Greetings. There are 36 days left in the year. And I’m grateful for every one of them. This past year can only be described as an embarrassment of riches. Not merely in the financial sense, though that matters, but across the fuller landscape of life — spiritually, physically, relationally, all the ways. In fact, I do not believe I have ever felt more grateful. For the opportunities, the growth, the hard lessons, the quiet mercies, and yes, for this early-stage community that has gathered around a shared desire to live more intentionally in the areas of happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise. No one asked for these posts. I realize that. And yet, in the discipline of crafting them — whether for a missive, sermon, a lesson, a confession — I’ve found something unexpectedly grounding: the necessity to slow down, to concentrate, and to clarify what I truly believe. It has reminded me, repeatedly, that living for others and living with gratitude are not sentimental ideas. They are practical disciplines. And in my experience, they are among life’s most reliable pathways to deep satisfaction and lasting happiness. I cannot fully explain why. I just know that they work. There is also a third practice that has become increasingly clear: intentionality with time. Whether the pursuit is spiritual depth, physical health, financial stewardship, or personal wisdom, growth requires attention and deliberate effort. There is always room to grow. Always more to learn. As I approach my 58th year, one truth feels especially clear: the more I live, the more I realize how much I still do not know. And instead of discouraging me, that realization humbles and motivates me. So thank you. Sincerely. Whether you’ve quietly observed from afar or walked closely in the arena of daily engagement, I am grateful for your presence and your trust. Your participation matters more than you likely realize. My hope is simple: that the year ahead is even more faithful, more grounded, and more aligned with what matters most.

Good evening. It’s Sunday, August 17th, 2025. People often use rich and wealthy interchangeably. But they’re not the same thing. Both have one thing in common: 💰 Yet being rich merely means you have money. Being wealthy means money is just one slice of a much larger, more meaningful pie. True wealth includes: • 💪 Health (because what good is money in a hospital bed?) • ⏱️ Time (money without freedom is still a prison) • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family (and relationships that actually thrive, not just exist) • 💰 Financial resources (yes…but after the essentials above are in place) As the old saying goes: Some people are so poor…all they have is money. That’s not millionaireME. MillionaireME is about building a life portfolio, not just a financial one. Here are 10 ways you can start fortifying true wealth today (listed in the correct order of importance, with money intentionally last): 1. Prioritize your health – move daily, nourish your body, and sleep like it matters (because it does). 2. Guard your time – set boundaries, eliminate distractions, and invest your hours intentionally. 3. Strengthen your family bonds – schedule date nights, call your parents, play with your kids, forgive quickly. 4. Deepen key relationships – surround yourself with iron-sharpening friends who call you higher. 5. Nurture your faith and inner life – spend time in scripture, prayer, reflection. 6. Pursue lifelong learning – read, ask questions, stay curious. 7. Serve others – generosity is not something you wait to do after you have money. Start now. 8. Cultivate gratitude – wealth amplifies whatever is already in your heart. Train that muscle daily. 9. Live with purpose – get clear on your “why” so you don’t climb the wrong mountain. 10. Manage your resources wisely – eliminate debt, build margin, automate savings and invest consistently. ⸻ Want to live wealthy—not just rich?

Good evening. It’s Thursday, July 31st, 2025. Meet Fiona-something-or-other-with-a-beautiful-but-impossible-to-spell-Italian-last-name. She’s 12. She’s starting a business. And today, she showed up at our front door completely alone to sell homemade chocolate chip cookies. No parent. No sibling. No friend lurking at the curb. Just a dozen ounces of courage wrapped in a Ziploc bag and a brave smile. She was nervous. You could see it. And how could she not be? Most adults wouldn’t dare cold-call a stranger’s house. But there she was, doing it anyway. Now, being a girl dad—with two entrepreneurial daughters who launched their own cupcake business years ago—I wasn’t just buying cookies. I was watching history repeat in the most beautiful way. 😊 So, of course I bought the cookies! As a tip of sorts, I also offered Fiona three suggestions, which she gladly accepted: 1. Don’t be nervous. You have every reason to be proud. You’re doing something 99.9% of your peers wouldn’t dare to. You’re already winning. 2. Don’t let anyone talk you down on price. $5 for five hand-delivered, homemade cookies is a steal. If someone tries to haggle, they’re not your customer. Smile and move on. You’ll find your people. 3. (The one I thought of after she left): Give buyers a way to buy again. A card. A QR code. A sticky note with a name and number. Return customers are how businesses are built. And guess what? She was already smart enough to accept Venmo. (No cash? No problem. We Venmo’d her mom.) As we closed the door, we both said the same thing: “We’re so proud of her—and our girls at that age too.” Here’s the truth, friends: If you want to raise capable, confident, successful kids, encourage them to start something. Anything. A business. A service. A hustle. It teaches initiative, courage, pricing, rejection, confidence, and follow-through—all in one cookie bag. And if someone like Fiona knocks on your door? Buy the cookies. 🍪 And if you’re part of the millionaireME community—tell them: “You’re doing amazing. Keep going.”

