Invisible UPS Store
Recently I had to return a package, which required a visit to the UPS Store. I have no idea where the UPS Store is, since we’ve lived here for 18 years and I haven’t needed to go there yet. So I Googled it. I was stunned to zoom in on the location and realize it […]
The Weekly Audition
Every Sunday at 7:30 AM, I teach an optional class for teens willing to forfeit sleep for learning. It’s not part of the usual worship schedule but operates in its own unique time slot—a time often criticized for being too early. Yet, it’s a time that, by default, surprisingly works, drawing an average of […]
A Story is a Promise
When I was a kid in high school I received a full ride scholarship for basketball to BYU. I tell this story in my speech, but am taken to a new life journey when Mrs. Hall discovers my singing in the hall, takes me under her wing, CLARIFIES what I had yet to IDENTIFY […]
The Love of Work
At my desk I am slaving away to finish the slides and order I will speak for an upcoming presentation. It is hard work, requiring my mind to churn at an extreme rate, anticipating how the audience may respond and the possible turns speeches can potentially take with a phrase or word, song or comedy […]
The Middle Seat

Taking Calculated Risks

I am thrilled to announce, starting July 25-August 3, 2024, I will be performing a special 2 week run of shows at the world famous Hale Centre Theatre in Sandy, Utah. HCT has never done a One-Man Show like this, and I have never had an opportunity as such, where brands align to bring […]
The Unavailable Barbell
Whether you can tell by looking at me or not, I workout every single day (except Sundays). If you accidentally touch my arm then you’ll know it’s true. Otherwise, just seeing me on stage, you’d never know that I live for the gym and to exercise. I LOVE IT. There’s a very simple move I’ve […]
Million Miler
Last week I received an email from DELTA CEO, Ed Bastian, that brought me both elation and devastation in one line: Jason, Congratulations on One Million Miles! Elation because I have achieved something while chasing my dreams and making a living doing the career that I love. Devastation because it reminded me of how […]
80-hours to China and Back
Hi My Friend. This blog will be short and sweet. Last Tuesday I had an event in Chicago that was awesome. Tomorrow I leave my home at 4 AM to go to Indianapolis for my next event. I have had those booked for quite a while now. And then an opportunity came up that […]
