Well I’ve now been in the Triangle are for almost 2 weeks and I’ve been in my new apartment for about 7 days. I came here not fully knowing what to expect and I left my family and all my stuff back in OH, where we’d been living for the past 6 months. It’s going to be another 2 weeks before my wife, daughter and all my stuff come down to NC. I’m going up to get them on the 27th. I came here with a lightly packed... 

As I’ve mentioned in the past couple days, I’ve moved to Cary, NC to pursue my business full time. One of the things I need to take the next step however is a facility. Up til this point HPC has been largely run without a facility. We’ve had an office in Cali, and some agreements with several universities to allow us to use their athletic facilities but we’ve never had a centralized training facility to call our own.... 

For some reason I save and published this but it got lost or over-written. Oh well. Let me try to replicate… Unless you’ve been in a hole for the past week you know that the economy is in a terrible place and people are losing their jobs left and right. Some of the numbers that President Obama gave in his address last night were just mind blogging. Check out this graph as an example: The numbers are staggering. Unemployment rates... 

Yesterday I had my second meeting with the GM of Impact Athletic Center. It went extremely well. Today I signed a lease for my apartment and moved in. I’ve even gotten half way through changing all my billing and contact info to my new address. What does this all mean? It means I’m ‘all in’ as they say in Poker. I’m fully committed. There’s no turning back. Any more cliches I can use? There are still some...

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been actively looking for a place to live in the Triangle area. Somehwhere that was nice, reasonably priced and close to any of the number of places it looked like I may be establishing HPC in the Raleigh / Cary / Apex areas. I’d been checking out all the major apartment listing sites including Craigslist to find an apartment that would work. Well, last week I happened to be looking at Craigslist and... 

2 days ago I took another trip to Raleigh. The goal was to check out some plan B options in the event that my original partnership didn’t work out and find a place to live so I could fully relocate. Yesterday morning I had a meeting with the general manager of Impact Athletic & Fitness Center in Cary, NC. The meeting went great. The company is mainly a health club right now but wants to really get in to sports performance. They... 

Tomorrow I’m heading back to North Carolina. This time however may be more than the visit that I took 3 weeks ago to check out a facility and discuss a potential partnership. When I left 3 weeks ago, it seemed like things were finally moving along and I’d be setup ‘any day now.’ I had looked up the facility on google maps and couldn’t stop thinking about what I wanted to do with it. But as I’ve mentioned...