Good morning. I’m here in Seattle today, on wedding day. A celebration of two lives, two hearts, fully committing to one another. And I can’t help but think about something actress Margot Robbie once said when asked about the secret to her success: “You have to fully commit to it.” Whether it was a nude scene, a dance scene, or a heavy dialogue moment—what separated good from great, she said, was full commitment. And isn’t that true for everything? You can’t expect an award-winning performance—in health, wealth, relationships, or anything else—if you’re only halfway in. You don’t build a lasting marriage with one foot out the door. You don’t build a thriving body by kinda-sorta eating well. You don’t build wealth by investing sporadically and hoping for the best. You fully commit. Then, as Tony Horton used to say: Do your best—and forget the rest. So what does full commitment look like in the millionaireME life? ✅ Showing up to every workout like it matters. ✅ Saving like your future depends on it—because it does. ✅ Turning off distractions and being fully present in your relationships. ✅ Giving your best to every task in front of you—big or small. ✅ Making your daily decisions align with your deepest goals. Today, messages will be delivered from the altar—about love, loyalty, and lifelong vows. But here’s the part we often forget: Every day is an altar. Every task is an opportunity. Every relationship, a sacred trust. Every workout, a vote for your future self. Every dollar spent or saved, a declaration of values. What would your life look like if you fully committed to it? Not perfection. Not hustle for hustle’s sake. But purposeful commitment to what truly matters. Let’s do our best. Let’s commit fully. And then? Let’s forget the rest. ⸻ 📢 What’s one area where you’re ready to commit more fully—starting today?

Good morning. It’s Friday, June 20th, 2025. Can you believe it? We’re just 10 days away from the halfway point of 2025. The second quarter is nearly over. And that means now is the perfect time to ask: 👉 Are you on track? 👉 Are you where you thought you’d be back on January 1? 👉 Are you ahead of schedule? 👉 Or… are you feeling a bit behind? Whether you’re crushing your goals or catching your breath, this is a no-shame, all-game check-in. ⏳ The clock is ticking. But the beauty of life—and especially of habits—is that course correction is always available. So here are: ⸻ ✅ 10 Ways to Get Back on Track (Fitness + Finance) 1. Revisit Your Why. Reconnect with the reason behind your health and wealth goals. Purpose fuels persistence. 2. Audit Your Daily Routine. What’s one thing you’re doing daily that helps—or hurts—your goals? Track it for 3 days. 3. Reset Your Budget. Inflation, summer travel, surprise expenses? Time to realign the numbers with the mission. 4. Recommit to Movement. Doesn’t have to be perfect. Just start walking. Or lifting. Or stretching. Progress over perfection. 5. Automate a Win. Set up an auto-transfer to your savings or investment account. It’s like tipping your future self. 6. Eliminate 1 Unhealthy Habit. Sugary drinks? Late-night scrolling? Overspending on Amazon? Choose one to nix this week. 7. Meal Prep + Money Prep. Plan your meals and your spending. Both fuel the future. Both save energy later. 8. Book a Wellness Appointment. Physical? Therapy? Financial advisor? Don’t just DIY everything. Check in with a pro. 9. Join a Challenge or Group. Accountability is a superpower. Whether it’s a gym buddy or a budget buddy—get one. 10. Forgive Yourself + Forward March. No guilt. No shame. Only course correction. Because today is the best day to start again. ⸻ 🏁 Let’s finish this first half strong. 🛩️ Let’s fly into the second half aligned, energized, and focused. Drop a 🚀 if you’re recommitting today.
