We all do some reflection from time to time right? We think back to what we were doing this time last week, last month, last season or maybe last year. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can shrug off the results of that reflection: “meh, same ol’, same ol’,”. But there have been…

A few things I’m into right now: SEE: The End It Movement in action — Join me in partnering with them to fund the fight against modern-day slavery. READ: The 4 Disciplines of Execution — It’s a Covey book, which means it’s a pretty heavy read… but full of valuable research and information. HEAR: K-Love —Or silence, especially when…
