It's all about people.
I'm out of shape. I've been eating like crap. I have not exercised in months. I sit in front of my laptop, hunched over, most of the day. All of that changes on August 13th. If you've read this blog before, you are likely aware of at least one of the three "28-Day Challenges" I organized last … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday Waldow Social! On July 11th, 2011, I launched Project Awesome. Three weeks later, my social media experiment successfully concluded when I founded Waldow Social.

Last week, I received a congratulations card in the … [Read more...]
A week ago today, Eva became a big sister. On June 1, 2012 at 2:08PM MT, Cal Viking Waldow was born. As you can imagine, Kristina and I are thrilled. Some days Eva is really excited too.

Dear Coach Rod: I'll never forget my 2nd time ever in the Big House. It was September 24, 1994. I was a freshman. I won't go into the details, but I have a feeling you've seen this "Miracle at Michigan" clip before. Twenty years later, I can still recall the feeling of my heart being ripped out … [Read more...]
