Safety isn’t boring, it’s powerful. From masks to helmets to neon gear, here’s why I choose protection and visibility every time.

The movie Escape Plan 2 with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone is more than action it’s a masterclass in trust, patience, and the long game. Just like in business and life, success comes from moving in silence, paying attention to details, and knowing your shot will come.

When someone told me to “change my mindset” and “get hobbies,” I realized how often warriors, builders, and movers get misjudged. I don’t need hobbies.

The LA River has been with me since the pandemic, a path where I’ve yelled, planned, pedaled, and even carried a bee on my arm. From bridges and cafés to quiet pauses by the water, every return is a reminder that the river isn’t just a place it’s a companion.

Sometimes the best moments come when the city gets quiet and you let yourself sit by the LA River, just listening. A reminder that stillness has its own rhythm

La Placita Olvera is more than just the birthplace of Los Angeles, it’s a walkable hub filled with 28 artisan puestos, Mexican food made from passed-down recipes, and vibrant street vendors.

I don’t just train in the gym, I train for the job, for the pivot, for the pressure. As a self-employed working coach, movement keeps me sharp, ready, and grounded.

I’m not just still moving. I’m still building.

Freelance life means constant change and my body feels every shift. One week I’m sitting for hours, the next I’m walking miles in a massive workspace. That’s when I notice the side effects: low food drive, lightheadedness, or the crash that comes from running on coffee alone. Over time I’ve learned a simple truth: when the work shifts, my body shifts. And the best way to stay steady is with pocket fuel, small, dense snacks that keep the fire lit without weighing me down.

As we get older, staying active is only half the journey. Staying sharp, mentally present, engaged, and focused,is just as important. In this post, I share how recovery, reflection, and brain training games have taught me to invest not only in my body, but also in my mind for the long run.
