The Best Way to Deal with Your Worst-Case Scenario

I recently gave the most nerve-wracking talk of my life. It was in front of my peers, at the national conference for professional speakers. It's sort of like performing open-heart surgery on another heart surgeon while hundreds and hundreds of other heart surgeons watch.In other words, tough crowd.At my first convention fifteen years earlier, I was awestruck by the speakers on the main stage. They were polished, poised, and really, really good. I decided then and there I wanted to be on that stage someday.This past July, I had my chance.The theme was Radical Relevance, and Kim and I were …

Once a month, we shine a light upon the most remarkable among us, holding them up as a dazzling example of what we should strive for in this epic battle against a formidable enemy.

Combating the Pandemic of Loneliness

Long before COVID-19 emerged on the scene like poop in a punchbowl, there was another pandemic that had taken hold of our society. The pandemic of loneliness. We are supposedly more connected than ever, with the little internet-enabled devices we carry with us everywhere. And yet loneliness, depression, and suicide are at all-time highs. Kim and I noticed this phenomenon well before COVID, but the pandemic has exacerbated the problem bigly. This leads me to think about the connection between two seemingly unrelated movies that came out the same year: the wonderfully uplifting A …

Escape Adulthood Summit 2021 Recap

It was worth the wait. After having to cancel the 2020 Escape Adulthood Summit because of that pesky global pandemic, we were overjoyed to be able to host another sold-out affair in our new hometown of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Nestled on the stunning shores of Lake Michigan, we had two glorious days to process a rough 18 months and celebrate being together again. And that was the best part: Just being together, in person, sans screens. Not to mention the hugs. Our theme this year was "Rise." After a long, turbulent journey through the depths, we wanted to provide an …

Why You Should Definitely Give Your Home a Name

Does your home have a name?There are so many things to love about Mexico, from the culture to the bright colors and the delicious food. We've twice been there as a family (Tulum and Cabo) and were delighted to discover that many of the homes had signs denoting their name.It's a charming little detail we like very much, and so when we bought our new home, we decided it needed a name, too. We settled on Casa de Whimsy. And just as when you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk, if you give your house a name, you're going to need a sign to go with it.Ours hangs …
