I Missed
Howdy, Zack here. So, you missed a day. Maybe even a few days. Or, even more... Are you really going to let that stop you? What have you given up lately for exactly that reason? Now, that you didn't stick with your promised deadline, is it better to let it all go? Or, buckle up and do it anyway? Hey, I'm behind on my 'weekly' letter to you. So, I get it. I really do. I almost didn't send today's letter. I'm not perfect and guess what, neither are you. So, own it, and take another shot. How...
Turn On Your Light
Howdy, Zack here. What’s up? Why are you sitting in the dark? God gave you a light to shine, and it’s not just a kid’s song—it’s about embracing your unique calling. It’s about being you—truly you, embarrassingly you. It’s not about what others think; it’s about unapologetically living out your gifts. With 17-year-old triplets at home, all applying for college right now, we're talking a lot about what's next for them. A big part of our discussion is not only about what they can see themselves...
It's Time to Clean Things Up.
Howdy, Zack here. Ever feel like life’s just a little too much? You know what I mean—the juggling act of endless to-do lists that never seem to shrink, and the struggle to figure out what to tackle next. It’s like you’re a master juggler, but instead of feeling in control, you’re just waiting for the moment everything comes crashing down. What used to be exhilarating has turned into a chore, and you find yourself running on a hamster wheel, getting nowhere fast. I’ve been there, too. When I...
I Get Knocked Down
Howdy, Zack here. Ever feel like setbacks knock you off course? We all do. But here’s the truth: success is about how quickly we bounce back—not avoiding the fall. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve stumbled in my career. Each stumble came with a choice—sit in frustration or stand up and adjust. And I’ve learned: resilience is the muscle that grows stronger every time we choose to get up again. So how can we stay resilient, even when life throws punches? At the moment of failure, it’s easy to...
Who Cares What They Think?
Howdy, Zack here. How often do you worry about what 'they' think and how does that tend to affect your decision-making? Ugh. I have some regrets. I can rewind my business history and think of many instances where I let the opinions of “experts,” mentors, and even family sway me. Not that their advice wasn’t valid; sometimes it was. But letting fear dictate my actions often did more harm than good. Like the time I hesitated to buy 1,000 bitcoins for $1,000 because a financial friend said it...
From Valleys to Victory
Howdy, Zack here. Are you navigating a challenging valley in life right now? Are things not going as planned? Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? These moments can be tough, to say the least. I know. I've been there. We all have. But they also offer profound lessons and opportunities for incredible growth. Whether you follow a particular faith or not, the wisdom found in Biblical teachings and Stoic philosophy can offer valuable guidance through these difficult times. They emphasize...
🛑 Just stop it.
Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...
🥰 It's just, love.
Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...
⏳ When Will It Be Time?
Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
♥️ Embrace Grace
Howdy, Zack here. Grace is freely given by God to each of us, yet we often withhold it from ourselves and others. Consider your day yesterday—were there moments where having more grace could have made a positive difference? I can recall several moments from my own day: being quick to judge, lacking patience, not listening attentively, and sometimes telling rather than asking. As Edgar H. Schein eloquently states in his book, "Humble Inquiry": "What we choose to ask, when we ask, what our...
