  • Passing on Family History in a Digital Age
    Aug 2 2022

    In today's digital age, there's no reason not to share your family stories with the next generations coming up. We've got Facebook where we can connect with loved ones, even distant relatives we haven't met yet, there's digital family tree sites that let you instantly connect with census records and other existing family trees (as well as your DNA) to learn more about your roots and - finally - we've got QR codes we can put to good use to digitally share the story with all of those who are curious to learn. In this video, I'll tell you why I got interested in my own family's genealogy as of late, plus share about some digital tools you might find helpful - especially one that I think everyone should use on their family gravesites, future obituaries and more: Forevory. You can check out the Forevory memorial page I made for my own granddad easily and quickly here: https://forevorylive.page.link/GTdFzR1R6YwNkiUS6?profileId=148  - complete with photos, video, a guestbook area, his story and more. It even has a place where you can record audio notes about him! It's a great tool to keep in mind for family reunions, funerals or just storytelling with the kids in your family so they can see why they have so much to be proud of. To learn more about Forevory: https://www.forevory.com/

    Oct 28 2021

But today I'm celebrating 5 years in and reflecting back on some REAL lessons learned that entrepreneurs - old and new - should take to heart. Of all of them, #3 is probably my favorite but they are ALL true, hard core and golden as they come.

  • It All Begins With Vision - for Entrepreneurs
    Apr 28 2021

    I'm running into so many entrepreneurs lately who don't seem to have this one critically important thing CLEAR for themselves: their vision. It is easy to get lost in the weeds, the minutiae of the day-to-day grind, focusing on small, tactical things that seem very important and critical in the moment and truthfully have NOTHING to do with our long term vision for ourselves and our businesses. Take a walk with me on this episode and let's consider afresh your vision for yourself.
