You may have noticed there are very few commercial breaks in my stories. That’s intentional.
Even though I’ve spent nearly my entire life in marketing, the only commercials I ever really enjoyed were during the Super Bowl. And even those have slowly lost their appeal. As the years move along, I’ve made a conscious decision to reduce almost all television — including the Super Bowl — not because it isn’t entertaining, but because my priorities have shifted.
I’d rather invest my time and attention in projects that genuinely help others.
Along the way, a few people have noticed what’s happening here and have asked to partner with me to help share products and services they believe in. One example is my first international sponsor, DoNotAge, a research-based company out of the UK that values longevity and healthy living — values that align naturally with this mission.
While I promise to keep affiliate links limited and intentional, I also want to be transparent and compliant. So here it is, plainly and honestly:
Transparency Note
Some links here are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase — at no extra cost to you. I only recommend what I truly believe in. Your support helps keep this mission going, and I’m grateful.
Regular programming resumes tomorrow.
Thank you for supporting the people and companies who choose to support this mission — one rooted in faith, health, purpose, and love. Have a great day, friends.
Captain’s Addendum
Spock: “Doctor, the captain appears to be disclosing a financial relationship with notable restraint.”
Bones: “That’s called honesty, Spock. Humans tend to appreciate it.”
Spock: “Logical. Transparency reduces suspicion and strengthens trust.”
Bones: “Careful — you’re starting to sound like you respect people.”
Spock: “Respect is irrelevant. Trust, however, is highly efficient.”
Bones: “I’ll take that as progress.”
Michael’s Reflection:
Integrity matters. If something doesn’t align with my values or serve others well, it doesn’t belong here. My goal has never been to sell — only to serve. Transparency keeps the mission clean and the compass true.
Scripture for the Journey
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” — Proverbs 10:9
Thank you for walking alongside me. May this simple moment of honesty remind you that clarity builds trust, and trust creates space for grace to do its quiet, powerful work.
