What I'm Reading:

I just started re-reading the best fiction book I'd ever read: "Red Rising" by Pierce Brown. I read this for the first time a few years ago and fell in love with it. So I'm re-reading! I'm also reading NYT best selling author Adam Grant's new book, "Think Again," which is also excellent. I’ll be interviewing Adam on the BiggerPockets Podcast this week (for release in a few weeks).

What I've Learned:

I attended a class this week about YouTube - and learned that YouTubers are seeing a 30% lift in views by posting 4K content. So, I'm in! You should start seeing some even better quality videos from me soon!

What I've Purchased:

Do you have that one t-shirt that just fits so good? It’s comfy, it looks good, it feels good - and it hold ups after a lot of washes? I LOVE a great t-shirt but it’s hard to find a good one that will last. I finally found one I love - so I bought 5 of them this week! All green. And they are cheap - it’s just the basic American Apparel Tri-Blend from Amazon for around $13.  Highly recommended. I linked it here. And no, they didn’t pay me to say this lol. I just love the shirts!

What I Photographed:

Each week I share a photo I snapped in the previous week. Sometimes serious. Sometimes random and funny. Maybe a selfie once in a while. Just because.

Heather and I did our "Quarterly Goal Review Date" the other night.  We had an amazing time, got to review our annual goals, found some ways we've fallen behind on a few of them, and celebrated a few wins we've crushed.  If you set some goals with your spouse/significant other at the beginning of the year, do a quarterly review! If you didn't...do a goal setting date! Either way, be intentional about setting goals with your significant other.

What I'm Excited About:

Lots of stuff. Big stuff happening! But I’ll mention this one:  I’m launching a subscription coffee delivery company in a few weeks - and I just saw the final bag design and it's awesome!  BeardyBrew is gonna be amazing! (Seriously.... that's the name of it!) I’ll share more on that in future weeks/months. 

Your Friend,
