To See The Game – The Promise Broadcast
My phone rang and I picked up, despite the number not being in my phone. “Hello?” I said “Jason Hewlett, this is the new high school basketball Coach at your son’s school, do you have a minute?” “Yes sir, is everything ok?” I asked. “All is well. I heard you’re the only person who […]

The Cold Shower Dilemma
Scroll through social media and you will likely run into alpha dudes with their shirts off, bulging muscles, jumping out of a barrel of ice water, shouting at you to wake up at 4 AM every day and be manly enough to do the daily cold plunge. Or maybe that’s just in my algorithm. Yours […]
The COVID Test
As I waited for the required 15 minute COVID test to give its results allowing me to join the event I had flown across country to participate in, the sweat began to bead on my forehead. This event was booked 7 months prior. Due to all of the cancelled flights over the holidays, knowing […]

When You’re In The Breadline
In the Depression-era film “Cinderella Man”, we see James Braddock, a once almost champion boxer in the grips of economic failure, his inability to provide for his family through boxing’s trade, humbly brave the infamous breadline while being recognized as the failed boxer. This movie is not for the faint of heart, especially if – […]
What is Your Promise2Lead?
Over the past 2 months I have experienced a true life tragedy within an organization I’ve been a part of for 16 years. A complete loss of trust! An absolute mismanagement of emotions, rumors, deception tearing people of one heart and mind completely apart! Mistakes have been made high and low…and yet, even with […]
