🛠️ Wallets, Pregnant Again and Tools I'm Using

Hey all 👋 

As a reminder, this what to expect from my personal newsletter:

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Thoughts + resources on faith, parenting and family

• 💼 Business updates + learnings (BetterLetter, Malachi Daily, Birth Ed Course)

• 🗓️ 1ish times a month

Today: Bragging on a friend, family pics, tools I started using, and my favorite song right now.

Bragging on a Friend 👀 

My friend Claudio runs Bullstrap.co, a leather goods company that makes iPhone cases, watch straps, bags and more.

This is not an ad I get nothing from sharing this with you.

It’s just my friend’s company and I’m really proud of him.

He’s turned this company around (not without some hard times immediately after taking the company over). Strong believer, great CEO, better father and a true innovator.

And their newest product is SICK: wallets..

But not just wallets. Beautiful wallets that you’ll never lose 👇️ 

No need to buy an expensive Apple airtag. But still connects with your iPhone seamlessly. So smart.

Family Pics 📸 

Shoutout to our friend Nicole for crushing these.

My favorite part besides my glowing wife and sweet kiddos? These were all taken in our backyard/the creek on our property. Grateful.

Also, if you didn’t know, we’re expecting our fourth kiddo in April. Only one more after that to field a starting 5 🏀 👀 

New Tools I’m Using 🛠️ 

• ❓️ Youform is way better than Typeform (and significantly cheaper) for surveys

• 🐦️ Minimal Twitter is a free Google Chrome plugin that has helped me spend way less time on Twitter by stripping away the distracting elements

• 🤖 Claude is my favorite AI tool right now

What I’m Listening To 🎧️ 

• Kid Again by Jon Bellion (my favorite artist) has been getting me in the mindset of play before and during the workday. Been listening to it on my 5 minute runs every morning. Music can have such an impact on how you feel when you’re working. (Also, Judah started sleeping through the night so I’m hoping to get back to CrossFit soon 🤞)

Until next time 🫡

P.S. It’s possible that 2024 is the year I start 3 new business entities (BetterLetter + 2 others). Will know more in the next few weeks.

Might be a complete idiot for doing it. Might be a genius. Maybe a bit of both. But for now, I’m confident God has given me the green light to take a step forward.

Stay tuned. More to come soon.
