I ate half a hamburger with macaroni and cheese on it in a mountain bar while old people got wasted at the bar. However, I did not eat fries. I have decided to not eat potatoes in 2024. I am 21 days sober.
Right now I am watching the Detroit Lions football game. Could you imagine if the Detroit Lions won the Super Bowl? The Lions haven’t won anything since Jesus had season tickets.
Anyway…
This past weekend I hosted my mastermind in Blue Ridge, GA. We rented a big cabin up in the mountains on Airbnb. I am not a fan of AirBnB. I am a hotel guy.
You should have seen the list of chores we were instructed to do when we checked out of the AirBnB. I got this email from the owner:
Check Out Instructions Check out is at 11:00 AM Place used towels in washing machine using laundry pods provided and run cycle, transfer load to dryer upon completion and leave dryer running when you checkout. This helps us get ready for the next guest as it can take several hours to wash all linens! Put all dishes in dishwasher and turn it on Rinse out kitchen sink Remove all open food containers from fridge/counter tops All condiments/seasonings provided shall be left on the premises Turn off all lights/ceiling fans/fire places/TV's Turn all 3 thermostats to 65 in Winter (heat mode) and 78 in Summer (cooling mode) Ensure all windows and doors are closed and locked Double check drawers for personal items Please return all games/puzzles/books where you found them Press red circle at bottom of keypad on door to lock front door Please checkout by designated time so we have the ability to finish cleaning before the next guest arrives
One last thing before you go! I've embarked on this journey to provide an outstanding experience for guests because I'm trying to work my way up to being a stay at home dad for my children (12 and 7) in the golden years before they head off to college. I would truly appreciate a 5 star review to help move my dreams towards reality. I am interested in any honest, private, feedback you might have so I can improve on everyone's future experience and you can leave that here in the chat or private feedback. If you could do me a personal kindness and click that 5 star button it really helps me reach more guests and gets me just a little bit closer to making my dream a reality.
Pulling at my heartstrings after he unloads a chore list a mile long. Smart dude. Mind you the damn house was a mansion on top of a mountain so I am sure ol boy has plenty of cash.
The cleaning fee was $300. The AirBnB fee was $80. The nightly rate was enormous.
AirBnB is dumb.
Anyway, how are you? Cold? I bet. The heaters are not working in two of my rental properties. What a joy. I should charge a heating fee.
The good news is my mastermind was a success. We all got clarity on challenges we are facing in life and some direction for our businesses. Plus I ate a macaroni and cheese burger Saturday night. Well, half of one.
Since you didn’t ask, here are three takeaways from the Mastermind you might find earth shattering:
AirBnB sucksIt’s almost impossible to figure out your shit on your own. You have to get outside perspective for breakthroughs. Join a mastermind or create your own.
Goals are useless if you don’t write them down in a fancy folder created on Canva with colors and foul language.
Connetion is the only thing that matters and we connect the best by having unique experiences together. Ergo the mastermind.
The late great ganster Plato once said…
“You can discover more about a person in one hour of play than in a year of conversation,”
Keep playing folks.
Speaking of, want to see what ChatGPT created when I asked it to create an image of Plato as a bad ass?

PS. I am going to open up the next mastermind to a few peeps. Let me know if you want some info. No unfun people allowed (unless you own a fancy AirBnB we can use).
