If modern life has you looking for a way to slow down occasionally, this is it. Each month you’ll receive a printed letter about one of the many topics I'll be covering. Read below for extra details.
The Thinking Man Series is an attempt to slow things down. Founding subscribers will receive the first letter on May 15, 2026. My greater mission is to build a community around a few concepts. 1. Make Plans. Be Grateful. 2. Create positions of advantage. Make course corrections along the way. 3. Nourish your mind and body with high quality information and food. Fill your time with good things, so there is no time for bad things. 4. Healthy individuals build healthy families. Healthy families build healthy communities. And so on. And 5. Communicate so well that you cannot be misunderstood.
I'm 42. Native of New Orleans, been here since 1984. Husband to 1, father of 2 (for now - I think we have time for one or two more). I'm a protector, a provider, and I take my responsibilities seriously. I'm also a dreamer in the evenings and constantly thinking about how to add value, how to create positions of advantage for myself and for those I love, how to relieve some of the suffering I see around me, and seeking that groove where I best fit.
Writing is my lane. I want to share my most valuable information with you. The written word is powerful. Stories are powerful. And personal letters can be life changing. I've written to and for my family and friends consistently throughout my life, and it's effective. No scrolling. No audio. No device. Just a few quiet moments to read and think. I've been storing my most profound thoughts and ideas in journals, articles, and every type of story for 37 years. Now I'm turning those ideas into a monthly handwritten letter packaged with one or two other goodies. Read it. Think about it. Write back if you want. I'll be doing this for many years.
1. Look for the Black Envelope.
2. A handwritten personal letter. Literally. 1-3 pages front and back (10-15 minute read). Some months, the letter will be encouragement and guidance. Some months entertainment. Some months shared experience. Some months questions or concepts to consider. Every month, the relationship we begin will become more dynamic. Each month, one person will receive the original blue ink copy.
3. One or two additional items which could be a photograph, graphic, artwork, bookmark, sticker, pocket affirmation card, vision card, take-action recipe card, or something similar. This item could be from me or from a collaborator/artist.

A writer writes...forever.
