Douglas Adams has my favorite bit of all time. In the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy they create a super advanced computer to figure out the answer to everything…and it gives a very definitive answer. Which you’re not going to like (the same warning the computer gives). 42! Now everyone realizes they need the right
Read MoreWhat do Dan Sullivan, Captain America, and 2024 Jordan Ostroff have in common? They all understand the power of reflecting on past achievements to fuel future success. As we approach the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time to celebrate how far we’ve come and not just set our sights on the adventures ahead and
Read MoreOn Saturday I went to see BareNaked Ladies (the band…not anything else) at Universal Studios. We were coming back from Legoland for my son’s 6th Birthday…and it just worked out where I dropped myself off (less than one week early) as my wife finished the drive to our house and between no babysitter and a
Read MoreI don’t work Tuesday or Friday unless it’s a holiday that prevented me from working M/W/Th or I want to work some extra time for a specific purpose (let’s be real, I never want to do that unless it’s a speaking engagement, fun networking event, or I am onboarding a new team member and need
Read MoreHappy Independence Day! While we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish, it’s a perfect time to reflect on what freedom means for us as law firm owners. And luckily we don’t even have to worry about joining in the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind and fight off

Just like Tony Stark’s journey from self-centered genius to a team-focused hero, our firms can evolve to reflect our highest principles and aspirations. Personal Core Values to
Read MoreAs you may or may not know, I used to work at a flower store in high school. No, I did not make arrangements professionally, I loaded/unloaded the trucks, cut the flowers, and put them into buckets for us to sell them. It was a very fun job considering most of us were 16-25 and
Read MoreDid you ever watch “Transformers”? Statistically not the last several…and I don’t blame you. But the original one has two of my favorite scenes… 1) the first time you hear Optimus Prime’s voice and he transforms, and 2) the funny scene when everything turns into a robot and the coffee machine and such start attacking
Read MoreWhat do the Avengers, the Jedi Council, and the San Antonio Spurs have in common? I hope by now you are aware of the first two (even just from my newsletters). But I will forgive you if you missed the Spurs and Gregg Popovich as I don’t think I have ever referenced them (and I
Read MoreWhat do Star Wars’ infamous “Death Star planning meeting,” the Challenger space shuttle disaster, and a poorly managed law firm have in common? The Challenger disaster in 1986 is extra sad in hindsight, because many engineers had concerns about the O-rings in different weather conditions prior to launch but were silenced by the pressure to

I love being invited to events— especially when it involves the chance to help more people run a business they can be proud of while living a life that’s even better. Whether it’s your awesome podcast or the conference of the year, let’s chat about how I can help make it that much better.
Being Green.
And it’s not easy to build a successful business while maintaining a sense of control over your life, either. That’s why I’m here, to help you create the kind of life you will love to live. Yep, you can have your cake and eat it too. Who would want a cake they can’t eat? (even if I am more of a cookie/brownie type guy).
