1/9/ How I Level Up Every Year
Every December, I take a step back and dedicate time to learning and growing. For me, this has become a tradition. It’s the perfect time to reflect, pick something I want to get better at, and dive deep. Whether it’s technology, business, self-help, or even

1/16/ The Art of Intervention
Knowing when to intervene is one of life’s toughest lessons. The older I get, the more I see situations where I know exactly what’s going to happen before it unfolds. It might be something small, like a kid trying something you know is a bad idea (like sticking

1/13/ Technology Isn’t the Enemy
AI. Cryptocurrency. Big Tech. Depending on who you talk to, these things are either the tools of a brighter future or signs of an impending disaster. But here’s the truth: technology isn’t the enemy. It’s a dual-edged sword. What matters is how we choose to

1/13/ Luck vs. Being Lucky
I’ve been thinking a lot about luck lately. Whether we like it or not, luck plays a big role in all our lives. It’s everywhere—sometimes it’s obvious, like hitting the lottery or landing a dream job out of nowhere. Other times, it’s hidden, like being born in the

1/11/ Life’s Like Pool, Not Checkers
People love to say, “Life’s like chess, not checkers.” It’s a way of reminding us that life requires strategy and long-term thinking, not just quick moves. But here’s the thing—I didn’t grow up playing chess. The game that taught me about life was pool.

1/10/ Knowledge Without Wisdom Is Dead
Growing up, my mom used to tell me, “Marcus, you got all those brains and no common sense.” And man, was she right. I was that kid who loved to read, devoured encyclopedias, and could crush it watching Jeopardy. I wanted to know everything about

This book inspired me to write children books about technology.

Keep doing good work family because someone is watching.
You could be the spark for a ton of people out here.

I did this acrylic painting a while ago. I love creating my own art and enjoy buying art from other people.
I also appreciate some of the AI art I see.
I understand the ethical concerns about these models being trained on others’ work, but isn’t all art inspired by what came before?

1/13/ "Put me anywhere on God’s green earth, I’ll triple my worth" ~ Jay-Z
That lyric from Jay-Z has been my mantra ever since I first heard it. It’s more than just a clever line—it’s a philosophy. To me, it’s about owning your worth, no matter the circumstances. It’s saying: put me anywhere,

1/12/ You’re the Real MVP: Stop Gatekeeping Yourself

1/13/ Diversity: It’s In You, Not On You
There’s a saying in my community that goes, “It’s in me, not on me.”
It’s all about authenticity—what’s real, what’s rooted deep within you, not just what you’re wearing or projecting on the surface. And lately, I’ve been thinking about how this applies

1/13/ Think Like a Free Agent: What Professional Sports Teach Us About Work
I was watching a sports show recently, and Chad Johnson—also known as Ochocinco—dropped a gem that really stuck with me. He was talking about a player who signed a big deal but wasn’t delivering on the field.
