Hey There, I’m Jim—a husband, dad, former contractor, and high school teacher who’s learned a lot through life’s ups and downs. After multiple careers, a major health transformation, and rediscovering what purpose truly means, I launched this channel to share the lessons that helped me thrive—and that can help you too!
Here, we talk mindset, discipline, confidence, peace, purpose, and personal growth—especially for those of us navigating midlife and asking, “What now?”
If you’re ready to stop coasting and start thriving—this is your place. No fluff, no hype. Just real talk, honest stories, and practical wisdom to help you become the best version of yourself.
Join me as we dive deeper into LIFE!!

Hey Friends,
I'm back after 2 weeks in the Last Frontier. It's bittersweet to say the least. I discovered, first hand, what I had heard...that getting out in nature can reset your soul. I'm here to tell you, that is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
My latest video: OUT TODAY talks about my "reset" and how YOU can find your own reset button without having to travel to Alaska. I'd love it if you'd give it a watch and let me know your thoughts.

Hello Friends,
Summer vacation in full swing. On our 30th Anniversary trip to Alaska. Hoping to capture some of the beauty of this place (pics don’t do it justice) to share with you.
Who recognizes the first pic? Taken at 49th State Brewing in Healy, AK
Have a great week my friends!!

A Minute to Win it starts today.
On Tuesdays, I’m going post a one minute(ish) thought. I have a lot of of these rolling around in my head and I’ve decided that instead instead of just letting them come and go, I’m going to capture them.
They’ll be brief, to the point, and hopefully resonate with some of y’all.
Tuesdays at noon.
I’d love your feedback.

The wife and I went out for a nice hike on Sunday. I’m incredibly grateful to be married to my best friend and have the ability to get out and move. To stiff arm father time for as long as I can.
Another day, counting my blessings. What is something you’re blessed with?
