I’m sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I’m feeling especially sentimental and emotional.

Buckle-up my friends…I’m going deep today.

Everywhere you look, people are asking the same question, “What the heck is happening in this crazy world we live in?” Depression and suicide are both on a rise, outrage has replaced reasoned discourse, victimhood is now a virtue, and cynicism in more the norm, instead of the exception.

Many moons ago, when my kids were just about 5, 3, and 1-years old, I shared the story about “18-Summers” and that we only have 18-summers with our kids before they are all grown-up and out of the house. And that time goes by fast so we must maximize EVERY summer while the kiddos are […]

As the Reinvention Series draws to a close, it’s only fitting that it ends on a STRONG note. In many ways, we are always “reinventing.” Sometimes small. Sometimes big.

I love studying great coaches, both past and present. That being said, I’m also aware of the lack of good coaching at various levels, including for our youth. Man, some of the stories I hear still shock me and it’s no wonder why so many young athletes end up hating their sport, or clubs, or […]
I’m writing this email from a place I’ve been writing & thinking about regularly lately…35,000 feet on an airline heading back from the Bahamas.

Is great customer service a dying thing? Like me, have you had any bad customer experiences lately? I know it doesn’t happen at your work or business, but I bet you have experienced some bad service recently at a restaurant, shop, gym, or retail business in the last month alone. Truth be told, creating extraordinary […]
This is one of the more epic podcasts in podcast history.

I met him on a recent flight […]

Is anyone feeling overwhelmed these days? Too busy. Stressed out. Anxious. The holidays. Life. Or all of it.

Let’s face it, feeling overwhelmed […]
We are smack in the middle of the holidays, and the upsurge of “sweets” around the house is in full effect. Can I get an “amen” on this, or is the Durkin household the only one that seems that somehow the holiday “goodies” are already arriving? I’ve been saying for weeks now that this is […]
