Who Dug Those Wells?

“This place was empty when we arrived.” How often have you heard some version of that? It’s the American dream. The self-made man, the business built from scratch, the idea developed in solitude. It’s the ideal of self-sufficiency. I did it myself and so should you. FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR didn’t exist before Becky and […]

Voluntary Hidden Taxes

Yesterday was Tax Day in the U.S. We know taxes are necessary, and we like to complain about them to some degree. But the taxes that hamper us most aren’t financial, and many are voluntary. Consider the fear tax. It’s exacted every time we limit our opportunity due to fear of something completely beyond our control. […]

I’m In Favor Of…

A few days ago I was interviewed by some college students for a class project. They sent the questions in advance, but asked if it was okay to toss in follow-ups as we progressed. Of course I agreed.

Can You See The Big Picture?

“I’m climbing this hill for someone else.” I’ve been on a few team bike tours. Inevitably there’s that point in the middle of a tough hill on a hot day when somebody’s tempted to stop. They’re struggling, and just when you think they’ll pull over and give up they grab a drink or an energy bar and […]

Are You Trapped Or Free?

Free to choose. How you’ll respond. What you’ll believe. The risks you’ll take. Who you’ll listen to. The legacy you’ll leave. Whether you’ll forgive. How generously you’ll give. Which allegiance you’ll serve. We’re all completely, totally free to make the important choices that impact our lives and the lives of those around us. But… Choice […]
