I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
“Now I'm headed home, my dearAnd I brought a poem to shareAnd here's what it saidLove is a candlewick in rainAfter the storm, we're still aflame, ohI lied, love has been called a losin' gameBut the more that I love, the more I gain” -J. Cole, Ocean Way Ok, the last J. Cole quote for a while. “The more that I love, the more I gain” is the important takeaway from this one. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC

Sometimes the first step of moving towards your Authentic Life is accepting where you are—your starting line. You can keep your Self stuck, playing the victim, wishing for different circumstances, or creating excuses about why you can’t move towards your Authentic Life. But the truth is, you start where you are—it’s the only place you can start. Some people have better starting lines, at least as it appears to us in the external world, but we don’t know what’s going on internally. Judging...
“Define success on your terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.” -Anne Sweeney See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
Well, it's been a minute...I know. The last month of summer was extremely busy with a couple of trips to South Carolina for AAU, our family trip to New Buffalo, Michigan, and then getting ready for back to school--Indiana loves to start school early, and our boys started on the 5th. I didn't forget about the Weekly Note during July, but I did prioritize other areas of life for the month--I chose late-night swims, long days of driving after a morning game, and morning walks. I hope you don't...
“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” -William Wallace (quote from Braveheart—not proven he really said it). You may have also heard Drake say something similar in the song Moment 4 Life, “Everybody dies, but not everyone lives.” Two different mediums—one movie, one song. Two different time periods—one a long, long time ago, one modern. Same important message. Just because you are alive today doesn’t mean you are actually living life. Don’t waste this awesome gift you’ve been given...
“When you desire something, it isn’t primarily about the thing itself; it is about the state of being that you imagine will come with it – a state of fulfillment, contentment, presence, calm.” -Ben Katt If the something is aligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience those states of being and more. If the something is misaligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience disappointment, frustration, and discontentment that you didn’t receive what you had hoped for, Most people...
I met with a client I’ve been working with for almost a year, and we reflected on the success we've both been having. I reminded him that I came into 2026 saying (and believing) that anyone close to me was going to have a great year—I came into the year riding a powerful wave, and I felt that anyone on that wave with me was going to have a great year too. And this has been true—not just him, but the other clients I’ve been coaching, my closest friends, even clients I’ve been working with for...
“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” -Joseph Campbell See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
Depending on what social media platforms you follow me on, you might not know that I have hosted three conversations at our house with Roman and Leo’s friends. I wrote about how the series of talks came to be over in the Omens (my version of the blogs we grew up with), so I’ll save that explanation and get right to the first three talks. While the audience for these is teenage athletes, the reality is the message applies to everyone. I’ve told them I’m pulling them in to help them with their...
