Oola is about finding balance— and growth— in the seven key areas of life (Fitness, Finance, Family, Faith, Field, Friends, & Fun), while living with less stress…

… so that we can live our purpose.

The digital framework uniquely bends to you— and then pushes...

Let me introduce you to Bryan Clay…

You’ve probably already SEEN him, but you may not know him.

Long before I met Bryan I saw a photo of him circulating the Internet— one where he was draped in the American flag, fresh off winning the Decathlon. That feat officially dubbed...

In this talk I continue where I left off last week (see www.Jenkins.tv/blog/170), talking about the Oola story. My piece in it, anyway…

Right now, Oola is in the middle of a global launch. In fact, it’s HAPPENING the day this podcast airs— 7/7/2021.

The goal is to positively...

Last week— the week I recorded this podcast episode— I started the #75Hard Challenge. It’s been all over the Internet + social media for the past year or so. If you haven’t heard about it, I guarantee you will again in the near future.

Let’s talk about FIELD for a bit...

We were created in God’s Image. He’s a Creator, a worker… one who adds value.

That means this—

Work isn’t a curse.

Despite all of the jokes about dreading “manic” Mondays, work is actually a gift. In the...

This can be a tough area for a lot of people…

And it can be a GREAT one.

And it can be both. Even at the same time.

Long post warning

This is an area where I’ve felt like a failure and had to do some deep soul-searching.

(Maybe you can relate.)

A few years ago, overnight, my...

Here’s our definition for Finance…
