The Day a Grown Man Called Me a “Pussy” on Reddit
It didn’t ruin my day. But it showed me how I want my kids to show up—online and off.

Sunday Mornings: Good Food, Good Vibes, and a Legacy in the Making
I love Sunday mornings. I bet you do too.
There’s something about the slower start—the chance to sleep in (or at least try), a big, hearty breakfast, and for me, the best part: cooking.
I throw on one of my favorite playlists—maybe my Around the House playlist or the Woody Allen Jazz playlist—and just vibe out.
If you walked into my kitchen on a Sunday morning, you’d probably catch me mid-chop, mid-stir, maybe even mid-dance. (Spoons make great microphones, by the way.) It’s a whole scene—music up, something sizzling on the stove, and a rhythm that turns cooking into something more than just making a meal. It’s a ritual.
And the best part? That energy spreads. The kitchen is the heart of our home, and as the smells start to drift and the music fills the air, my family naturally finds their way in. Sometimes to help, sometimes just to hang out—but either way, Sunday mornings become something we share.
I gravitate toward meals that are simple, hearty, and built to last—soups, stews, a big pot of beans. Something that nourishes us now but also saves us later in the week when life inevitably tries to steal our time.
Because to me, food isn’t just food. It’s one of the purest ways we show love. When you cook for someone, you’re not just filling their plate—you’re feeding something deeper. You’re giving them comfort, connection, and a kind of satisfaction no amount of money can buy.
That’s what I hope my kids remember. Not just the meals themselves, but the warmth of these Sunday mornings—the smell of something simmering, the music in the background, the laughter in between bites.
One day, I hope I get that call:
"Dad, remember that tortellini soup with meatballs you used to make? Can you send me the recipe?"
Because that’s the kind of legacy I want to leave—not just recipes, but memories.
So whether you’re cooking up a feast today or just enjoying a slow, quiet start, I hope your Sunday is filled with good food, good vibes, and the kind of moments that last.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a soup to stir—and maybe a little dancing to do while I’m at it.
"Know what’s enough. Build what matters.”

Why I Don’t Lead with Answers Anymore
I used to think leadership meant having the answer. But over time—through parenting, running a business, and watching one brilliant baseball coach reframe a moment—I’ve come to believe something else: asking the right question might be the most powerful move we can make. This post is about the shift from control to curiosity, and what happens when we lead with belief instead of certainty.
