I’ve been a traveling consultant with a CPA license. Now I’m a WFH entrepreneur with three kids.
Getting to know me in 60 seconds
I live in Minneapolis, MN with my wife Shalva and three children, Ezra (2017), Judah (2019), and Zelda (2021), and rescue dog, Lucy (2012).
My past life as a “consulting resource” has shaped how I work today. You must take care of yourself to do good work.
I see myself as an early, middle-age (1985) dad who takes good care of himself. I rest, I run outside, I eat plant-based food.
I prioritize my health, both physical and mental, over all.
I work hard, but not too much.
I push myself, but not too far.
I’m always trying to get a little bit better.
Work things I’m most proud of
- Speaking at various conferences
- Building a beloved health and wellness brand and lifestyle business: LifeIsNoYoke
- Earning 30,000 subscribers on our YouTube Channel
- Publishing 600 posts on self-help, quick-read site uncleleosblog.
- Starting a little marketing business for orthodontists and oral surgeons called Pain in the Mouth
Topics I enjoy talking about
- Work / life balance, avoiding burnout
- Finding joy in your work
- Staying productive in the smartphone era
- The right way to make big career changes
- Managing stress in a client services world
Working for the man was not for me. But since working for myself, I’ve realized that the grass is not necessarily greener. It’s about appreciating the grass you have. And that self-love is the key to success and satisfaction at every point in your career.
(Yes, I’d be interested in speaking to your group. I do one paid and one pro bono speaking engagement per month.)
