Hi, my name is Ed Kalaher. I’m a father, a son, an entrepreneur and a student…and I’m determined to live my BEST life. In fact, an exceptional life.
But like many, I struggle. I struggle to maintain my positive rituals. I get off track, I get discouraged…you know, right?
This blog helps me, and I hope that it might help you too.
I believe we all enter periods of reflection. Times where we take stock of our life. And I believe that a daily ritual, a simple shift in our point of view or perspective, can produce incredible transformation. The choice is ours.

Jed: Oil Tycoon and Green Energy Advocate
Today's political debates around fossil fuels and green energy remind me of a story about my friend, a man named Jed. Jed was born and raised in West Virginia...some called him a genuine Mountaineer. He grew up poor, and as an adult, he could barely keep his family...
