Your life is a huge virtual classroom and there are lessons being taught everyday. Be a good student — pay attention, listen closely, ask for help. As many of you know, the trigger for 100Pedals started with my experiences with Brandon’s addiction. The chaos, the pain, the disruptive behaviors all took me on a path through my adversity to a better sense of clarity, purpose, and opportunity. It has been a difficult...

With the celebration of Thanksgiving just around the corner, it seemed as good a time to share this with you. A beggar was sitting by the side of the road when a successful businessman walked by. The beggar caught the man’s attention and he reached into his pocket and...

“Since everything around you is in perpetual motion, standing still allows everything to pass you by.” I have been sharing my thoughts on 100 Pedals for nearly ten months now. There are several messages and beliefs that I have consistently and, hopefully, clearly shared with you. The theme of my messages is that we all have been blessed with a unique set of gifts and talents that others are looking for and need. And, by...
