the Weekly Note Vol. 35


Happy Saturday--here's this week's Daily Notes and while there wasn't a new episode of LifeDesign+, I did have my appearance on my friend Bogumil Baranowski's podcast, Talking Billions, drop this week.

This was such an enjoyable conversation and an honor--I've been a fan of Talking Billions since Bogumil dropped episode 30 and he's now over 100 episodes. I've always admired his interviewing style and the caliber of guests. To be an alum of Talking Billions is a huge compliment!

In this episode I had the opportunity to share more about the authentic life, how I arrived at it, how to find it, and more---there were even some new ideas/connections I made while talking with Bogumil, which was pretty cool.

I hope you enjoy the epsiode.

I also dropped a new episode of Musings with Morgan this week, and I'm sharing some details about the breathwork session I did while in Sedona earlier this summer. It was such an amazing experience and I'm currently trying to find someone in or around Indianapolis who leads holotropic breathwork sessions because I want to do it again---my struggle to find someone has me thinking about going through the certification process in the future to be able to lead others and use the technique in my future coaching work.

I also share how I was listening to my intuition and signs from the Universe to navigate a potential new home purhcase--we did not end up putting in an offer on the house and are maintaining our plan to stay in our current house, put in a pool, and be there until Silas is in college. But, I think it is helpful to see how I look within and to higher powers when looking to make decisions.

Chase Jarvis with Rich Roll to discuss his new book, Never Play It Safe; it's probably pretty obvious that there is a lot of overlap between Chase's work and my work with the authentic life.

See you next week (or tomorrow) and keep pursuing,

A friend told me a story his pastor shared, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately: A father and son planned a road trip across the desert. This trip happened before cell phones, GPS devices, and modern technology that makes traveling easy, and the risk of getting lost very, very low. Armed with just a map and a full tank of gas, the father and son began their trip. After a couple of hours on the road, they arrived at a fork in the road—a fork that wasn’t on their map. Confused by the...

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Note, I started the day being lazy–laying on the couch, binge-watching Starting Five on Netflix, and researching different breathwork trainings. My lazy Sunday didn’t stop there. I did some reading.I watched some football.I took a couple of short naps.I cut the backyard.I watched two movies on the couch with Silas in the evening. I didn’t think about work, I didn’t think about writing anything, and I didn’t feel the need to be on my computer planning for the...

I’ve spent a large chunk of this morning being “lazy,” binge-watching Starting Five on Netflix, getting ideas out of my head and into Notion, and researching different breathwork training programs--it's been extremely refreshing being lazy for a bit. Now isn’t the time, but in the next year, I’d like to start a program to become a breathwork facilitator to use in my LifeDesign+ work and even do small group sessions. I know that becoming a great facilitator will require me to learn different...
