Digital Freedom Isn’t a Trend. It’s a Line in the Sand

Posted on May 19, 2026April 27, 2026 By UPL Admin

There was a time when digital freedom felt like a movement. A phase. Something discussed in forums, debated on X, or championed by a handful of early adopters who saw what was coming before the rest of the world cared to look. But today, we see that Digital Freedom Isn’t…

Building Again: Why Starting Over Is a Power Move

Posted on May 12, 2026April 27, 2026 By UPL Admin

Starting over has a way of exposing you. But what if you looked at it differently, and recognized why starting over is a power move? You go from being the person with answers to the one asking questions again. From moving fast with confidence to slowing down just to understand…

Finding Resilience: A Personal Journey

Posted on May 8, 2026May 8, 2026 By UPL Admin

In May of 2025, Brandi and I were in Fiji celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Twenty five years has a way of making you look at life differently. You start thinking less about noise and more about direction. Less about titles and more about peace. Less about what something used…

Indirect Power: The People We Let Control Us Without Permission

Posted on May 5, 2026April 27, 2026 By UPL Admin

It doesn’t happen loudly. No announcement. No agreement. No moment where you consciously hand over control. It happens quietly, over time. A comment here. A reaction there. A look, a tone, a shift in energy. This is the effect of Indirect Power and the people we let control us without…

I’m a work in progress, constantly learning from the path behind me while keeping an open heart for what’s ahead. Life rarely goes as planned—but that’s where the best parts happen.

If you have a bucket list, now is the time to check things off. You never know what tomorrow will bring. If you have ANY interest, or even considered reach out. You`ll have the best time of your life.

Stay Weird. It`s kind of a hipster vibe. Lots of new-age, white guys with man buns in Hawaiian shirts. J/K lots of middle aged white guys with their kids. Good times will be had by all... And Al. See what I did there 😎

Kind of a daddy daughter day. She wanted to race go karts. Did a really good job of blocking a middle aged white guy for most of the 2nd race. He was ticked. Then we had to go help a friend out and redo a horrible Spectrum install. Good help is hard to find. The tech did a really, really bad job. Then saw a double rainbow and took Emme, Oliver, Brandi, and Emme`s friend Kinsley out to dinner. Make every day and every moment count. 😎

Had to make a quick trip to Arkansas to take the side-by-side and bring the rhino back to Texas. Time to get the rhino ready for the desert. The tire tread looked a little weird. Thank you Discount Tire for a quick repair. Emme was my co-pilot for this adventure. She`s now 13. Where did time go?
