🎉 I TURNED 40!

Lots to look back on and be grateful for in my 30s, and thought I’d share…

10 lessons I’m taking with me from my 30s into this next chapter — as a new dad, husband, and business owner.

This decade taught me more than any book, podcast, or program ever could.

Some of it hurt.
Some of it healed.
All of it built me.

So here are the lessons I took away from my 30s:

1. You are in the driver’s seat and have the ability to transform your life literally with one decision in the blink of an eye. Take radical ownership of your body, your business or career, and your boundaries.

2. Don’t get caught up in being busy, thinking you’re making progress.
Never neglect sleep, sunlight, and slow moments to pause…they can sometimes be the best medicine to step out of the constant rat race.

3. “Being fit makes everything easier” — fatherhood, stress, leadership. Strong body = strong brain = strong business and career.

4. You don’t need more time. You need a tighter focus and clear systems.
Block out distractions. Batch deep work. Let go of the “I’ll get to it later” mindset and start today.

5. Protect your peace.
Guard and conserve your energy, not everyone deserves it.

6. Presence > productivity.
Your kids won’t remember how many emails you sent or sales calls you made. They’ll remember if you showed up unconditionally and undistracted and present to be with them.

7. Sugar, screen time, and any dopamine hit are the easiest ways to lose momentum – delay gratification and TURN off your phone if you must

8. Consistency looks like…
One healthy meal, one workout, one honest check-in — repeatedly — this trumps any “all-in” sprint – never lose track or skip a workout twice.

9. Being a great dad starts with you.
Lead yourself so your kids know how to follow.

10. Gratitude is the secret to momentum.
Appreciate what you have because you’ll never know when it’s gone.I’m proud of who I’ve become — and fired up for who I’m becoming.

Here’s to year 40: More growth, Less noise, Deeper love, Stronger purpose.

And raising the little man Ari who gets to see all of it unfold.

👊 Let’s go.

Stay strong,
