are doing at the grocery store? Yup, that’s happened to all of us. That’s why before doing any further writing around the ketogenic diet I first wanted to publish the “7 Day Keto Grocery List.”
You can learn about the diet as you get started and start eating better food today.
Looking for a quick and easy ketogenic dinner idea? Keto stuffed peppers are easy, and can be whipped up with very little prep and cook time.
Have you been chronically injured from running? Have you purchased cushiony, highly supported running shoes and received zero relief?

I imagine the feeling I would have had this morning if the other candidate was to have won. Would I feel this way? Would I feel this sense of discomfort?

Since the age of 20, I’ve been managing a team of people. In both my success and failures, I want to share more of what I’m learning.
