On My Drive Home

Last Saturday, I met with a friend I had not seen face-to-face for over 20 years. It was very fun and got me to thinking about the value of the relationships we build – particularly in the early formative years of our lives and careers.

I hope you enjoy this short story and some of my thoughts around it.

It's time for a funny story involving me doing something innocent but then realizing how potentially creepy it made me look in the midst of mostly strangers.

Fortunately, everyone was cool, and nobody walked away thinking I was too much of a weirdo. Well, at least not as a result of what I did in this situation, anyway.

I hope you enjoy the short story.

Also – I added a brief podcast into starting with this episode. What do you think? Like it or hate it? Leave me some feedback on iTunes if you feel so inclined.

I bought a new book yesterday – "Creative Calling" by Chase Jarvis. I bought it almost immediately after I heard him on Episode 327 of The GaryVee Audio Experience podcast.

And, I got the book delivered in less than 24 hours! Quite a world we live in, isn't it?

In this episode, I talk a little bit about what motivated me to purchase the book and why the themes they discussed resonated with me. SPOILER ALERT: I haven't actually read the book yet. I've only had it for 10 hours!

However, the discussion between Chase and Gary also motivated me to record this episode. It's been a while since the last On The Drive Home recording. This was fun!

Here's a true story that taught me how to pay closer attention when using public restrooms.

Ooooh…. What could it be?!

Going grey and silver on top is par for the course in my family. I've been encouraged to dye my hair at times. No thanks. I'm not interested. And in this episode, I'll tell you why.

It's that time of year when the men of this great white northern tundra sprout the facial evidence of manliness. Listen in as I share a deeply personal confession regarding my annual struggle with Beard Envy.

Do you ride your bike in the winter? Do you have a fat bike? Well, I want one too!! Or wait, maybe I don't. No, I DO, but I think I'll wait. UGH!

I recorded this episode in early October, and it is a look inside my profound analytical vacillation regarding the desire to purchase a fat bike.

Enjoy!

Back in early 2016, I was almost elected to the Chippewa Off Road Bike Association (CORBA) board. It was a comical night for me, personally, and I think that it makes a pretty good story.

In addition to telling that story, I share a bit about my appreciation for CORBA and the work that they do to build, maintain, and support our trail systems in the area. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make this all happen.

Sit back, my friends, and prepare to be taken on a magical journey as I share my discovery of the Season of Jason and everything it means to me!

This one will ROCK YOUR WORLD! Well, most likely it won't. But I think you will enjoy the story.

It got toasty and humid here in Eau Claire in July and August. As it does every single summer. For some reason, I felt compelled to talk about it a bit on the drive home. Oh yeah… The A/C went out on my car this summer – so maybe that had something to do with it.

I also set-up my plan to share about the Season of Jason in a future episode. Ooooh…cliffhanger!
