Girls Just Want to Have Fun
My name is at the top of the Spark leaderboard this week in our 9-hole league. 770 points. 18 rounds. First place by 5 points. I'll be honest – it feels good. But not for the reasons you might think. The Adventure Mindset I've always been drawn to new challenges. I was a skydiver videographer…
Where Were You?
Growing up, my mom would often talk about where she was when President Kennedy was assassinated. My grandmother was a devoted Kennedy supporter, and her brother even served as an economic advisor to the president. Those conversations always fascinated me. How could a single moment be seared into someone's memory forever? I never fully understood…
The Dojo and the Market
My 12-year-old daughter just started martial arts. I watch her struggle with the basics right now. Her stance needs work. Her kicks lack power. She gets frustrated when the instructor corrects her form for the tenth time in one class. I see something else happening though… She learns discipline with each correction. She discovers that…

The CPI print was supposed to calm markets—but once you dig into the details, it’s a mess. Food, utilities, and core services are still sticky, momentum is diverging, and insiders are sitting on their hands instead of buying. That tells you this isn’t the clean “soft landing” Wall Street wants to sell—it’s a…
Banks Paying Traders to Wait?
Forget chasing the S&P at all-time highs. I’ve got something WAY better. Blake just laid out how to collect steady cash while positioning for the next big swing in financials. JP Morgan just ripped to new 52-week highs, and Blake’s eyeing a “V-type reversal” that could carry it from $291 to $315 — an 11%…
Are We There Yet?
The market ripped 105 points today but don't be fooled by the headline number. While the S&P hits new highs, the machines are executing the biggest stock-picking rotation in years. They're buying momentum and selling overpriced garbage at the same time. The Confirmation Bias Rally Meets Reality Two conflicting data points hit this morning and…
