This is where Galveston Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. Those ships at anchor are waiting for a pilot to navigate their 800 ft ship up the bay, which averages 11 ft in depth (the ships draught is typically 25-35 ft). There is a 500 ft wide channel carved into the Bay called the Houston Ship Channel which is 40 miles long and about 50 ft deep...almost 30 miles to within eyesight of downtown Houston. A reminder that hiring an expert in a given field can be the economical choice in growing a business.

"You have until October 31st to make it happen before the lawyers get involved." No pressure 😳 Professional peaks are memorable, but it's the valleys where the real magic happens. April 2009 - Our stone company's lease of quarry land in southern Indiana is expiring on the aforementioned date. Our task? Get rid of all of our equipment on the land and build a road from the top of the quarry to the valley below. ⚠️ Zero - The amount of experience we had selling heavy machinery or building roads. Also the budget we had to spend making this happen. You know the saying failure isn't an option? This was it. Get it done or be sued into oblivion. That 7 month stretch was merely a chapter in my story. Did we pull it off? Your damn right we did. But it's not the success I think about, it's the countless hurdles and do or die approach we took. If you’re chasing a professional goal and it seems miles away, pause. Breathe. Gather your wits and focus. And know that when you finally get there, you'll view it from a different vantage point than you thought. One where you see what you're made of. And if we find ourselves sharing a frosty beverage together, ask me about the quarry and prepare for stories of dynamite, wasps and tunnels to hidden treasure 😜

Now that is how training workshops should look at colleges
