Me:
– My God & creator, who has blessed me with this life and all its ups and downs to get me to exactly where I am today
– My Proverbs 31 wife of 31+ years, who works part-time and runs her own custom cookie business (https://lnkd.in/ejWS3SGE)
– My special needs son, who is excelling in his job, making his own money, and maturing
– My daughter, who graduated college, got engaged, and just got her first “big girl” job
– My future son-in-law, who worships the ground my daughter walks on, has more guns than me, and can fix anything
– My job, which is not as *sexy* as owning the largest indoor shooting range in Atlanta, but enables me to use my gifts and work with a great and talented small team
– My GSDF brothers, who hold me accountable, run me ragged, and make me a better leader every day
– My dog, Briscoe, who thinks I am much better than I really am
– America’s military, who stand up and say, “Not on my watch!” and put their lives on the line for our nation
– America, the greatest national experiment in history!

What are you thankful for TODAY?

  • Still using Google?!?

    Still using Google?!?

    Other than a specific “Image Search”, I no longer use Google to search for anything. I use Grok. If you’re not familiar with Grok, it’s the artificial intelligence engine produced by xAI, one of Elon Musk’s businesses. Grok is fed real time data via the “firehose” that comes out of X. Why Grok? Why not…

  • Simplify Your A/V

    Simplify Your A/V

    Your conference rooms’ A/V does not have to be complicated. You should not have to “Call IT!!” to come fix your conference room’s A/V system. Ever. So why do we hear over and over and over the following mantra: “Yeah, can y’all come have a look at our conference rooms? Nothing ever works. Completely unreliable.”?…

  • Learning to Rappel

    Learning to Rappel

    More Search & Rescue (aka “SAR”) training this past weekend. This time, it was all about rappelling. For some of you, rappelling might be your weekend go-to hobby. This was my 2nd time. We spend the weekend in north Georgia learning all the basics of rappelling. We learned all the knots: bowline, square knot, figure…

    Where’s Your 3rd Office?

    Where do you work when you’re on the road? Sometimes we work at home. Sometimes we work in the office. But some other times, we get to work from our “third office”! Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? OK, maybe not “exciting”, but it could be, depending on where you go. So, your home office has a…

    Got 47 seconds? Please watch this Gary Vaynerchuk video on Instagram:https://lnkd.in/e7mMuk5S What matters most in the processes deep inside your organization? Speed, efficiency, and effectiveness matter in business. Gary Vaynerchuk suggests that those things occur best in person, in the office, and tells a very familiar story to back it up.

    ATL CRE 2025

    Earlier this week, CBRE announced the complete (CBRE already owned 40%) purchase of Industrious, bringing to light the new business segment within CRE known as “Building Operations & Experience (BOE)”.

    “Full RTO!”

    So, now that we’re 2 weeks in to 2025, who has returned to the office full time? Amazon? Anyone? Beuller? We (TRANSCEND LV) visited a very cool space today, in which the IT staff is preparing for “full RTO”. They’re updating conference rooms from old tech to new, updating WiFi access points, and otherwise preparing…

  • What’s Your Home Office Setup?

    OK, now that Atlanta has recovered from our (first?) snow of the 2025 Winter, let’s talk home office setup. Full disclosure: my home office setup consists of the following items. * Windows laptop* Bluetooth mouse* Levenger Stanley Journal* Sharpie S-Gel pen* WiFi via Amazon Eero / AT&T internet I do my very best to print…

  • No Snow Days

    It’s gonna snow in Atlanta on Friday. Currently, my weather app says 5-6″ of snow from Friday at noon through Saturday morning at about 6AM. We’ll see. I always keep my expectations low, so I don’t get disappointed by just a few flurries. I. Want. Snow! Which brings me to the real point: WFH is…
