A Night Among the Stars: Our 5th Anniversary at Kitt Peak National Observatory

Posted on November 11, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

Anniversaries are a time for reflection — a chance to look back on where you’ve been and dream about what’s ahead. For our 5th anniversary, we wanted to do something unforgettable, something that would take us out of the everyday and remind us just how small and miraculous this world (and universe) really is. That’s…

Lighting Up Times Square: Why Mental Health Deserves the Biggest Stage of All

Posted on November 8, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

When I decided to bring mental health awareness to the big screen in Times Square, people asked me, “Why there? Why spend so much?” My answer was simple—because there is no price tag on saving a life. There’s no cost too high for a message that might stop someone from ending their story too soon….

The Sandwich Approach: Serving Up Feedback Without the Burn

Posted on November 7, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

If there’s one universal truth in management, it’s that delivering feedback can feel a lot like defusing a bomb — one wrong word and boom, there goes morale for the week. Early in my career, I used to think the best approach was just to be “honest and direct.” Turns out, “honest and direct” sounds a…

Clear Skies and Jet Trails: My Visit to the Udvar-Hazy Control Tower

Posted on November 4, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

It wasn’t originally on my itinerary. I had planned my trip to Washington D.C. last year with the usual patriotic hits — Smithsonian museums, the National Mall, cherry blossoms if I could catch them. But somewhere between planning my Metro routes and booking a monument night tour, a friend texted: “Don’t skip the Udvar-Hazy Center. Trust…

From Dream Cars to Handmade Legends: How I Ended Up in a Lotus Emira (And Why You Should Too)

Posted on November 4, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

Let me just start with this: I love cars. Not in the casual, “Oh yeah, I like fast cars” kind of way — but in the kind of way that results in owning 27 of them. Yes. Twenty. Seven. I’ve basically lived in a permanent test drive for the last decade or so. It all…

Baptized in Regret — My Journey into Music, Healing, and Hope

Posted on November 4, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

I never thought I’d release a music album. To be honest, I never even planned on writing one. But life has a funny way of handing you pain and then, if you’re lucky, offering you a melody to carry it. This album — Baptized in Regret — was born out of a very personal place. It’s not…

Why Writing Music Helps Me Cope With Life’s Woes

Posted on November 3, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

There’s something about the quiet that always used to scare me — those long stretches of silence where your thoughts take center stage and the weight of everything you’re trying to ignore comes crashing through like a wave. For years, I didn’t quite know how to process what I was carrying: memories, trauma, anxiety, confusion, even faith….

Melodies of My Mistakes: How Music Helped Me Heal What Church Couldn’t

Posted on November 3, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

There are pieces of my past I used to keep buried so deep, I almost convinced myself they didn’t exist. But pain has a funny way of echoing — especially when it’s never been truly acknowledged. For me, that pain has a name: Wapping Community Church. When I was younger, I sought belonging, truth, and…

How Music Helps Me Find Myself (One Trail Run at a Time)

Posted on November 3, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

After a long day — emails, meetings, unexpected curveballs, and the weight of everything in between — there’s one thing that helps me feel like me again: music. Not just background noise, not just something to fill the silence, but intentional, soul-filling music. I love walking or running the trail behind our property, where the trees sway…

The Hidden Scars of Bullying: A Story of Lasting Impact and Hope

Posted on November 3, 2025May 31, 2026 by Justin Calabrese

Bullying doesn’t always end with the school bell. For many, it begins in childhood classrooms and follows them into the workplace, leaving scars that are not always visible. Imagine a student, bright and eager, slowly withdrawing after classmates mock the way they dress or speak. Over time, that same child grows into an adult who faces…
