When life kicks you in the mouth


My wife went down with the stomach bug last night. Which isn't ideal, because as many of you know we're expecting our third baby any day now.

She's feeling better now, but of course I caught whatever it was this morning, hence the late email (sparing you the details but suffice to say this is the first time I've been able to focus my eyes today)

I had a thousand things I wanted to do today. Record two podcasts. Call inside the fatherize community. Create some multi-platform contnet. And write this email.

This email is all that's going to get done.

It is a good reminder though: sometimes life will just kick you in the mouth (and it's certainly capable of much more ferocious kicks than we're receiving right now).

And it's also a good reminder that nothing is more important than your health.

What's the old saying? A healthy man wants a million things. A sick man wants just one. That slaps. Would make a good tweet. Maybe I'll post it sometime.

So a reminder for myself and for anybody reading this: you can only be superman if you're healthy. And if you try to be superman at the expense of your health, you aren't the only one who suffers.

peace and love

Three years ago I was still figuring out this whole online business thing. I was basically clueless, as this post will evidence. For a long time I'd admired a prominent online personality who many of you probably know, Joshua Lisec. Well imagine my surprise when he DMd me one day out of the blue back in 2021. He asked me what I was working on and I told him. I was in the middle of writing a book. I still have the book draft today, tens of thousands of words, but I never published it. Why?...

I know a lot of guys on this list are running or interested in running coaching/consulting type offers So I wanted to share something I've seen industry-wide, that's fundamentally impacted how I operate There is SO MUCH FATIGUE with "online coaches" in the marketplace Prospects have been bombarded for years with crappy offers and outreach from people they don't know, trying to sell them some vague "coaching program"...and this has led to .... THE HIGHEST TRUST BARRIER EVER in this industry....

So many guys who get into a rut in their marriage have the wrong answer to this question: "How many lightbulbs are out in your house, right now?" One? Two? Three?? How long have they been out? And here are some follow-up questions: Why are they still out? What are you waiting for? Who ELSE is going to change them for you? If you can't tell by now, the question isn't really about lightbulbs. It's about the little things in our lives that we let slide...that we let go into disrepair. It's about...
