Who doesn’t love Starbucks? The coffee, the croissants, the sandwiches, the smell, the atmosphere, the “Cheers” experience you get when you walk in to your local one and Everybody Knows Your Name. But, have you ever thought about what it’s really like? What do the Barista’s see and hear that we don’t? What kind of crazy shit do they have to deal with from behind... Read More »
Getting to this very moment has been an incredibly interesting journey and I can’t even express how ecstatic I am to be writing my very first WIRL! Seeing my vision and dream become an actual “thing” is more motivating and surreal than I ever thought it would be. I can’t wait to share what it was really like to create and build a business and website; I learned so much and ... Read More »
You just won $1 Million! Isn’t that the phrase we’d all like to hear? We watch TV gameshows all the time, but it’s rare to see someone actually take home the megabucks.

My alarm goes off and the sun is barely up. The voice in my head tells me it is OK to hit snooze or turn the alarm off and sleep in today. I tell myself it is not a big deal to push my work out to the evening. But then reality reminds me that if I don’t get out of bed at 6 AM, the day will give me a million reasons to skip my work out by time 6 PM rolls around. I grab my pre-workout on my night st...
