Welcome!
A home for my writings on life and leadership
Of all the gin joints in all the world, you’ve joined me here.
Thank you.
I’m Hans. I’m married to Courtney, and together we are raising three boys. I’m a pastor by day, I moonlight as a leadership and executive coach (Leader Care Network), and I write here while continuing a memoir called You Talk Too Much about my failures as a young (and then old) husband.
Why here? Why Now?
I have maintained two areas of interest over the years: (1) making fun of how absurd my life appears and (2) sharing about my growing thoughts on leadership of all kinds. Often, these worlds intersect closely and consistently. I try and find that intersection each time I post.
At times, Courtney joins, but often she’s behind the scenes editing. She edits almost anything you see here. We’re a good team. If you’re lucky, she makes a guest appearance or even provides some audio commentary.

The memoir has completed its first draft! Courtney is coming behind and making her edits. I’m coming behind her and making more. Teamwork makes the dream work. Pre-order now (which doesn’t exist).
What’s your role?
Engage. I want you to be a part of the conversation. I reply to everything I can—and I prioritize speed with it. I want you to reply to posts, talk with me, and let me know how I can serve you. You can also find me on Twitter/X (again, after years).
Subscribe. That matters the most. I post weekly and I want to post in ways that serve the most people. Help me keep that going by joining the team.
Share. Be it the publication or a post that matters to you, sharing the meaningful posts with those close to you is the biggest sign I’m making an impact.
That’s it!
Glad you’re here, and I hope to see you soon.






You know I’m reading all of this! Googer wisdom is always profound and long lasting. The laughing anyway! ❤️
