STRATEGIC SCALE PODCAST

I got back in the lab yesterday after a week in Spain with Mj.

And honestly, I’m energized than I've been in a while.

It was the rest I didn’t know I needed, even though I didn’t technically reset because we were on all day adventures daily and the weather was 90+.

Had all the intentions of worki...

I flew to Spain Wednesday morning with my 12-year-old Mj.

The architecture here is incredible, especially the Moorish stuff.

The Moors were Muslims from northern Africa who conquered and occupied parts of Spain for nearly 800 years.

And they built things like…

Really built things.

Palaces, mosq...

We flew out Tuesday to watch my nephew graduate high school.

AZ is beautiful. It’s something about seeing the mountains from my hotel…

…but the heat will take your breath away (literally lol).

After t...

Wednesday morning I was in the car at 7am heading to RyPie's kindergarten awards Ceremony.

Afterwards, Vanessa wanted Waffle House so we went there, I grabbed a smoothie and we headed back to the school for Royal's 5th grade graduation ceremony at 10:45.

Then at noon I jumped on a live Zoom and de...

It’s crazy how this works.

Sunday, I walked into church expecting a normal service.

Well, kinda normal, because it was family and friends day.

However, what happened, I wasn’t ready for and couldn’t have prepared for.

I left ordained as a minister and installed as the Lead Associate Pastor.

WHA...

Monday morning I woke up and something felt off.

I couldn't pinpoint it, I just felt a heaviness.

Then I looked at the date.

April 27th, which is my mom's birthday.

She passed 14 years ago and grief still finds its way in at times.

Then I found out one of our church members died in a car accide...

I'm recording this talk to text from a lounge chair by the pool.

Vanessa is next to me and the water is the kind of blue you think only exists in screensavers.

We've been here since Monday and don't go back until Saturday.

I want to be honest about something because this newsletter is about docum...

The last few days, I’ve been in a room in Sarasota with some sharp entrepreneurs nerding out on some next-level growth strategies and I booked an early flight home.

Here's why…

This week started Monday with a couple meetings.

Brought on a team to dial in our entire front-end organic engine...

I've been conscious of my pace this week in a way I haven't always been.

Sleeping in on the days my body needs it.

Resting without guilt and not filling every quiet moment with activity just to feel productive.

There's a version of building that comes from rest, and there's a version that comes f...

Today is Good Friday.

And I don't think it's a coincidence that I'm writing this particular newsletter on this particular day.

Because this week, realized something…

A lot has died recently.

The sales team.
The workshop model I was doing.
The identity that was built around proving something inst...

I started Monday differently than most Mondays.

It started as it normally does…

Did morning routine with the fam and took the kids to school.

I came back and spent the first part of the day in God's presence.

Now I usually start the day reading the Word, however, Monday felt a little heavier for...

Two attendees called the Strategic Scale Client-only bootcamp we hosted Friday and Saturday a Business Revival. 

That's the only way I know how to describe it too.

37 registered, 30 showed up, and two full days of deep work with our Advisory Board members that I won't ever forget.

Friday I reve...
