The Signature Moves of Christmas

The Honor of Service: Officer David Romrell
This past week I performed at an event every day. Decembers are like that. However, this December has been different. A few corporate dates sprinkled in between some very heart-wrenching charity work and service. It is a privilege to be asked to lift the wounded through music, laughter, and message. Yet it can […]
John B. Hewlett, Legendary Performer
In June 2018 I had the unique opportunity to speak to the Million Dollar Round Table with over 15,300 in the audience in Los Angeles, CA. I had submitted my name for 17 years to get on their stage and it finally happened. What the audience didn’t realize is that I was very familiar […]

The Amazing Gifts of Family
As the crowd stood and cheered for my daughter’s dancing, and then my boys’ ventriloquist act, Mommy and I beamed with true joy. To watch our little ones succeed, be amazing, and appreciated by others for their efforts and willingness to share their talents is quite the thrill. Let’s ask ourselves: How do we, […]
The Promise to Our Nation
Happy 4th of July and celebration of The Promise to our Country & Nation. What is your promise as a citizen of the United States of America? The other day I cried my eyes out in utter joy watching the new documentary film of my childhood hero, Mr. Rogers, in the movie about his […]
The Olympics of Speaking: MDRT 2018
“What is the biggest event you can get if you’re a corporate speaker?”, is a question I am often asked by those not in my industry. The answer has always been MDRT, The Million Dollar Round Table. Their conference is “The Olympics” for a speaker like me. I just came off stage from […]
