The Disappointment That is Black Friday
Did you get a black eye on black Friday? You and everyone else. Unless you were smart and stayed home, where more than 60% of shoppers turned online sales (from their phones!) into higher numbers than brick and mortar buildings can boast. Jeff Bezos of Amazon finally reached over the $100 Billion mark. […]
For Leaders: The Promise Your Employees Expect from You
If you prefer to watch this message, here is a video summary My very first job was working for free with my cousins, Spencer and Nate Goates, for their summer lawn business, GoBros. My Dad told them to teach me how to work. And boy did we work! They would pick me up […]
The Unspoken Promise of a Good Sense of Humor
As you’re well aware, I’m no political humor guy, but recent events have made the conversation of diviciveness inescapable. Our country is falling into a funk and thus my job feels more like a mission than a career. My mission statement is that “I am a Messenger of Joy, sent to Ignite Joy in […]
The Promise of Being Helpful
Let me tell you a little story. We bought a brand new motorhome in June 2017 due to our old motorhome having a generator issue that couldn’t be resolved in time for us to keep our scheduled trip. A generator in a motorhome is only secondary in importance to the actual engine. It provides […]

This One Made Me Laugh
Some stories you just can’t make up. I talk about the importance of loving one’s family, but also know not everyone is having success in that department. This news article made me laugh out loud in both the silliness of it, as well as feeling sad at the same time for this guy. […]
Father Time 2.0
Just in time for Father’s Day this weekend we have released my “Father Time” NEW recording, as completed at the VidAngel studios with DryBar Comedy a few weeks ago. I blogged about it HERE. You’ll relate to my singing “I Will Wait” by Mumford & Sons as I patiently make the kids gather their […]
Have You Heard of VidAngel?
The other night our family snuggled in for a chance to watch something fun on NETFLIX. As we scrolled through the options, our kids had seen a majority of the limited “Family Movies” section, even multiple times, so we went in search of something new and fun to watch together. After scrolling and previewing […]
The Promise of Compliments
