I'm trying to level up in every area of my life. Trying to up my pay. Up my job performance. Up my purpose. Even my son leveled up with his 17th birthday. Lots to share and get caught up on this episode.

I've lost a lot of weight this year. It's time to get my wife's side of the story.

In this episode, I share my journey of finding balance in my life, the challenges of managing expectations on weekends, and exciting developments at my job, where I've taken on new responsibilities in social media and content creation. I also touch on my personal health journey, including changes in my routine and medication, and how I'm adapting to a new lifestyle. We also talk about my sternum and ribs.

I defend Jenn against the wrath of an elderly woman. I go Mountain Biking. I survive Thanksgiving food. Finished a book. Made some videos. Lost some weight. Just basically killing it right now.

Sharing stories about generational differences in communication, a mall visit where I found Buzz Lightyear collectibles, and plans for Thanksgiving with family. At work, I'm creating videos, overcoming challenges with old equipment, and reflecting on whether people value me for who I am or just my skills.

Mental health is always a focus, balancing personal struggles with professional duties while finding joy in podcasting and video editing. I hit a weight goal, and talk about how I'm managing medication challenges.

I close with some thoughts on communication and avoiding gossip.

Life is going pretty well right now but after Monday, November 4th I know it's just one bad day from going back to the way things were.

There is so much stuff to catch up on after nearly a month of not podcasting. My new favorite hobby on Facebook Marketplace. I fell into a ditch. I might be a great sports dad after all. Updates on the new job, transportation, a heartfelt letter to my daughter and an upcoming trip to see the greatest band in the world, Five Iron Frenzy. Health updates since my gastric sleeve surgery & cataract surgery. The perks of being a Costco member. Podcast updates, depression updates, family updates and what I'm reading, watching and playing. Closing out with a thought about fighting a spiritual fight for the Kingdom of God rather than using the World's tools to win in the World's Kingdom.

This week, I'm feeling only 20% depressed and navigating life in a new reality—one where most of my time is spent working. After over a decade of freedom (read: depression) to pursue personal projects, adjusting to the 9-to-5 grind has been challenging. In this episode, I break down my typical week, share insights about my new job, and discuss how I strive to let my light shine for Jesus in the workplace.

It's tough for me to hold down a job when I'm not used to working. Now that depression has loosened its grip on me for the moment, I'm going to make the most of it while I can. I'll do what I can, when I can, so that when I can't, it won't be such a big deal.
