I’m 40! We are at the best time of our lives, we know some things but still have a lot left to learn. Let’s eat better, make money, pray, drink water, laugh, figure out this wife and mom thing and run after our goals. And with all this we will have a lot of laughs, crazy good guests and honest talks…

    Yeah this is weird. We are stuck in the house or supposed to be. But what if you use this time to change your life? We cram a million things into our vacations. And summer breaks have summer camp, summer jobs and a million other things. But this...this has rest. So instead of binging on Netflix daily (yeah enjoy some movies) make a plan, work your business, launch your podcast and appreciate the time. If money is your concern...find another way to make some outside of your traditional arena. You are creative!!! Use the gifts you have and soar!
