However, before writing this post, I hesitated, wondering if it was really worth it, … Continue reading #BellLetsTalk – About How Others Have Helped Me
"Don't look back. You're not going that way." "You're not going that way." A few years ago, I stumbled across this quote on Instagram. It wasn't the first time I'd ever seen these words, but for some reason, this particular time, it stood out to me in a new way. In true millennial fashion, it … Continue reading Looking Backward While Moving Forward – The Art Of Love and Loss
As I sit down to write this post, I feel it is imperative to start with a bit of a disclaimer. You guys, I am far from a relationship expert.

If you're my friend in 'real life' you're probably aware that my younger brother, Erik, has been living with us for the past 2.5 years. He's also been working with us at the family business that Mac's parents own, and in this time period, we've had the opportunity to go through all the ups, downs, … Continue reading The End Of An Era
There's no doubt about it, 2010-2020 has marked a decade of disruption. I thought it would be fun to look back on the last ten years and identify a few key phrases that nearly everyone will recognize today, that would have meant nothing to any of us at the onset of this decade.
