Planting Season: A season all about timing. Doing things at the right time. You have situations where you may feel like it's not the time to take action. You need to plant your seed, gain a skill, read a book, have a conversation, and pray about it. Delayed gratification is the name of the season. You’re not seeing results because the roots are too deep. Creating a strong foundation. (ATD)

Challenging Conventional Masculinity

The societal mold that men must be emotionless 'rocks' hit me hard after -military service. Especially while wrestling with PTSD. Facing a critical junction, I chose to seek a new path forward, exploring:

Prayer,
Reading,
Journaling,
Meditating,

These practices allowed me to voice my emotions, and start healing. A journey that led me to redefine masculinity.

Embracing both nurturing and problem-solving. Like the patience of a farmer and the creativity of an engineer. Learn how to remove chaos and create a transformative vision.

Seasons of Success: Adapting and Thriving

My diverse career path, includes personal training, barber, real estate, and business analyst.

Teaching me the vital importance of moving with life's natural rhythms. Autonomy came by aligning with the seasonal cycles. Unique to each profession, illustrating the effort.

Investing today can produce fruit tomorrow.

After a quick strategy session with Brand Marz he took my concept and made it into a post that was spot on.

As a multidisciplinary creator, you must recognize seasons.
• Fitness training for summer
• Home buying before school season
• Farmers planting seeds or reaping harvest
Pay attention to cycles and timing for when to cultivate skills or leverage them.
No need to hustle 365.
