I’ve lived in San Antonio most of my life. I’ve spent that whole time building in tech here, and Geekdom was always the spot. Not one of several. The spot. I kept an office there because I wanted to be part of building something. The desk was never the point. I wanted to be in…
For my entire career, I’ve been told the same thing in slightly different words: pick a lane. Be the SEO guy. Be the PPC guy. Be the web guy. Niche down. Specialize. Build a moat around one skill and charge for that one skill forever. Every agency I ever looked at was built that way…
Most personal finance advice is written for people counting every dollar. That’s not my situation, and if you’re running an agency with a family to support, it’s probably not yours either. I’m an agency owner. I live outside San Antonio with my wife and two kids. We have a mortgage, two car payments, and all…
I bought the Whoop because I wanted to get serious about my health. Not training for a marathon, not optimizing my VO2 max. Just genuinely understanding how my body was holding up while running a few businesses and trying not to burn out. Sounds reasonable. It was not the right tool for the job. Two…
I do a version of these annual reviews each year: 2025 was a year of hard pivots. I killed some businesses. I rebuilt others. If there’s a theme to this year, it’s knowing when to walk away and when to double down. Business Let’s start on the professional side. It’s what most want to read…
I’ve always been interested in tracking my health. For years, I used the Gyroscope app along with Fitbits and other fitness trackers. That all changed when my Apple Watch Series 2 unexpectedly died and I haven’t used anything since. Now I’m back into fitness and body tracking, partly because the health and longevity space is…
I do a version of these annual reviews each year: I am going to change my template a bit from previous years, partially to break from that template and share my thoughts without the template boxing me in. My previous statements still stand. I don’t want to set resolutions or make new changes; I want…
I went to Austin for the Formula 1 racing at the Austin Grand Prix. It was one of my first races, at least one that I remember, don’t think I ever did any as a kid. The event was a blast, since it was not only a regular race weekend but also a Sprint weekend….
This was my first CaboPress, my first time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and my first business conference since COVID. And honestly, it may have set the bar too high for any future conferences. CaboPress is anything but a typical conference. There are no convention halls, no windowless rooms, and no crowds of people wandering…
At the start of 2024, I was invited to be a mentor within the Geekdom Mentor network. What is Geekdom? Geekdom is a community-driven coworking space that empowers entrepreneurs through collaboration and community. They offer programs like Startup Bootcamp, helping people turn ideas into businesses with support from mentors, workshops, and other programming. It’s a…
