What the Fed

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. This is an unofficial Marine credo. A phrase that I have used personally as well as during exchanges with my team throughout the years. Adaptability is a quality that pays dividends both personally and professionally. For instance, Blockbuster was too late to adapt to movie delivery and streaming services — enter Netflix. [...]

Reflection and introspection are closely related processes. Both require a willingness to be vulnerable, with the ultimate goal of becoming the best version of yourself, which in turn makes you better for those around you. This exercise can be uncomfortable at times, but it can also be incredibly enlightening. Whether done privately or with the [...]

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.

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.

Most decisions are guided by two primary forces: pleasure and pain. These forces can be summarized simply. [...]

As a chiropractor, the word "alignment" has a particular significance, but in the context of business or relationships, [...]

As the Summer Olympics enter the second week, I find it an opportune time to reflect on the nature of success. Success is defined differently for everyone, but the common thread is that it requires constant effort and application. Success can be divided into several categories: personal, professional, financial, physical, and spiritual. The concept of [...]

This weekend, I had the pleasure of rewatching one of my favorite movies, Legends of the Fall.

While the story is filled with tragic events, its central themes are [...]
