It's Marathon Time.
And the skinny on how I screwed up your books... again 🤭
You can’t make this stuff up.
There’s a tiny, but critical, part in our brain called the “amygdala.”
Here’s what it does:
Emotion
Fear and Aggression
Emotional Memories
…you can imagine what kind of reaction my amygala had upon seeing this:
Getting five huge boxes of books in the mail was like walking into your home on a rainy day and having a big white gift box sitting on the table.
But then you untie the bow, tear off the lid, and find…
Here’s the skinny
Unfortunately, the books were manufactured incorrectly
and that’s why you haven’t received yours yet.
Fortunately, Amazon is replacing all of the copies.
If i’ve learned anything about publishing a book it’s that…
But it’s all part of the process, and I’ve loved every minute of it
As a friend recently reminded me:
Which brings us back to Mr. Amygdala.
This Saturday I will be…
At the onset of pre-sale, I promised you all I would run a Half-marathon.
Welp, we’ve upped it to the full 26.2 miles.
Getting out in the eye-stinging, skin burning, muscle-melting Texas Sun and running 20 miles every week was painful, yes, BUT ALSO..
Or more accurately. Music to my amygdala.
Humans love putting in the work.
We love the journey. We live for the path from A to C, because by the time we get there, we’ve already got eyes to conquer D,E,F and G.

Chasing these carrots have made an otherwise troubling year not just “tolerable,” but
And as we move toward 2021, I’m starting to think about my sights for next year.
It doesn’t matter our station in life, nor our age. We all need a carrot.

FOR SATURDAY’S RUN 🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️
Going to try to go Live on Instagram on the hour (12pm, 1pm, 2pm, etc..)
It might be shaky, and I may be delerious by the end, but I agreed to a “live-stream” as part of the deal… looking forward to it.
And for the Austin people, maybe I’ll see you on the trail around Ladybird Lake on Saturday 😉
I’ve got Corky and Haley on Tshirts— who else wants one?
You’ll all be hearing from me soon! Hoping to get the books out to you for real in the first week of December.
For now,
