It’s been a while…

I’ve basically gone through an entire year of business school without a single post – and for good reason. Over the last ten or so months, I experienced multiple shifts in my perception of the world. In addition to those shifts, I’ve experienced a lot of changes in my life that frankly put me in […]

My Tribe: Helping Me Become My Best Self

Over the course of the last year, one of the topics that my mind has been fixated on is the critical factor that shapes whether I reach a goal. I’ve read books such as Angela Duckworth’s Grit and Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers and even the host of John C. Maxwell books (too many to name). I completely agree with much […]

“Premium” Water

Water is one of the most precious resources on Earth and every living thing depends on it. Yet, for so many across the globe it’s either unavailable or unclean. In the US, particularly, there have been several instances of contaminated water supplies that have gone unnoticed or purposefully neglected. Majority of the areas where this […]

Halftime Report: #TrustTheProcess

Okay, so I’m about five solid months into the MLT program and I have been completing the requisite assignments while managing a hectic work schedule, travel, community service commitments, and GMAT studying. Let’s just say that over this timeframe I’ve been overwhelmed!

Dope Experiences: My first Spartan Competition

Last weekend I competed in my first Spartan Competition – probably the most challenging physical experience that I have done thus far in adulthood. Going into the race, I started having doubts, one being the fact that I had not lifted in the prior month and a half. The second reason was related to self-doubt […]

10 Major Keys From the MLT Kickoff Seminar

Let me first start out by saying that the last 30 days of my life have been nothing short of transformational. Everything from cranking out 75 miles of running in March to increasing my GMAT score 50+ points. Part of this is due to a statement from my MLT Coach, Jackson, who said at […]

How I traveled to Brazil for 4 days for under $500

BRAZIL 2016 – IT’S ALL GOOD Alright, it’s pretty obvious but I love to travel. So when 3-day holiday weekends pop-up on the work calendar, I try to get a new destination on the books. This past MLK weekend, I decided to trek down to Brazil (both Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro) for some […]

My Quarter-Life Crises and How I Made It

Within my first six months after turning 25, I fell into the typical quarter-life crises. Honestly, I’ve had many successes that I am very proud of but I’ve also faced some serious failures up to the age of 25. These things had forced me to come to some hard cut realizations about who I was […]

Gotta Stay Ready

26 was a big deal for me. It really marks crossing over into a new segmentation of adulthood. So on my 26th birthday I took a random trip to Costa Rica to 1) reflect on the last 25 years of my life to set goals going forward and 2) do something adventurous. While I was […]

What I read – Nov 15′

During November, in honor of getting past my quarter life crises and turning 26, I read 3 books as part of a series on relationship building. I would be telling a bald-faced lie if I said that these books were life changing – so I won’t. Instead I’ll just express some key takeaways from each.
