[MM]: This is my Last Monday Mindset Message [Bittersweet]
Happy Monday Mindset! Today, I share bittersweet news. This is my final one after 8 years and 485 Monday Mindset newsletters. That’s the bitter news. The sweet news? The journey doesn’t end—it evolves. 🙂 Introducing “Adversity is Your Advantage,” a new brand carrying the torch forward. Why? My core mindset belief, rooted in Stoic philosophy, […]
[MM]: Perspective + Freedom 🇺🇸🇩🇪
Happy Monday Mindset! I hosted my dear friend Dr. Petra Frese on a Fit Body Mastermind call a couple of weeks ago. Petra is a survivor of the hard socialist rule of East Germany post-World War II. She was 22 years old on November 9, 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell. On a cold morning, […]
[MM]: This is the secret sauce to long-term productivity
Happy Monday Mindset! This past Friday, I rallied my Fit Body HQ crew for some team bonding time. It was a home run, pun intended! 😉 Kickball, steak fajitas, and connection. However, here’s a truth bomb: I’m drowning in projects and deadlines. Work’s been stacking up like a Jenga tower on the brink. When I […]
[MM]: “Oh shoot, I forgot my gun!”
Happy Monday Mindset! A few weeks back, I shared that I took an annual friends’ trip to Atlanta for the weekend. We only have 48+ hours together, so we do a good job aligning on the agenda about a month before arriving. This way we can maximize the time spent. On the first day, I […]
[MM]: Entrepreneurs change the world!
Happy Monday Mindset! Politics aside, I was inspired last week by Elon Musk and the Space X team, along with NASA, who saved 2 American astronauts stuck in space for nearly 10 months. This was an incredible accomplishment and am still in disbelief at what we saw! What a giant win for space travel, human […]
[MM]: A reminder on priorities [Annual Friends Trip]

For nearly a decade, we traveled the world together […]
[MM]: A lesson from Mom!
Happy Monday Mindset! This week hits differently. My mom, Donna, who we call “Mother Dove” is Michigan-bound on Wednesday. She’s been my California roommate since 2014. Lately, semi-retired, she’s moved between staying with me and my brother Barrett in Michigan. Post-Christmas, she fled the Midwest freeze for some West Coast fun—and it’s been a blast. […]
[MM]: The Lesson from 2 Guinness Book of World Records
Happy Monday Mindset! I spent the last week in Houston, Texas for our 1st Mastermind Workshop of the year. Fit Body Mastermind is a leadership coaching program designed to provide extra leadership training for our owners. We had a solid crew of presenters who taught about leadership, process, and client experience as our theme. My […]
[MM]: My Level 10 Problem + Your Solution
Happy Monday Mindset! “OMG, babe, something is wrong, I cannot walk!” That is what I shrieked in late August to my wife Tatiana as I hopped off the treadmill just finishing my 2-mile run in agonizing pain! You see, I love to run as it unlocks mental clarity and creativity which is my therapy. I […]
