Swimmy
On Sunday mornings, my routine usually involves a trip for coffee followed by a quiet moment at the beach to watch the sunrise. Most often, I do this alone, though sometimes my wife joins me. This Sunday, while she attended a yoga seminar in South Beach, I went to my [...]
Something to Look Forward To
Anyone who knows me is aware that I’m a big fan of movies and music. I often weave movie quotes into conversations with my employees during meetings to anchor certain sentiments or emphasize key points. I’ve found this technique particularly effective in helping both patients and employees create a reference [...]
The Magic Trunk
On previous blogs, I've shared my thoughts on where I am in life's journey and how much of my introspection comes from looking back at the past. This post follows a similar theme. Dr. Wayne Dyer writes about the four stages of a man's life: Athlete, Warrior, Statesman, and Spirit. [...]
Opening the Kimono
Every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m., I have a Zoom meeting with my social media manager and SEO director. We review our weekly agenda and assess the progress we've made in strengthening Fed-Hurt's market position. During one recent meeting, the topic of my weekly blog came up, along with the [...]

The Social Contract
I’ve wrestled all week with what to write, aiming to be neither political nor judgmental, just observational. Last Tuesday marked my return to the office after two blissful weeks driving the RV across Canada. And, true to Murphy’s Law, no good deed goes unpunished. Upon my return, I was immediately [...]
Hello Gorgeous
Our RV trip concluded in Quincy, Washington, at an outdoor concert venue known as The Gorge. At the outset, we set our intention: to be fully present, reduce screen time, and embrace the uncertainty of the adventure ahead. Having been to the renowned Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Boulder many [...]
The Importance of Flexibility
I am a habitual early riser, as was my father and grandfather before me. I relish the quiet and stillness that morning provides. My typical morning routine involves showing gratitude, meditating, and enjoying a coffee before heading to the gym. Recently, I’ve been waking up around 4:00 a.m., though not [...]
The Challenge of Decision Making
Decision-making is one of the most challenging tasks people face daily. While choosing what to eat for breakfast can be daunting for some, I’m referring to the decisions that shape our lives or, in some cases, drive us. Most decisions are guided by two primary forces: pleasure and pain. These [...]
