Plant-Stock 2016

Traveling back home from Plantstock 2016 I had the idea to jot down some thoughts and feelings about the amazing event we had just taken in. A sort of “post Plantstock report”, if you will. I also wanted to give the Esselstyn family a proper thank you for opening up their property to perfect strangers […]

The journey is free, but it’s going to cost you.

     We had been climbing what sometimes felt like a near vertical trek for hours. Our legs were starting to tire, we were thirsty, a little nauseous, and short of breath. We had finally reached the top of Tuckerman’s Ravine and we were standing at the base of the summit cone with less than […]

Ain’t nobody got time for that…

When I was young my mom once told me that if you needed something done to ask the busiest person you know. Of course, I had no clue what that meant but somehow that has stuck in my mind for over 30 years. As I type the first few lines and start to gather thoughts […]

Liabilities and Assets

It’s been a few weeks since I have been able to actually sit down and write.  I have been crazy busy getting ready for this marathon and it has been 100 percent of my focus. I finished the marathon, learned a few lessons, and have a couple stories about it.  I had every intention of writing […]

The wall… Plant-based or not, we all need to hit it.

The other day I was walking down a hallway at work and the stage crew was moving things around in and out of the prop room. In the hallway there was a pretty impressive stone wall that was very realistic and had to be 20 feet long and 7 feet tall. It looked like it […]

Finding Loopholes in a Plant-Based Diet

I’ve been meaning to write about this topic for a while now. I was reminded of it after a conversation with Josh LaJaunie. Josh will never understand how much our conversations and interactions mean to me. For over 3 years I have felt like I have stumbled around to find how my body works on […]

If this doesn’t make you consider a plant-based lifestyle change nothing will.

What started as a place to jot down some thoughts and connect with some people on my Facebook page has turned into a whirlwind of meetings and connecting with people all over the world. Interviews, messages, Skypes, and phone calls are all too surreal. I’m grateful, honored, humbled, and honestly, a little scared out of my […]

There is no “I” in team, maybe there should be.

This is a post I’d rather not write. I am venturing out on very thin ice and I am fully aware of it. Please don’t read parts of this post or you may leave with the wrong idea.  It’s an all or nothing kind of post. I have been connecting with a few people from […]

Stop blaming your doctor and do these 3 things.

  This week I had the privilege of meeting a world-renowned doctor and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Michael Greger. On the return trip home I spent a lot of time thinking about how my view and perspective of doctors had changed over the past couple years. Before I even start writing this post […]
