"The habits you repeat (or don't repeat) every day largely determine your health, wealth, and happiness."
-- James Clear
On this episode I share the habits that are currently a part of my life. Many of these I've learned from others, so maybe there are some here that you can try for yourself.

Fantasy Football 2019 has arrived! In this episode I recap my first draft, which took place on August 20th. It was a 12 team snake draft, part of the FootballGuys Players Championship, a large field event with high stakes.
I selected from the 3 spot, where I knew my 1st pick would be one of the top 3 running backs. After that the plan I had heading into the draft went out the window, quickly. Check out the episode to hear what went down.

Check out :60 Second Fantasy, a new show on IGTV where I break down the fantasy relevant players on each of the 32 teams, for 1 minute a piece.
I'm not a great swimmer, I hate running, and didn't have a bike...so a few months ago I signed up for a sprint triathlon.
It was challenging, but manageable, and a lot of fun.

On January 1st, 2018, I decided to record myself daily, talking about any one topic that I happen to be thinking of in the moment. Almost all episodes are under 5 minutes. I have not missed one day since.

What music would I want with me if I was banished to a deserted island for the rest of my life? This is one of the most difficult questions ever posed to man.

Rachel is a blogger, writer, published author, and speaker. She believes strongly in sharing the good, bad and ugly of motherhood instead of the alternate reality some like to perpetuate. She’s a contributor for PopSugar, Today Parents, and has been featured on ScaryMommy and HuffPo, among others. Rachel hides from her kids in her closet every Monday night where she records a Facebook live show commiserating with other parents about all things motherhood. But really, her biggest accomplishment is regularly doing the obscene amount of laundry created by her husband and two daughters and keeping everyone in clean clothing.
In this episode we get into Rachel's decision to leave the corporate world and follow her passion as a writer. This led to a successful blog and now an active Instagram account under the moniker whineandcheezits. Rachel now balances life as an influencer with motherhood, and shares the adventures along the way.

Slade has built three millennial-focused newsrooms, most recently as managing editor and editorial product head at CNN's Beme, and before that at Mic and HyperVocal. He also co-hosted and executive produced SiriusXM's daily "Politics Powered by Twitter" satellite radio show. He also is co-director of Camp Power, a nonprofit summer camp for underprivileged kids from Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Slade and I grew up in the same town and went to school together. This was our first time hanging out in many, many years. We discussed playing in a cul-de-sac, Angela Lansbury, Broadway shows, why I should watch soccer, and where the media landscape is heading (hint: we don't know). Also, his incredible nonprofit, a summer camp for kids who don't otherwise have the chance to go, Camp Power.
Please enjoy this episode of Talkin' Ish, with Slade Sohmer.
You can find Slade amplifying voices that need to be heard, on Twitter, @slade, and on Instagram @sladeny.

I think there are a lot of stories on our walls. What we choose to look at everyday and showcase for company says a lot about who we are and what is important to us.
I decided to walk around my house and share all the things that I and my wife have decided to put on our walls.
Topics Include:
-Fasting Mimicking Diet
-All The Pieces Matter: The Oral History of The Wire
-Now and Then: The Autobiography of Joseph Heller aka Uncle Joe
-NBA Playoffs
-NFL Draft
-American Idol
Someone put together a 64 "team" field of Kanye tracks, split them into 4 regions, and seeded them 1-16. I had to weigh in.
This was an incredible amount of fun. Yes, I'm 41 with two kids, but still.
