Are you curious what the PnL for a specific industry looks like?
Did you know you can find one (for free) for just about any service based business? And the operational playbook as well.

I am getting to the point where I just want to deal with authentic people.
On the way to my oldest soccer game and I tell him his jersey is so dirty.
He responds, “That’s because I play hard!” In the most serious tone.
Valid point. 😅 I guess I can’t be mad.
Disagree. Just takes a little more time to comfortable & confident enough in your shoes to still be able to have those deep conversations while sober.
Either way, no judgement at all.
I just know it’s possible but it takes a little while on the sober journey. ♥️
I know it’s not cool to drink anymore, but hear me out.
Last night me and two friends (54 and 79) stayed up late yapping about life, love, and heartache in a way that’s just harder to do sober.
Impossible? Of course not.
But sharing a drink is an immediate sign you’re letting your guard down, an invitation to a deeper conversation - especially for guys who often shy away from sensitive topics.
Are there downsides? Of course, and I felt it this morning and all day.
But I wouldn’t trade those late night, uninhibited convos for anything.
Can’t stop keep reliving how good that Oregon game was last night. I can’t get over it. Go Ducks 💛💚 🫶
There may be a million and one things to do in NYC but grabbing a bagel from my favorite bakery and getting lost in Central Park will always be my favorite.

When assets are expensive, create assets!
That’s what it SHOULD be, but in reality, it’s not what seller expectations are today.
Assuming everything is middle of road and standard, here are the multiples I see….
<$500k — 5-6x
$500-1m — 5-7.5x
$1-2m — 6-10x
$2-4m — 7.5-11x
$4-10m — 12-15x
$10m+ — pointless
None of those multiples make sense.

Got an Instacart delivery of about $200 in groceries about an hour ago.
It’s late, I’m tired and ready to call it a day so I went downstairs to help the driver bring them in.
It was an early 30-something Mom, with her 7ish year old son springing around the driveway and a teeny weeny baby sleeping in the backseat.
Really, really tough to see.
I can’t imagine what she went through shopping for all those groceries with those two kids with her.
Broke my heart in a number of ways.
It was also a powerful reminder.
No matter what you’re going through, there’s always someone fighting a much tougher battle.
G’night.
Going to a gym in SoCal is the most humbling experience.
I mean an 80yr old lady was doing pull-ups next to me this morning.
Grand finale of fireworks and a group of people were walking away from it (Why would you miss the best part?!?)
Then the gf turns to her friend and ask for a picture, grabs her bf for a kissing photo with the fireworks in the background.
Kisses her bf and immediately grabs the phone to see how the photo turned out.
Ask for a redo.
Kisses the bf again, doesn’t even look at him again and just reaches for the phone to approve of the photo after.
I pray this kind of love Never finds my 4 sons.
Kissing just for likes on social media like the person you’re with is just a prop is so cringe. Broke my heart a little to witness that.
It’s so sad when social media is the true love; prioritizing everyone liking you vs one person loving you.
Spent so many years disliking MA, happy to report I’m finally seeing the appeal. Only took 6 years 🙃
Happy 4th!
Martha’s Vineyard is a summers dream.
The type of Saturdays that remind you of all you have to be thankful for 💕
Kids playing 💕
Sunshine ☀️
Chickens running around
Basket full of fresh eggs 🥚
Saw a guy driving a massive semi truck with cars behind him come to an immediate stop.
Hop down from the truck, onto the road to remove a baby turtle from the road and place it in the water near by.
Faith in humanity is restored.
