So……I had written something close to this in a different medium, but thought it was way to relevant at this point in my journey to pass up. As I pondered the decision to start this blog, I came up with a multitude of topics for my first blog post where I would come crashing onto the scene, spitting out knowledge left and right and take the Fitness, Family, Life, and Leadership blog world by storm. Then, I realized that, although many of my followers at this point are friends and family, most followers are people that I have not personally kept in close touch with over the past couple years and at this point in my life, they really have no idea who the hell I am or what I am up to these days. Here’s a little glimpse to get us started:

Personally, I absolutely THRIVE on my family being the center of my world and making sure that my wife and three kids have every single opportunity to live the absolute best life that I can give them. When not being a husband and/or dad, I stay plenty busy playing baseball and softball during the summers and snowboarding during the winters (which, we get plenty of here in Wisconsin).

Professionally, my main passion lies in innovating against the norm, taking the “can’t", “won’t", and “it’s always been done this way" and using that to motivate innovation and a culture of new thought! More often that not, this motivation turns into new, cutting edge solutions that are innovative by nature and functional by design.

With that being said, getting back to the original question:

24/7, Daddy!

By day, I am Jesse Dickert, Enterprise Software Manager for Rehrig Pacific Company where my team and I strive to bring as much innovation as possible to our solution on the Salesforce.com Platform. We find unique ways to utilize the platform to solve each and every business need that is brought in front of us.

By night, I am know as Maverick, Co-Founder and President, Technology Services of 2point4ward, LLC where my counterpart Goose (shoutout Jared Petrie!) and I thrive on creativity as it relates to all aspects of the business. Stay lean, stay creative, and thrive by innovation. (http://www.2point4ward.com/)

By even later at night and most other free time, I again return to Jesse Dickert form and am the Project Leader - Innovation for the Trulight Project where we are designing innovative data-driven protection solutions designed to combat (and ultimately end) C.A.T. (Child Abduction and Trafficking). (http://tru-light.com/)

AND, as if that wasn’t crazy enough — as part of this journey, I recently became a Legionnaire for 1stPhorm where I have been studying and learning more and more about the best supplements in the world. (https://1stphorm.com/easton21jd) More to come on this as I continue through this journey…...

PHEW!!!! — for those of you that I have not stayed in touch with as closely as I would have liked to over the years, this should provide a pretty good update. You will definitely get to know much more about me as this journey continues.

As part of this blog I will be talking about meeting your goals in the areas of Fitness, Family, Life, and Leadership while eliminating excuses along the way. As you can see, I keep myself busy personally/professionally and definitely have the avenue to make excuse after excuse to not get things done and ultimately not reach my goals. Hopefully, through my trials and errors, we can learn some lessons and work towards all our goals together and really start kicking some ASS.
