  “Hi TJ”, I said casually, loud enough for her to hear me over the roar of the shuttle. TJ The Shuttle Driver looked in the overhead mirror, and then as if stunned, craned her head over in my direction, nearly losing control of the shuttle as we turned the final corner in the Salt Lake Airport Parking Lot. “HEYYYYYYY!!!!” she yelped with a huge grin.  “It’s YOU!  How the heck are ya man?” I asked, “You remember me?” She laughed, “Well heck yeah, you made me famous!  You know my co-workers found that video of you telling the story about me and they watch it all the time.  It’s hilarious.  You tell that story about me on stage still?”  “Why yes, in fact, I am just returning home from overseas where I told an audience about you and your incredible way with inspiring others by keeping The Promise.  You’re the ultimate example for people worldwide that know you”, I assured. “Wow, I can’t believe it.  I mean I really appreciate it.  I’m just being me, ya know?” she said, humbly. “I know, that’s the beauty of what you do.  Just being yourself, with an unmistakable ability to lead and

The Rebel & The Promise

  A little over a week ago I sat at my home office desk and wrote a letter, with tears in my eyes, to my family. It was to be my final thoughts, hopes, and dreams for them. I left it in my desk drawer to be found in case I never returned home from the longest trip I’ve ever taken. Not sure if you’ve had those sobering reality-check thoughts and fears in anticipation of your travels, but they go through my mind on occasion. This time it was due to my first trip to Malaysia, flights over oceans, in countries I’d yet to travel. Obviously I’m now home, having traveled in air some 60 hours, only to spend a quick 48 hours on the ground in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia itself, a roundtrip to crush all others and my mettle for airline survival from Saturday to Wednesday.  Wow.  Crazy. Why would I share such an intimate detail into my psyche with you?  My deepest fears, concerns, and worries which we all want no one to think we ever have? Because writing this letter to my family was a time for reflection and I had but one testament for them, and

What Are You Worth?

Over the past 2 weeks I have received, no lie, over 10 requests for events from local businesses asking essentially the same question: “What is the lowest you can do your speech / show for our company’s most important event?”  I understand everyone wants a deal.  Heck, I WANT A DEAL for everything I want, and am unwilling to pay for, as well. However, I’ve NEVER walked into the finest restaurant in town and said to the Hostess, “Hey, real quick, before you seat us, we know this place is like $200 per person, but we are looking to get this lavish meal for somewhere in the $12.50 range.  I’m assuming you’ll pull out all the stops for us, since we’re a pretty big deal and it may land you some opportunities in the future when we tell our people about you.”  I mean, that sounds absurd. Or better yet, how about going to the best lawyer, dentist, tailor, or doctor in town and having that conversation? My friend, here’s the real question: What are you WORTH?  In your own mind?  In your market?  At your hourly wage?  Professionally, not spiritually, we are talking numbers here, so be frank. I

The Mentor You’re Meant to Be

  This weekend is the NCAA Final Four Tournament, the teams in basketball that have fought to the finish and survived! Today, Sunday, April 7, 2019, one of the world’s greatest mentors will be honored for a lifetime achievement honor. Coach Tony Ingle has been named National Coach of the Year several times throughout multiple divisions of college basketball,  he has won championships at every level, and now receives what he deems the highest honor of his career: 2019 Guardians of the Game Award for Advocacy My story with Coach Ingle runs deep, and begins back in high school when I attended the BYU summer camp, where he was the assistant coach and most entertaining and motivating force I’d ever seen. By my 2nd year at the camp, Coach Ingle took me aside, as all others were playing and jockeying for his attention.  Sitting in the gym as sneakers squeaked and sweat filled the air, he put his arm around me, looked me square in the eye, and profoundly altered my perception of myself. “Son, you have a gift.  You are one of the most talented, unique individuals I have ever met.  “You have not been blessed with God given
