What do you wish you could do more every day?
Sing
Draw
Write
Here’s the thing though: I can do those things more, but I choose not to.
Every time i decide to do something else, I am actively choosing not to do them.
Granted, sometimes there are valid reasons – sleep, rent, actual progress on a real goal.
But can we stop pretending that it’s anything other than a choice?
That’s what bugs me.
People say, ‘i wish i had more time’.
You have the time, you just spent it on something else.
They say, ‘i had no choice!’
You did. You just chose the option that felt safe, easy, or comfortable in the moment, and that’s fine.
But understand this:
Every action you take – or don’t – is a choice. And every choice is a tradeoff. Every. Single. One.

Fully owned their own agency?
That’s power.

Who are your favorite people to be around?
My dogs.
Snicker if you want, but they know me better than my closest friends. Little Man is great at nudging me when I need a nap!

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
My favorite pair of shoes was my Doc Martins. Steel toe, real leather, and durable as hell. Those boots carried me through two and a half of years of my college career, several breakups, and were on my feet when i walked in the door at my current company.
Snow? No problem. rain? Bring it on. Walkin all day on city streets or hiking in the woods? Comfort maintained. Versatility to the max!

What do you complain about the most?
I try not to complain too much. Most people have their own shit to worry about, and i have no desire to perpetuate negative energy. I would rather do something to fix the situation.
I mean, some bad days necessitate a little bitch fest, but i see that as emotional regulation. i don’t have any right to bitch for more than a minute or two about something that i’m doing nothing to change or deal with.
That said, a couple of things i do complain about:
- Rude fuckers
- Taxes
- Willful ignorance
-
What makes a good leader?
Effective communication and kindness.

What snack would you eat right now?
A cup of pears…It was yummy! 😝

What relationships have a positive impact on you?
Non-answer answer time!!
I have found over the years that the single, most influential relationship that you will ever have – positive or negative – is with yourself. Every other relationship in your life is built on that foundation.

What are your favorite websites?
I started responding to this, but got interrupted, and couldn’t reign it back in. So, i’ll give you the gist…
i don’t have a favorite. I don’t think of websites in that way. ‘Favorite’ implies positive emotion, and a website’s design does nothing to improve my emotional state.

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
This has certainly changed over the years, but currently? Walking.
Eventually, i want to be able to change that answer to “running”.
Got some work to do still. 😉
