The Lost Ring – Listening is a Superpower
This past week my sons and I went with a group of boys from our Church to ride the rapids in the Portneuf River, in Lava Hot Springs, ID. By rapids I mean the equivalent of blowing bubbles in the milk of your cereal bowl. This might be the tamest, most pleasant river rafting […]
The Importance of Audience Feedback
For the past 15 months I have not been able to rely on audience feedback to confirm if I did a job well or not from my Virtual Zoom Home Studio. For the first 3 months of the pandemic, every event planner wanted no Chat feature open, nor the cameras on attendees, so I had […]
My Best Friend
20 years ago I married my Best Friend. I always wondered what it would be like to hit one of those Anniversary milestones, and this feels like one, although some have said, “20? That’s nothing! Try 50!” Hahaha. I will love that, too. I imagined how much we’d still like each other at 20 […]
When You Are Under-Utilized
I don’t EVER recall in my career being hired to NOT: Be Funny Sing Do Impressions Do Parodies Share a Message They just wanted me to bring people to stage, introduce their needs clearly, and keep it all on time. That’s it! Have you ever been under-utilized? This is a first of its kind experience […]
Dealing with The Haters
Dealing with The Haters. How do you go about it? Pulling back the curtain for a moment here to go inside what’s behind a normal social media post…. Emotionally there’s always an initial sting to upload a video and then the next day see there are 8 views for your effort. 1 Like and […]
Ready To Buy
This past week I pulled up at the FORD Dealership and calmed my nerves. Knowing I was walking in the door in the next minute, I was the equivalent of a wiry wildebeest going for a swim in a lake full of crocodiles. You know the feeling if you’ve ever been interested in a certain […]
LIVE & 1,000+ In-Person Events Are Back!
This past week I spent multiple days onsite for an event over a year in the planning that refused to go Virtual. They knew they were taking a risk. But they planned and executed their mission right. It was them Keeping The Promise To The Audience! It was my first flight to an event in […]
The Video Book is Finally Available!
The Time Has Come – The VIDEO BOOK of “The Promise To The One” IS FINALLY HERE! Backstory: At the end of February 2020, just before the world turned, the U.S. shut down with the pandemic, and all of my events were canceled as all went into quarantine, I flew across the country to […]
Remove The Old Debris in Our Lives
Pandemic Garage Syndrome. That’s what we can call it. Have you found yourself drowning in clutter, as we have? It’s not that we bought a ton of items, quite the contrary. During the pandemic we hunkered down, digging into every little corner of our house, restarting projects we’d meant to do for years, pulling […]
The Las Vegas Strip
Have you been to The Strip in Las Vegas? Unless you’re used to walking down the streets of New York City or Tokyo, The Strip in Las Vegas is a serious shock to the system for anyone. Energy. Volume. Lights. People. Some craziness…or, lots of craziness. I mean, heck, what is The Signature Move […]
