I learn more and more about this blogging thing all of the time. The most recent thing I learned about is the need for certain disclosures. That being said, here it is.

This blog is not primarily financially driven. I started it to build a community and to share what I am learning as I continue to grow as a husband, father, and leader.

Regardless, beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to disclose whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.  So here goes…

Per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to disclose this. The same holds true if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place. This would be tedious for me and even more tedious for readers. But rules are rules. To cover my rear and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every link and product I use, the following all hold true:

Nothing on this page is original to me. Tim Ferriss is kind enough to let other bloggers use the wording from his disclosure page (found at: https://tim.blog/ftc-disclosure-blog/). I certainly want to thank him for not making us reinvent the wheel, and I want to give credit where it is due. I did change a few words to fit my personality, but overwhelmingly, I stole this from Tim Ferriss.
