To Inspire: This week we bring you some pretty profound thoughts on life and purpose from John Cena. Yes, that John Cena, actor and professional wrestler. And before you dismiss this out of hand, John Cena has made quite the name for himself as a genuinely good guy. We’ve actually featured him in WealthNotes before, […]
To Inspire: This past summer, I had the incredible honor of being selected as the marketing intern at The Joseph Group and even more exciting, I was the first-ever intern in this role! What an unforgettable journey it has been. My time here has not only provided me with valuable marketing skills but has also taught me life lessons […]
To Inspire: Tomorrow Mark and I (and our spouses) will be attending a family reunion, on our mother’s side. Mom’s maiden name was Weaver, and this Weaver Cousins Reunion has been going on for years. We meet at our cousin Maggie’s home (and her husband, Rob) and it’s an afternoon of catching up, eating, and […]
To Inspire: At 96 years old, Betty Parker admits she doesn’t have as much energy as she used to, and while that does impact what she can do, she says her 90s have been purpose-filled – something we should all strive for, whatever our age. We’ve talked a lot in WealthNotes about how people are […]

For central Ohio, […]
To Inspire: Last night I attended a gala celebrating the 20th anniversary of our local Catholic radio station here in Columbus, Saint Gabriel Radio. There must have been 500 people in attendance – volunteers, donors, staff, and many who have found the station’s daily programming so uplifting. It got me thinking about the power of […]
To Inspire: While expecting to face new challenges in her nineties, what has truly surprised writer Katherine Esty is the amount of new joys she’s experiencing. She has let go of past regrets and has embraced a sense of gratitude that is new to her. When asked what we all can do – at any […]
To Inspire: Lisa and I drove up to Amish country yesterday (Sugarcreek, Ohio to be exact) to enjoy the beautiful countryside and do some shopping. Afterward I realized how refreshing it was for us to get away from the big city, travel on back country roads and enjoy the spectacular scenery: rolling hills, horse and cattle […]
