This morning, I had a few minutes to be mindless, so I cruised Instagram with a stupid look on my face. Yeah, nobody looks that bright aimlessly scrolling on their phone:) And I got yet another piece of the puzzle as to why the world continuously keeps packing on the pounds. I think...
Yesterday, my son asked me about, of all things, investing. Apparently, everyone on TikTok is the Warren Buffet of cryptocurrency. And nobody has ever lost a penny. As a soul-crushing father, I had to set him straight… “Yeah, that’s not exactly how that works. In general, we’re all satisfied doubling...
So, a little behind the scenes for you… I always write my emails to you in a Word doc, then copy & paste into my email. There are occasionally missing words, spelling errors, etc. But, I feel like I owe it to our Crew to be as correct as possible. ...
We have a neighbor who, as far as I can tell, spends the lion’s share of her day on X (formerly Twitter) getting worked up about politics. When she finds something particularly troubling, she sends it to my wife. At which point, my wife talks her off the ledge, “Everything...
If you’ve already missed one of our New Year’s resolutions, welcome to the club. Late January is when the gyms get back to normal as most people have already bailed on their goals for the year. Luckily, this is an unbelievable learning opportunity. The pressure is off. From this point...

Well, we’ve passed the tipping point with New Year’s Resolutions. Over 50% of folks have already stopped doing whatever they said. And the #1 reason for resolutions untimely demise… PERFECTION. We all think that we have to be perfect with our workouts, diets, etc. And if you’re one of the...
We have a goal here at 18STRONG to buy an existing golf course here in St. Louis. Yes, we have a specific course in mind, but it’s currently not for sale – but everything has a price, right? We’ve kicked around the idea of a 13 or 14 hole course. ...
Yesterday, I sent an image of a TravisMathew mannequin with a “dad bod”, and got some great feedback. One of my favorites is from Rich, one of our Crew: It’s the continued “dumbing down” in all areas of our society. I am 71 now and am dismayed by how we...
