I used to think getting a task to excellence was a single handoff — explain it once, hope for the best, and if it didn’t land, chalk it up to poor onboarding. I built my whole approach to delegation on that assumption for years. I was wrong. Excellence happens in stages, not leaps, and skipping…
The surgery to remove my pituitary tumor was a complete success. My neurosurgeon believes he got all of it, even after finding it had spread to unexpected places — and if anything remains, we’d have years to catch it and a precise way to deal with it. But the update I actually want to give…
On August 12th, I had surgery to remove a pituitary tumor. I’m telling you not because I want this space to become about my health, but because for a long time I didn’t develop my own support. I was too busy working to invest in relationships that could carry weight. We’re so used to being…

After 365 days of CHEWing, this is what changed. Not what I learned. What God’s love did in my heart.
The Daily CHEWâ„¢Moving God’s love from head to heart for Christian professionals Here is what I am learning this week. The next obedience in front of me is not my project. It is His. He is the One finishing what He began in me — and the way He is finishing me is through the…
The Daily CHEWâ„¢Moving God’s Love from Head to Heart for Christian Professionals My word for the year was simplify. I lowered client-facing hours. I got back to the gym. I increased family time. I went all-in on helping Christian high performers get the love of God from head to heart. Essentialism and I became close friends again. I was,…
