A day in the life of Anthony Tashnick

From winning the prestigious Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Contest at the age of 20 to constantly pursuing bigger waves, Anthony Tashnick is catching epic swells. After spending time with Tashnick in Northern California and Pipeline, I enjoyed his courageous and lowkey mentality.

From a young gun perspective, it's fun to watch how his talent is appreciated by big wave surfing legends, including Pete Mel and Tom Carroll.

I wish Tashnick the best and hope to see him compete this year at The Malibu Invitation.

This dude is gnarly. He surfs like a champ and has lots of balls for dropping in some monster waves. I met him at Stanford Hospital after he saved his buddy from drowning at Santa Cruz. I work at Stanford Medical Center helping people find resources to pay for their humongous bill when they don't have any insurance. I had the opportunity to meet him and get his autograph. Really laid back, down to earth kind of guy. My heart goes out to his buddy, Kalani during his recovery. Peace

Don't be afraid, if you are not "qualified."

You'll never know when you're big break will happen.  The secret is to be ready at all times. Last weekend, Matt Williams, a Texas Tech sophomore, won a month of free rent by kicking a 30-yard field goal during a contest at his school's football game. Although Texas Tech is currently ranked #8 in the country, the team has missed six extra point attempts and half of its field goal attempts. Following the contest, Mike Leach, Texas Tech's football coach, approached Williams and asked him to be the team's extra point kicker. Tomorrow, Williams receives his big break and will kick extra points against #19 Kansas. If you have a talent, don't be afraid to share it.  You'll never know who is watching and where it will take you.

Google Analytics 4

As we transition into 2023, one of the biggest digital opportunities marketers have is to confirm Google Analytics 4 (G4) is installed and tracking on all digital entities. 🖥️ 📈 G4 will replace Google's legacy Universal Analytics (UA) and focuses more on event-based actions compared to hit-based actions. G4 features a new dashboard with more customization and access to predictive analytics. 🔎 The migration from UA to G4 is expected to occur in July 2023, where UA will be discontinued. As proactive marketers, we can work to ensure our organizations are prepared. For more insights, view Google's overview here .
