Journal Entry: This week has been excellent, and I feel like I’m really getting honed in on explaining and launching America’s Holding Company. I’ve started writing my blog directly about the mission I’m on and what I’m trying to accomplish—laying it all out there to inspire and invite others in. I’m starting to really use my voice to drive change, working on getting people to participate in that change, whether through ownership, action, or just engaging with the ideas. I feel very blessed...

Journal Entry: It’s been a week since my last update, and I owe you an honest explanation: I’ve been sidelined by intense pain in the wake of the public assassination of Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace. It hit me harder than I could have imagined—a gut punch that left me reeling, questioning everything. In the quiet aftermath, staring at the void his loss carved out, I saw my own life reflected back: how small I’ve been playing the game, how I’ve let a victim mentality creep in and hold me...

Journal Entry: This week’s update is all about getting real with my life—gains, gaps, and the grind to make it all work. I had a great meeting with my parents, diving into the hard truth that I can’t juggle two full-time jobs forever. There just aren’t enough hours in the day, and it’s been wearing me down. So, we talked scheduling (something I’ve slacked on lately) and zeroing in on what’s truly important. It was eye-opening to list out my priorities and commit to them: Being a dad and...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been reflecting on how incredible it is to work at WinCo, where I can truly leave work at work. Punching out after my night shift means the job stays behind—no emails piling up, no late-night stress. It’s given me precious time to pour into my side hustle and blog, and honestly, it’s been a huge blessing. In a world where hustle culture often blurs the lines, this setup lets me recharge and focus on what lights me up outside of the store. I’m getting better at...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been focused on dialing in a solid sleep schedule around my night shift at WinCo, and let me tell you—it’s been a challenge, but I’m loving how my life is set up right now. Flipping to nights means tweaking everything: powering through the shift, crashing for a deep nap in the morning, then rising refreshed for the day ahead. It’s not always smooth—those first few days felt like jet lag on steroids—but I’m finding my groove. Short power naps, consistent...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been thinking about how I’m reshaping my days from the usual 24-hour grind into a more intense, focused 12-hour cycle—and surprisingly, it’s working wonders. With my night shift at WinCo kicking in, I’ve flipped my schedule: stock shelves from 11 PM to 7:30 AM, grab a solid nap or sleep to recharge, then dive into my handyman business for a few hours in the afternoon. Another quick rest, and it’s back to the cycle. It’s not your typical routine, but it’s giving...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been reflecting on something that’s both vulnerable and vital: sharing your feelings with the ones you love and diving into those difficult conversations. Life’s too short to bottle things up—whether it’s telling someone how much they mean to you or addressing a tough issue head-on. Those talks aren’t easy; they can feel raw and risky. But here’s what I’ve learned: they build deeper connections, clear the air, and often lead to breakthroughs you didn’t see...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been digging deep into something personal that’s been a long time coming: finding my fight. For most of my life, I’ve been the ultimate pushover—letting others walk all over me, saying yes when I meant no, and avoiding conflict like it was the plague. It kept the peace on the surface, but inside? It left me frustrated, resentful, and far from the life I wanted. But no more. I’m actively working to change that, figuring out how to stand up for myself in ways that...
