All we ever have in life is the breath we breathe. There is nothing more beautiful and sacred than getting to live the human experience, through all the highs and the lows.

To sacrifice one’s life truly is the ultimate sacrifice. A sacrifice that I would never myself want to make, yet so many continue to do, so that I can live my life with freedoms most will never have.

Grateful today for those who allow us to have the life we so often take for granted today. We all benefit from the price paid by generations of soldiers, leaders, and brave Americans. Thank you 🙏🇺🇸🌎

I have a secret to share

After your first $2–$3 million, a paid off home and a good car, there is no difference in quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos. Both of you have limited amount of time on earth; you have twice if not more than Jeff, so you are richer than him. A cheeseburger is a cheeseburger whether a billionaire eats or you do.

Money is nothing but a piece of paper or a number in your app. Real life is outdoors.

Become financially independent; that’s usually 2–3mil. Have good food. Enjoy the relations. Workout. Sleep well. Call your parents. That’s all there is to life. Greed has no end.

Repeat after me: Time is the currency of life. Money is not.

Sooner you figure this out, happier you will be.

As a broadcast journalism major who aspired to be a sports broadcaster, memorializing the 2012 Stanley Cup calls of @LAKings Hall of Fame announcers Bob Miller and Nick Nickson will always be a highlight in my career. These are the stories I love telling.

@aspirefiber any update on why our internet is down?

The older you get, the more you realize luck is just exposure.

If you sit in the same chair, same routine, talking to same people… nothing new happens.

You have to touch the world to win.

• Talk to strangers
• try a new coffee spot
• post on social
• Start a side hustle

The world rewards motion.

You don’t find opportunity sitting still.

You bump into it.

My wife: "I'm hungry. Where should we eat?"
Me: "You pick."
Her: "No, you pick. I'm fine with anything."
Me: "Okay, how about Tacos?"
Her: "No, we had Mexican last week."
Me: "Okay, Pizza?"
Her: "Too many carbs."
Me: "Sushi?"
Her: "I don't feel like fish."
Me: "Okay... what about the Steakhouse?"
Her: "Too expensive."
Me: "So... you're not fine with anything?"
Her: "Why are you yelling at me? I'm just hungry!"
We ate cereal in silence.

One of the greatest cheat codes in life is to never get offended. Train yourself to have a thick skin. Don't take things personally. Let others disagree with you. Being easily offended means you're easily manipulated. Want more peace? Avoid getting offended.

Wild if this is all factually correct.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.
