Hey Scott! Thanks for reading. Make sure to give your dad some big props next week! Perhaps a wallhog is in order? (Sorry for the shameless plug!)

Great post, Kendall. This really touches home because I, too, tend to call on my father when I need some advice. He is and has always been there for me and his suggestions/warnings/ideas always seem to hold true and be correct. I guess knowledge does truly come with age.

Thanks for this post, Kendall, helps me (us all) to slow down for just a bit and focus on the important things in life. We easily get caught up and forget what truly holds us in tact. Time to call back home and send some BIG love. Take care, Kendall, have a good one.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for reading and it was also a pleasure meeting you as well. We should probably explain your comment a little for those who don’t yet know about Wallhogs. Chris is a photographer who specializes in youth action sport shots. He has partnered with my company Wallhogs.com to sell prints directly to his customer base. As we found out after we signed him up, Chris is my neighbor. I saved him some shipping costs and hand delivered our sports kit directly. I’ve enjoyed meeting great new people like you and am also grateful for the opportunity to support you in your new adventures.

To your comment, I believe that we all have a support structure that is unique based on our needs and the counter needs of the people who support us. I’m glad you have your balance and I hope this post also made you stop and thank that person as well. Thanks for reading and thanks for such an insightful comment.

Well, I must apologize for reading so late, but yet timing is everything. I must admit when I met you back in March right after I got the phone call from Wallhogs. I was so excited. Partly, because I envisioned something like this for my personal business and they found me but, I was also lucky enough to be right up the block from you and got to meet such a dynamic person… in person. I must say I was impressed overall just with the phone conversation, but then I saw your car (lol).I just hope you have furniture now. Honestly though I read your blog and it really hit home, sorry to be clichÃ©. Now I can’t explain it all, but my support system is a little different. It is small…lets just say a grain of sand to most, but to me it provides a beach. My very best friend of about 20yrs. Talk about school of hard knocks. We know the gutter been there done that. He is fast money (but, he will never admit it)big numbers big returns, but it has to be right now. I am slow money. You know start small, mold it and grow it. I grind it out everyday and so does he in hopes one of us will figure it out and fly. We share our ideas, we critique, we argue, we laugh…most of all when it gets crazy we support each other, we balance. BALANCE, such an under appreciated word. You here it all the time and you hear it so much, yet you shrug it off. This may sound gay, but it is like a vitamin to success. If you lack it. No matter how hard you try something just doesn’t feel right. Gears don’t mesh and wheels won’t turn. I guess (in all my gayness)the moral is; get a good dose of what ever vitamin it is to you and take it daily if you must. It will make a big difference in what ever you do.

Kendall,

Loved your “redlining” article! Sounds like you are already learning some valuable “life” lessons. You have an awesome talent for putting them into words. Thanks for sharing.

Toby,

Thank you for your kind words. I think it’s not only important to place yourself in situations where interest are aligned but to make sure you give the situation the correct analysis both during the event and after it.

I try to make a conscious effort to revisit past experiences and use the lessons learned to avoid future mistakes. The fact that these lessons were learned at a young age is for me, priceless.

Thanks for reading (and contributing).

Hey, you weren’t that snippy, at least to me I thought that you handled yourself pretty well all in all, even given that it was obvious that you were upset. In any case, TurnTide was the perfect place to have that experience because it did work out so well and it was a no-loss lesson.

Redlining is indeed a problem for everyone and something I struggle with a lot of the time. Its hard to feel excluded from something when you put so much time and effort into it, even though you know rationally that you are not the right person to make the big deals or the big calls. I think your dad’s advice was absolutely spot on: trust is key and interests must be aligned. And if they are, everyone will go home a winner.

Hi Doug! Thanks for reading! Yeah, the good ole days. I hope this message finds you doing well. Last I heard you were still rocking it in Philly, is that right? Drop me a personal update sometime, I would enjoy keeping in touch. kendall @ kendallschoenrock.com
