Why We Made One of the Biggest Decisions of Our Lives
There are moments in life where comfort and convenience scream the loudest — and we ignore them.
This year, Ali and I made a decision that’s not about comfort. It’s not even about us.
We’re adopting.
But this story goes far deeper than just adding to our family — it’s about purpose, fulfillment, delayed gratification, and what it really means to pour into someone else’s life.
In today’s podcast, Ali and I pull back the curtain on:
- Why we decided to adopt now — even with a full plate
- The brutal truth about chasing happiness vs. building joy
- What COVID revealed about discipline (and how it shaped the next generation)
- How one small shift in parenting flipped my mindset as a father
This one’s real, raw, and probably the most personal conversation we’ve had on the show.

Let’s talk about choosing purpose over pleasure — and why it might just be the most radical act in today’s culture.
