WITH INTENTION BLOG

Hi all,

I’m writing my first book, With Intention, and I’m coming across so many great pieces of writing, quotes, podcasts, etc. that I wanted to share some of them in a simple format for you.

Some inspiration:

“We are all a little broken, but the last time I checked, broken crayons still color t...

Death is a crazy thing. It can be terrifying to think about. When I was a kid I recall thinking about dying and thinking about the rest of eternity and just being gone forever. I remember feeling scared and then I would just tune it out. I didn’t think about it often but when I did, man it would sca...

One of my past coaches, David, used to tell me this – your mind is a great guide but a terrible master. It doesn’t get any better than that. We’re wired for survival aren’t we?

Think about it for a second – when’s the last time your mind – your thoughts – held you back? Maybe even subconsciously.

What if we looked at the adversity we face differently? What if we looked at our challenges as things that happen for you instead of to you? It’s a minor flip in mindset and words but it has huge implications.

My encouragement to you today is to keep battling. Michelle and I are celebrating our ...

Of all the people I’ve interviewed and all the experiences in business, sports and life, if I had to pick one secret sauce it would be this – resiliency. The ability to keep fighting. To get back up when you’ve been knocked down. To compete and keep working. That’s magic. When you fail, can you rebo...

James Clear is the NY Times Best-Selling Author of Atomic Habits. I met James many years ago at a conference and I knew right away he had a special talent for distilling information down to the basics. I had the privilege to read an advance copy of AH and provide feedback in 2017. And, I remember ha...

Hey there. We’re on to the fifth and final step in the process toward a life of Intention – Adjust and Adapt. Just like a fighter pilot who has to consistently assess inputs and make adjustments to stay on course – you need your own situational awareness and you must take a look at your current resu...

We’re on step four of the Intention Flywheel. And, that’s simply this – taking action. As a reminder, the first four steps – Awareness, Agency & Ambition. Awareness is simply where you are today. Agency is taking ownership and controlling what you can control. Ambition is your desired state or targe...

Have you ever looked in the mirror and said…I wish I was doing more or further ahead of where I am today? If so, you’re not alone. I’ve been there and this “voice” still pops into my head every so often. I actually think it’s a healthy thing to get this feeling once in a while.

I shared my story a ...

Hey there. Happy Saturday to you! I had an issue with my email integration recently so some of these posts may not have come through. I’ve been writing about a framework I’ve been fortunate to leverage in my life and work and also help others implement. I call it the Intention Flywheel. It’s a five-...

Happy Friday! I referenced the Intention Flywheel last week. This is a framework that’s helped me immensely in my life and work. It’s also helped me coach, mentor, manage and parent.

After interviewing over 100 leaders and top performers, I believe there are five crucial steps to get better or tran...

Hi there – I trust this finds you well. I appreciate you being here and reading this. This week has me reminiscing a lot. Bowling Green, my alma mater, won the MAC soccer title on Sunday and is playing in the D1 NCAA tournament next week in the states. This is the first appearance since 1997 which h...
