Life is hard, and we need to be ready for it when it shows up. I believe that a process called pre-hab is one of the keys to handling the hard things life throws at us.

Today, I introduce you to one of my favorite songwriters, Brenton Brown, and I give you some of my favorite books I read in 2022. These are books that I found to be amazingly helpful and powerful, and I think they’ll help you, too. Music by Brenton B...

Sure, Hemingway wrapped his tale in the metaphors of fishing, but the story is about fighting a colossal battle against an almost impossible set of foes and difficult circumstances, believing in himself...
