Welcome back to The Ripple Effect Podcast!
I’m so glad you’re here for this solo episode. Think of it like we’re sitting down over coffee, swapping stories about life, relationships, creativity, and yes, even some of the messy stuff we all go through.
This episode will be a Q&A session, where I will answer some questions posed to me by Ripplers. Lately, I’ve been diving into some fantastic books. I’m making my way through Ryan Holiday’s books, and I’ve been taking notes like crazy from Play Bigger. It’s such a powerful read on category design, becoming a market leader, and finding your unique value proposition. On the music side, my heart is full, thanks to Bruce Springsteen’s Lost Tracks Box set (unreleased songs that are pure magic!), and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole with Charlie Parker’s jazz albums. I’ve been loving podcasts like The Tim Ferriss Show, Clear + Vivid by Alan Alda, and Founders.
But this episode isn’t just about books and music. I’ll let you in on my life as a caregiver for my 90-year-old dad, and how I’ve been handling the stress that comes with it. Spoiler: it hasn’t been easy. But leaning into creativity has made all the difference. In particular, journaling, writing on my vintage typewriter, block printing, woodworking, and even baseball card collecting have brought me peace, joy, and a sense of fun.
More than anything, this conversation is about finding ways to build authentic relationships, work through stress as an entrepreneur, and lean on faith when life feels uncertain. It’s about discovering those small things that create positive Ripples for yourself and the people around you.
