Oliver’s Questions
In case you missed it. Turns out, my main source of inspiration for these articles is a pint-sized, 9-year-old dude (my son) who thinks he's got all the answers, forcing me into a constant state of fact-checking.
Through that fact-checking chaos, we turn his “dad, did you know…” moments into bite-sized wisdom you can actually use, or at least laugh at over a beer.

The Deadliest Animal in Kentucky (And It’s Not What You Think)
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
The next time you’re cruising Kentucky’s scenic back roads, maybe take a moment to look at your rearview mirror.

Man on the Move
 | Surround Yourself with Your A-List PeopleDudes, everyone’s got that one friend or person who makes you feel like you could run for president (or at least finally fold your laundry). The trick? Pay attention to who brings out the absolute best version of yourself and treat those folks like your personal VIP section. You are the sum of your influences, not your intentions. |
All the podcasts and self-help books in the world can’t top what happens when you’re around the person who lights a fire under you. Your A-list is the crew who nudge you to level up, not by tearing you down, but by making you want to be better.
Here’s the Move: Notice who leaves you energized, creative, or suddenly believing you can pull off that half-baked idea. Those are your A-list people. Make it a point to spend real time with them. It doesn’t have to be a big thing, grab coffee, catch a game, go for a walk. Every minute spent with the right people counts toward your growth.
Why bother? Because greatness is contagious. When you intentionally invest in relationships with your best supporters and challengers, you stop spinning your wheels and start gaining real traction.
Time with the right people isn't a luxury, it's a strategy. Who is your person (or people)?
