Every day I have one less day on this earth, one less opportunity to make an impact. If that thought can't motivate me to action, what will?
Unmotivated
It's easy to do the hard thing when you're motivated. When everything is going well and the idea is fresh. There's an energy and magnetism pulling you towards the work. Then that fades. It dulls out and gets hard. Life starts to get in the way. Excuses that you brushed off earlier now become real.... Continue Reading →
Be Farm Strong
Wake up every day with discipline to do the work that needs doing. The work that most people won't do, or understand. The work that has to be done whether you want to do it or not. The work that makes a difference. The work that nourishes the world. Farm strong isn't about being a... Continue Reading →

Competition
It brings a certain fire out. A fight inside. I love and crave it. I can tell when I haven't competed in a while because I yearn for the feeling. The feeling of butterflies and excitement.
