Ravens fans will clamor for the most elite receiver core, but not acknowledge they are literally elite at every other position group.
Like the only way you can “invest” into Lamar is receivers.
A all pro tight end, nope
All pro left tackle, nope
One of the leagues best rushing

The wife and I have decided - we’re definitely leaving AZ (going to keep our place here, too much family here)
Looking between PNW, and Southeast.
Specific reasons why (land, access to outdoor lifestyle, and family)
Pros and cons to both.
Keep in mind, I’m an avid back

No state income tax is something to consider.
Also, vastly cheaper to travel to other areas bc of how close everything is.

Several reasons.
My wife is originally from France. Az is the exact opposite climate (PNW is actually very similar climate)
Summers are tough, and it’s not the heat. It’s that you can’t even go outside. Pool gets too hot unless it’s early morning, swing sets burn your skin.

I didn't intend for my "move from AZ" tweet to get over 1 million views & 500 comments. Biggest takeaways:
- More political opinions than I expected (more on that in a 2nd tweet)
- PNW is unrivaled for outdoor activities.
- Utah, CO, ID get a lot of love for the same reasons

Catching passes in the NFL is cool.
Growing a tech company that doubles each year is really cool.
But when the wife is away and you got a 2 yr old and 8 mo log girl, and you get them down for a nap at the same time…
That’s maybe my biggest accomplishment yet

Snuck out to Disney for a quick trip.
I keep hearing the advice “enjoy it while you can” and don’t let the business of work and business take away from your kids.

I get up at 430 to do what I need to do, and then get my girls up every morning, and we get ready together, then I go to the office.

500 + Comments, so here are the top 5 recommended places to move (PNW/SE)
1. Bend, OR
2. Idaho (Not specifying, b/c its my favorite)!
3. Greenville, SC
4. Eastern TN
5. Ashville NC
Most of these are the general areas, so cities/towns in the same area also got a lot of praise!

Carriers, man.
Approved to receive their data over a year ago. They then tell someone we are not.
I then have to take them to school. The revolving door at carriers and their lack of focus on helping agencies, and partners, is wild.

I feel like I’ll try to keep this yearly update going.
We’ve helped quote, issue, and renew over $400M in premium this year.
Well onto our goal of $1B by 2024 (should hit next year).
30 + employees all singularly focused on helping agencies quote and sell more premium
So update here.
We launched

We have 20 employees, all completely dedicated to helping agencies issue $10Billion in new premium by 2025 (we are blowing through our original goal and need a bigger one).

No, it wasn’t legal.
The LS cannot move the ball, except when getting into position. Once set, he can only move his head down (to see the holder).
This is a point of emphasis, LS cannot love the ball once in position.
