All is Quiet on New Years Day
January 1, 2016
9:16 AM
First thoughts on the New Year:
As I wake this morning, I am thankful for the life the Lord has given me. What a great time of year, to reflect on the past and to plan the future. I love to reflect and I love to plan. Each year I grow in this process. This morning a few things are coming to mind as I begin to plan for 2016:
- servanthood: how can I serve those I love and that need me?
- craftsman: master the process, execute and deliver
- leadership: roles and responsibilities require my stewardship
This is one of my favorite days of the year.
S2E19 Packers at Lions
The miraculous finish – it was a great night to be a Packer fan. Miracles have to start somewhere…

S2E18 Packers vs Bears (the California edition)
Hans recorded in Chris’ home state of California this week. Unfortunately Redding CA is 665 miles from San Diego where Hans was recording. Still, this episode will affectionately be called the California Edition of Two Guys in a Garage.

Thoughts from San Diego
I’ve been in San Diego for only 72 hours but I have moved the ball down the court in a number of different areas. When I came out here I had some big ambitions; I always do when I travel. But with no kids in the trip it was a lot easier to get results. I had projects for work that could be done remotely and all that work feels great do do so far from home (although it was strange to work two hours behind everyone else in Madison).
But the real work was inside my notebook, reading a Great Work, and rethinking how I get work done. Specifically I’ve been organizing and processing files, workflows, and establishing editorial calendars and publishing guidelines. This work is good for my soul. I will return home in a better place and more equipped to succeed because of this time in San Diego.
I got some time with Todd Durkin this morning. He’s literally the only trainer in the country who I would make an effort to connect with and I’m so happy I could make it work. Of course that meant I had to spend a little more time this afternoon processing that meeting because I have a couple very specific take aways to apply.
Katie is done with her last meeting in a few minutes here and then we’re going out to find a beach and then go out for the evening. San Diego: huge success and a lot of fun.
S2E17 Packers at Viking
This week the guys celebrate the first Packers victory in over a month.
S2E16 Packers vs Lions
The Packers fall to 6-3 after losing to the Detroit Lions. We talk less X’s and O’s and more about being a Packers fan and how it affects our week, even how it’s affected how we watch the game. We even reference the Ronda Rousey upset from last weekend.
Thanks to Stella’s for sponsoring Two Guys in a Garage.
S2E15 Packers at Panthers
We had some technical difficulties, so listeners will need to crank their volume this week – sorry.
This week we are joined by yet another member of Chris’ family. Elliot, Chris’ father, was visiting for the week and we are so happy to have him on the podcast.
Thanks again to Stella’s for their support of Two Guys in a Garage.
S2E14 Packers at Broncos
This week the guys were joined once again by Chris’ brother Andy. The Packers suffered their first loss of the season and the guys suggest some “dream moves” that could help the Pack get back on track.
S2E13 Bye Week
During the bye week the guys have a candid talk about football memories growing up. They were joined again by Chris’ brother Andy.
