When you start a business you love, you may be tempted to put 100% of your time and energy during waking hours into making it a success. Cali and I have done that with GeekBrief.TV. Even when we took time off from the show, we used the time to work on parts of the business [...]
When I was about 12-years-old, I got to see Zig Ziglar speak. Up until Zig, the only people I had seen standing on a stage talking were preachers. Zig is a motivational speaker. He’s funny and compelling. I wanted to grow up and do that.
The desire to become a motivational speaker persisted through college. I [...]

Our littlest dog Zoe woke me up early with a request to go outside. When I got back to the room, I couldn’t fall back asleep. We’re on a road trip from Dallas to Chicago because a couple friends who own a restaurant in Highland Park, IL are having a BBQ emergency and we decided [...]
Someone posted a comment on BigTrip.TV:
I’m interested to know what you’re doing to offset the carbon emissions from this “trip”.
I love that he put the word trip in quotes, as if it’s somehow suspect and not really a trip at all. Surely our true intention is to destroy the planet as we know it [...]

When we set our minds on the goal of becoming professional podcasters, we had laser focus that goes beyond any ambition we’ve ever had before. Our year-long road trip goal has a similar feeling. The goal actually seems almost impossible. We’re wanting to raise more money in two months than we’ve ever made in a [...]
Macworld, for us, was an amazing week. We met old friends and made new friends. We’re convinced people who watch GeekBrief.TV are the nicest, coolest people we could know. We also learned a lot.The shows we make outside the studio are not as good as those we make when we’re here. Cali is great in [...]
Some people just LOVE to travel. I’m not one of them. We just got home from Nashville and now we’re off to Arizona for three days. We’re meeting with some folks from Intel, and I’m excited about that. I’m also excited about shooting a Brief at the Grand Canyon, finally. [...]
There’s a Southern Gospel song that kept ringing through my head as we wound our way back home. It says,
They say that Heaven’s pretty and livin’ here is too,
But, if they said that I would have to choose between the two,
I’d go home. I’d go home, where I belong.
The song is talking about home [...]
