Back of the Pack

I recently had the opportunity to play hooky from FluidStance. I tagged along on my youngest son’s journey to the Jersey Mike’s Junior Lifeguard National Championships. It is essentially a day-long decathlon of beach challenges for junior lifeguards who have been training, ok playing, on the beach over the summer. Historically, Henry (aka “Henners,” age 9) is competitive in our...

Sleepwalking with a Wearable

I am a data nerd. Or at least a gear junkie for things that feed data. Or maybe I am just self-centered because I want more info about me. Regardless if it is self-centered or whole-centered, the insight-driven wearable revolution has opened a new dimension of self discovery. I was first “tagged” by @thelabSB with a Whoop to aid in...

Life as a Powerboat or Sailboat?

A business coach once asked me if “I was building FluidStance as a powerboat or sailboat?” He went on to explain a powerboat can go fast, but you need to be able to pour-in ongoing fuel throughout the journey.

My Boys Can Swim: A Father’s Day Reflection on Balance

I have launched two companies in my adulthood adventures, one pre-fatherhood and one post. While both companies were started from scratch, the decision to “go or no-go” were two drastically different considerations. As a father, there were little footsteps in the company’s vision that were only going to get bigger. These footsteps created doubt like I had never experienced. Previously,...

The VS. Series: Expectations vs. Intentions

Having expectations is essential to success. It allows you to walk into the “proverbial room” standing a little taller knowing you are already where you need to be. I have seen it countless times as an athlete and businessperson. There is something to be said about the swagger that gives you an edge before you start. Steve Jobs knew his technology...
