The CK Daily – Balance Life & Enjoy the Journey
Life with two young teenagers in multiple sports is a constant juggling act. Weekdays are a blur of early mornings, packing lunches, making sure bags are packed, car rides to and from practices, games, and school. Weekends aren’t much different; they’re just busier for us, with games and tournaments all over the Southeast. Add in the emotional highs and lows of teenage life, the pep talks, the tough conversations, the late-night homework crisis, and it’s a full-time job all on its own. Not to mention there’s everything else: a career, a house that doesn’t clean itself, bills to pay, meals to cook, laundry… SOS!
One of our core values at CK is ‘Balance Life & Enjoy the Journey’.
Balancing life and enjoying the journey is so important, as an employee going on 16 years here, I can’t think of many times where I’ve had to miss important events for my kids from doctor’s appointments, carpools catching up on their days, simply being there whenever they need me. That flexibility doesn’t make life less full, but it does make it more meaningful. It gives space to be present, not just physically, but emotionally, for the things that matter most. That kind of freedom is priceless when you’re raising kids who grow up faster than you expect. The days are long, but the years are short, and being able to show up for them, even in small ways, is invaluable.
Enjoy your week!

Learning Center Article – What is a Cat8 Ethernet Cable and How is it Different?
A Cat8 Ethernet cable represents the most modern, fastest Ethernet cable standard available today. Although Google tried to make fiber optics the standard for home internet connections, Ethernet has maintained a presence, and every few years new iterations are released that offer better performance.
Today’s News to Start Your Day:
- As AI becomes part of daily life, psychiatrists are flagging a new concern: “AI psychosis.” The condition is marked by paranoia, distorted thoughts, or delusions triggered by interactions with chatbots. Warning signs include social withdrawal, neglect of self-care, and rising anxiety—adding that professional help should be sought if these patterns emerge.
- Google may be gearing up to refresh its Nest lineup with four new products: indoor and outdoor cams, a doorbell, and a smart speaker. The cameras could see 2K resolution, 6x zoom, and even Gemini-powered features, while the new doorbell may introduce “Daily Summaries.”
- AT&T is set to acquire wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar for about $23 billion, boosting its fiber and 5G build-out across 400+ U.S. markets. The move strengthens AT&T’s low- and mid-band spectrum holdings, while EchoStar will expand Boost Mobile under a new hybrid MNO agreement.
- Pumpkin spice is back — along with Dunkin’s new Cereal N’ Milk drinks. But a dietitian warns the Coolatta version has sky-high sugar (93g in a small!). For a lighter option, stick with the latte.
