POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Just a reminder.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

1• Nobody’s got it as figuered out as it seems, we’re all figuring shit out as we go. I fail at trying to be the best dad, husband, “athlete” & entrepreneur, daily. Try, fail, learn, try again.

2• Don’t wait for the weekend or vacation to do fun shit. This was on a random Wednesday. Small local adventures are underrated. You can hype up any outing as a cool adventure.

3• Your health, family, friends and your experiences with them are all that really matter in the end.

4• You’re the master of your life. If you don’t like something, change it or don’t complain about it. Most of all stop giving a fuck about what people think.

5• Don’t take yourself so seriously, go ride your bike and hang out with the people you love.

Race recap 🫡

This might not interest you or you might think it’s long, but I wanted to share my experience with the ones who might be interested. Each picture or video tells a story..

1️⃣ Why an Ironman?

Since I was young, I’ve had an interest for endurance sports. Mostly because of my good friend @frankviolette_3 who would talk to me about Ironman’s, Tour de France, Olympics, etc.

Even I had an interest in them, I’ve never really practiced them seriously until a couple years ago. During my 100lbs weight loss journey, I have found a love for endurance sports!

They’re always room for improvement in these sports and I want to keep proving to my children and everybody else that anything is possible if you bring a positive attitude and put in the work.

The final result of this experience was obtained by having a good work ethic and having a desire to push myself to see how much my body and mind can endure.

I signed up for this race a year ago. Most of you probably don’t know that I DNF’d my first triathlon after signing up for this..

I was competing at the Cambridge-Narrows olympic distance triathlon (1500m, 40km, 10km) and I had to get out of the water on a jetski as my body was in shutdown mode in the water.

I took this loss very hard and the look on my kids faces when I had to pull out of the race really affected me. In my head, there was no way I would be able to complete a full Ironman if I couldn’t even finish an olympic distance event.

But failure is one of the best ways to learn and improve yourself. I could have hired a coach to help me out, but like I did with my weight loss and running journey, I stuck to my guns and decided to believe in me and do it all by myself!

I always put modest goals for myself and a stretch goal. Modest: 12h
Stretch: Under 11h
I had done a half Ironman by myself and finished with a time of 5:05.

I never expected finishing with an official time of 9:47.19!

2️⃣ The day before

Sometimes, things don’t always go as planned. In those situations, it’s important to be patient and resilient.

The day before a race like this, you wish to have a little shakeout to get the legs and body moving and then get off your feet as so

There’s nothing I love more than getting a good crew of friends together to do something hard.

Our first Grindstone Backyard Ultra was a huge success with many “firsts” - first half marathon, first marathon, first ultra marathon. What an awesome day seeing everyone absolutely CRUSHING. Top male runner @jeandeniscaissie got 70km in 8 hours and top female @namaste_dans_la_nature 50+. Insane! Every single person pushed outside their comfort zone.

Thanks to our partners who helped support the event:
@thomas_shopsantedieppe
@flycraftbeer
@jondblack
@pomodori_moncton.dieppe
@rallyhousepickleball

See you next year. 👊

Moments like these keep my focus in check. I get distracted by the noise and my own ambitions like we all do, but this is the good stuff. This is the goal. This is what success feels like. Riding your bike up and down the driveway laughing with your kids. Smiles up to the ears asking if we can go 1 more time. This is what I work for, this is the end goal.

Got a session in with the Driven Dads @drivendadmethod awesome session, Loved it,

The crews energy can completely change how a workout feels — it stops being just exercise and starts becoming identity, momentum, and community.

Love their Mantra as well

Get around good people...
Feel the momentum...
Join what we’re building....

Thanks @danqapf 🔌

I started learning about real estate at 25. Here’s what I wish someone told me on day one 👇

Most people think you need a ton of money to get into real estate. You don’t.
You need a plan…. And it normally starts with the end in mind.

Step 1 🔒 Learn the language. Cash flow, equity, ROI. These aren’t complicated once someone explains them in plain English.

Step 2 🔒 Build your credit the moment you turn 18. Get a basic credit card, use it for gas or groceries, and pay it off every single month.
Two years of that and you’ll have a score most 25-year-olds wish they had.

Step 3 🔒 Save like your future depends on it. Because it does. Even $300/month turns into over $10,000 in three years.

Step 4 🔒House hack your first purchase. Buy a duplex, live in one side, rent the other. Your tenant pays your mortgage while you build wealth in your sleep.

You don’t need to be rich to start.
You need to be intentional.
The people building serious wealth in real estate right now started with one property and a willingness to learn what most people won’t.

Your 20s can look completely different if you start thinking like an investor today.

Save this post for when you’re ready to make your first move 🏠

Drop a 🔥 if you’re under 25 and already thinking about investing.
I want to hear from you.

Here are my top 3 books I recommend to anyone diving in.

After-school “backcountry”. 🏂

The spirit of adventure is something we focus on keeping a priority.

For our kids and for us.

Don’t overthink it. It can be at home or hours away.

You can hype up any adventure, near or far.

Go outside.

We’ll definitely need some @jonessnowboards splits for the twins soon. They loved their first backcountry experience! 🤘

Birthday weekends don’t get much better than this for me.
Friends, family, fresh air, kids running around, good food, laughs and memories we’ll cherish forever.

That’s exactly what we set out to build when we chose to build this home and poured intention into our backyard. Not just a place to live, but a place to gather. A place where people feel welcome, connected, and present.

More and more, the research keeps pointing to the same thing: the biggest denominator of longevity isn’t just fitness or nutrition — it’s community. Real relationships. Time spent together. Shared moments.

I’m incredibly grateful for the people who showed up this weekend and filled our space with life. This is the kind of wealth I care most about building.
