I recently spoke on stage at a business conference, and it was extra special because, for the first time, my kids got to see Dad up there in front of 800 people.

By trade, I spent 25 years as a mortgage loan officer (my partner, Leah, runs that team now, just in case you need a mortgage 🙂). Over the last 10 years I’ve built a sales and business coaching company, which takes me to lots of live events. This was the first one my kids attended where I gave the keynote.

Now that we have 10,000+ subscribers to this newsletter (and almost 1,000 of you are business owners), I’ve been thinking about hosting a local business networking event. Interested?

One of the things I’ve fallen in love with since moving here is how supportive the local business community is. If you’re a business owner, hit reply and tell me what you do. I’d love to connect.

Market Grille Cafe delivers the kind of Mediterranean dining that feels both comforting and refined. From the tender pomegranate chicken to hearty gyro bowls and vibrant mezze plates, every dish tastes fresh and balanced.

The portions are generous, the atmosphere relaxed, and the staff, especially the ever-praised Kenny, make every visit feel personal. Whether it’s a weekday lunch or a celebratory dinner, this family-run favorite never misses a beat.

Ninja Lair is more than a gym, it’s a place where kids build strength, courage, and confidence one obstacle at a time. The facility is spotless and full of exciting challenges, while coaches like Isaiah, Brandy, and Mikey bring unmatched energy and encouragement.

Whether it’s a weekly class or open gym, every visit leaves kids smiling, proud, and ready to take on the next challenge.

The Gist: Northbound lanes of the 215 Beltway between Far Hills Avenue and the Summerlin Parkway interchange will close from 10 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday as crews install a new pedestrian bridge. Traffic will be detoured onto Summerlin Parkway during the closure. The work is part of the $1 billion CC-215/Summerlin Parkway Interchange project, which includes new bridges, underpasses, and trail connections.

Why It Matters:
The improvements will make the interchange safer and more accessible for drivers and pedestrians alike. A brief overnight detour for a long-term upgrade to Summerlin’s road network.
