Yesterday I was thinking about how hard it must be to say Mass at a young church. If you’re unfamiliar with the format of a Catholic Mass, we have 2 readings, the Gospel, and then the homily. The homily is supposed to explain the…
Ever stumble into entrepreneurship by accident? Dylan Redekop did — and he’s built a business that lets him spend time with his family, stay fit, and still grow his newsletter. We get into freelancing vs. solopreneurship vs. contracting, why balance matters more than hustle,…
I love my desk and office setup, but I noticed a strange problem happening over the last few months. It seems like every few weeks, I have less headroom — the space above my head in the camera frame. I figured this was just…
Ever feel like your business eats up every free moment? The truth is, you don’t need Taylor Swift-level fame or Hormozi-style hype to succeed. What you actually need is space—room to create, promote, and step away without guilt. That’s why I use the GAPS…

What happens when you’re a dad of 3, working a full-time job, and still running not one but two side hustles? That’s the question I put to my friend Matt Medeiros — fellow podcaster, WordPress veteran, and all-around content machine. We talk honestly about…
I’ve been testing Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude to see which one actually helps me. Claude felt forgetful, so I dropped it. ChatGPT is still great at structured stuff, like rewriting transcripts. But for things I didn’t know how to start—like turning an outline into…
When I tried Arc by The Browser Company, it was a revelation. I loved the sidebar with the tabs, pinned tabs, Profiles, Spaces, and Air Traffic Control — a way to route links to specific Spaces. The fact that I can automatically sequester types…
