People ask me almost daily about “cutting the cord”, or what it’s like to use only high-speed internet and streaming TV, without a hefty cable or satellite bill. In short, it’s awesome. I’ve been doing some version of this for almost 10 years, and for a couple of years I’ve been without cable or satellite…
I’ve written about my side business building WordPress websites a few times in the last year. A huge part of this business is my modern home office, complete with three monitors, an actuated stand-up / sit-down desk, excellent Internet connectivity, and all the gear needed for highly productive remote work. While I don’t always work…

Having started my own side business last year, building WordPress websites in Louisville, it’s now very clear that I wanted WAY too long to actually do this. Had I taken the steps to do this five years sooner, I would no doubt be far further along. The timing probably couldn’t have been worse when I…
With how technology is massively lowering barriers to entry into all kinds of “side hustles”, you’re just not cool unless you’re generating some sort of freelancing income. For example, with all of the web skills I’ve learned over the years as I’ve run various blogs, I’ve been able to turn that into a small company…
Now more than ever, people need time away from their busy lives to spend time with their families, recharge, and create memories, but this isn’t always easy. Vacations can not only be difficult to plan, but can also be downright expensive for just a few days away from reality. Today, my friend Kayla from OurStart…
