It's that time of year already and I've decided to do my own starts this year.

My thoughts on the two biggest benefits of running a vending business.

Sometimes you've got to humble yourself and do whatever it takes to succeed.  My time delivering pizzas while and ad executive and after years as an Air Force pilot was definitely a humbling experience.  Why did I do it?

My hike up Diamond Head crater outside of Honolulu, Hawaii.

An update on our tomato ripening experiment placing them in cardboard boxes with ripening tomatoes.

After learning the basics of candy and gumballs, I ventured into capsuled toys on my bulk vending route.  A few of my thoughts.

It's the step-by-step progress that gets us all where we want to go in life.  Don't let all that needs to be done intimidate you from doing big things.

Finishing up a mentorship trip with one of our franchisees and got a chance for some R and R on Waikiki beach.

I'm known at the hospital in Fort Worth as the guy who attended a Packer game in the frozen tundra of Lambeau field after having a heart attack.

How I got started in selling stickers, the foundation of our national franchise today.

Last minute harvest before the freeze yielded large pepper crop.

Waiting for Hop On Hop Off bus tour in Dublin.

Operating system issues sidetracked the podcast this last week.

Hoping to get some green tomatoes to ripen and using bananas to help along with the process.

How I went about placing my first gumball machine and getting our vending business off the ground.

Gary has been a huge inspiration and source of information for me over the past few years.  His language and presentation is sometimes brash, but he's brilliant.  Thoughts on his newest YouTube project called, Trash Talk.

Got to take a short trip out of the Dublin metropolitan area to Kilkenny and the Kilkenny castle market.  

Reminder that tomorrow's election day here in the US.

More of my vending beginnings and why candy, gumballs, and bulk vending made the most sense for us.

Got to have our first blazing fire in the fireplace much earlier than normal this year.
