I took Melissa away for Valentine’s Day this past weekend. Nothing crazy. We just went to Maryland for a couple of days. I gotta tell you though, it was awesome. No screaming kids. No laundry. No Facebook or e-mail. Just us for a couple of days. In fact. It was so great we decided that […]

I’m usually a pretty social dude. When it comes to shoveling snow though, I’m a different animal. While the neighbors like to gather around and talk about how the recent snow fall compares to the Blizzard of 66, I like to just put my earbuds in and get to work. With four hours of shoveling […]

At TBBC, we’re always talking about fitness and nutrition goals. While those are our specialization, there are other areas of life we simply can’t ignore.

So as you probably know, I’m a self-development jumkie. I was recently listening to a podcast interview with leadership legend John Maxwell. John has a new book out (I think it’s like his 800th) about intentional living. He talks about 3 types of people. As I describe the 3 types, think about what type you […]

How could Mr. Unhappy have relatively good circumstances but always be miserable? He blames his parents or teachers for his unhappiness even into his forties or fifties. Then you have Mr. Joyful who lost his whole family from some horrific tragedy but manages to piece things together and find joy. What is happiness? Let me […]

I know I should be more positive right? But it’s reality. Most New Year’s Resolutions fail. And fail pretty quickly. That’s why the big gyms do over 25% of their revenue in January alone. But once February comes it’s back to normal. Only the people that realize it’s not a quick fix are there. Why […]

This Friday December 11th, my friend and UFC standout welterweight Ryan Laflare is fighting Mike Pierce on the UFC Fighter 22 Finale card. Ryan is one of the best fighters in the world. This is an especially important bout because he was 4-0 in the UFC before losing to his last opponent, BJJ (Braziian Jiu-jitsu) […]
