The Joys and Burdens of Door-to-Door Sales

I had a few interviews with different companies but ultimately took a position with Sunrun, the nation’s leading residential solar company. Sunrun in California …

My 75 Hard Journey Has Come To An End

Eighty-one days ago, on March 2nd, I started my 75 Hard Journey. Today it is coming to an end. Officially, I did not complete the challenge.

75 Hard – Four Week Update

After completing my tasks yesterday, I have officially completed four weeks, 37% of 75 Hard. It is surreal that I’m this far into it, but I’m also still disappointed I had to restart in the first place. I would be 45 days in had I not slipped up last month. BUT it’s okay. I’m still …

75 Hard – Sleep & Recovery

So I wear a Whoop band to track sleep, exercise, and recovery daily. The strap is your digital fitness and health coach. In my opinion, it is the best wearable health technology on the market. It is obtuse or obstructive, and the data it gives you can be life-changing. The four main metrics it tracks daily are …
