The story of my sweet Nora. The story of our heartache that became the story of our why. 7.31.19 - The welcoming of a sweet baby girl, Nora Blake. The day I became a father, one of the most special days of my life. A day I was looking forward to for so long! She was born absolutely perfect! Our first months as parents were amazing. My wife played basketball at Butler and I am a huge Colts fan, so we took Nora everywhere. We really believed the mindset of us not changing our life but rather bringing Nora with us to the things we enjoyed. Nora was the CUTEST little baby, so calm, so happy and observant. While Nora did have a delay in acknowledgement, never mimicked us, laugh much and had a slight stare to hear eyes, we never suspected much. One day, Bri and I (Nora in my lap) were sitting on our front porch, a common spot for us, Nora had some odd bodily movements, slight collapse may be the way to put it. Then one night as we were getting ready for bed, more movement sparked. Odd stares and her arms flaring up for a moment or two. We knew something was off. We consult with our doctor and then had to take Nora to Riley Hospital for an EEG Brain Scan, an overnight stay with Nora hooked up with roughly 40+ wires to her brain. It’s Covid at the time so only one parent could attend and with Bri breastfeeding, I was the odd one out. This was one of the hardest days/nights of my life. I felt helpless, scared and in no control of the situation. Nora came home 24 hrs later and our lives were never the same. Nora was born with a genetic abnormality called Dup15Q and those movements were seizures, infantile spasms to be direct. For the next 24 hour months, Bri and I feel never broke eye sight with Nora. These seizures aren’t what you see in the movies, they’re so subtle but so devastating to witness and even more to her brain development. Worst part about it, there is no solution aside from trial and error. First with steroids, Nora ballooned up, then another medication, then another and another. At one time Nora was on 4 different seizure medications. Nora’s brain is firing all day long and then mixing these medications made her so sluggish, almost sedated. Broke our hearts to see our little girl suffer. I would hold my little while seizing 15+ times a day, some as long as 20-30 seconds and there was nothing I could do… We started to get control of the seizures and we’re able to get down to only one medication, but the challenges didn’t start there. Nora was only able to play on her back at almost two years old, couldn’t roll over, couldn’t sit up. Nora only laughed twice in the first two years of her life, because of her abnormality. Bri and I mental health, physical health plummeted through this. We were crushed, stressed beyond belief and crying all the time. We lost friends, support from family all because our little girl was suffering and few crossed the line of trying to understand what we were experiencing. While bri and I grew closer together, there were times we felt we had no one else in our circle. Here is where the story takes a turn. One thing people will know about Bri and I, are that we are fucking hustlers and beyond resilient. Place a bet on us and we will make it happen. We get Nora everything we could give her to improve her quality of life. PT, OT, Speech, you name it, we’ve tried. I took Nora to Nashville, TN for a 3 week intensive therapy. I raised over 25k from a bourbon raffle to offer her more than we could ever dream of giving her. Fast forward to today. Nora is a DARLING ANGEL. For those who have the luxury to meet her, she sees only the best in others. She will greet you with the deepest hug you’ll ever have received, enough to stop you and make you think twice about what love feels like. Nora teaches you about patience. As a little girl, now 4, who is non verbal, limited mobility (she can crawl), her needs can’t be met with a world of chaos.

It’s wild how easy it is to build a new business these days. Name EIN Product Dev Product Manufacturing Website All in an evenings work while watching College Football.

Implementing 100+ pushups during the work day. Ive neglected pushups for a long time. Going to grow that number to 250 in two weeks.

I have a vision of an event that could be bigger than anything I could have imagined. Sitting with the idea. Communicating it to my family. Brainstorming the impact. Will formally announce when I’m ready. Here’s a teaser.

Play offense with your schedule. Here is what that looks like for me today. I have: - 30 Minute Opening - followed by a 30 Minute Internal Call - followed by a 30 Minute Opening I’ll be going on a 60 Minute Ruck. I’ll leave 15-20 minutes to clean up and get ready for my next call.

Become the man/father who can do it all. Learn to cook. Find peace within himself. Become an athlete again. Run point on family logistics. Know the details of your family. Don’t let yourself settle and become lazy. Your wife and kids are observing you. They deserve it. You deserve it.

If you don’t/can’t take care of yourself, you won’t/can’t take care of others. You will fail and fall short. Level yourself up by making the Next One Right Action.

@themattbank Best thing we’ve done over the years.

I’ve been outsourcing my gym. I really like my gym. But in 2026, we are bringing back the Bank Gym. My kids need to be working out with me and/or my wife as much as possible.

@themattbank They’re local here in Indy, picked them up a few times during busy seasons. I like them - calories could be a bit higher imo (avg around 350-450) however convenient.

@LoganTurner317 Let me know if those are good!

Purchased 21 Meals for $187 to cover Lunch and Dinner for both my wife and I this week. Increase in grocery spend results in decrease time and effort I spend in the kitchen cooking. Less decisions I have to make in my day. Increase in time spent doing things I enjoy like playing with my kids vs cooking dinner, or going for a run vs prepping lunch. Forecast of my macros in check 100% ROI for me and my wife. I honestly don’t stress that this could likely be prepped for under 75$.

100% chance I leave with one of these every time I step foot in a grocery store.

@KevinJohnMartin It really is. I still grocery shop, for the kids as well as prepping extra proteins (I top these meals off with extra) but the decision fatigue is real. Grab and go is the way.

@LoganTurner317 I made this same mindset shift mid-2025. I was wasting hours on Sunday going to the grocery store, meal prepping, etc. Or for the small incremental price of $50-100 bucks, I could have convenient healthy meals that nail my macros without thinking. Honestly, it's a no brainer..

Easter egg for you nosy folks - 100% I have a sample Teams Meeting open. All about the details and aesthetics both for myself and the background virtually.

Big time office upgrades over the holiday break. - Slat Wall - Nora Decor (gifts from Bri) - Smaller Desk = less clutter - Added Greenery, this is a converted workshop in our garage so no windows Still need to finish up the cable management and tweak some lighting but stoked with the turn out.

Big “hack” for me heading into the New Year… Mondays are double days. Both Run and Lift. Start strong and reduce room for scheduling slip ups. My goal right now is 3x Runs + 3x Lifts per week. One buffer day.

Wanting to pick up journaling this year but not sure where to start? Try this. Journaling is masculine, don’t let others fool you. -> Begin your journal with your themes for the timeline set (Year / Month / Week) -> Then list “The Big 3” Area of Focus for the same timeline. ->List out all days of the Month you’re starting and capture at least one memory for each day. -> Have a section for creative thoughts to live. ->Have a Notes section and followed by a Review section for the timeline you’re capturing. For me, I’m capturing my thoughts, metrics and review over a week span. Then run free! It doesn’t need to be hard for time consuming. I jot down ideas and notes periodically throughout the week and do my weekly review and reflection on Sunday. Find what works for you! This is the framework we operate under in LifeMomentum.

Alarm set for 5 so I can secure some Sunday morning me time. Dylan starts crying at 4:50. Not going to lie, little frustrated as my me time is being tapped in to. But that feeling is dismissed by the time I stand up. Warm the bottle, get the little back to bed and it’s 5:26. Now I’ve got two wins in me. Secured me time. Served the family needs. Wife didn’t even know she woke up. Small wins like this build momentum for me.
