Completing the July Mile Challenge This Wellness Wednesday, I'm excited to share that we finished the July Mile Challenge with a total of 100 miles. Back in January, we were sitting around 50 to 60 miles a month, but there’s been obvious consistent improvement.  Whether it's through tracking progress or altering distance and time, July marks the first 100-mile month since about three years ago.  It's a cliche, I know, but with a strong mind and a plan for ensuring your body recovers, you can achieve anything.  https://youtu.be/9cskAeQNUMk

Kudos to Drakes Manager, Bill Rogan...

For the past few years, I’ve been working closely with someone, helping him make significant strides in his personal finances and planning for life beyond baseball.  We developed a comprehensive plan that includes managing current earnings, investments, and savings to ensure long-term stability beyond the game and into retirement. We’ve also meticulously reviewed contracts with existing sponsors and explored potential sponsorship opportunities while evaluating the long-term financial impact of each deal. One of the most difficult conversations was about his aspirations post-baseball, exploring potential career paths, and preparing for a smooth transition. It’s never easy to have this talk, especially...
