US Military Airplane Seat Story
I posted this the other day on Facebook and LinkedIn and it was quite the popular post, being shared by many supporters of our US Military. The only reason I posted it was to say Thank You to those who serve & protect, and to remind others we have a Promise to do what we […]
Thank You RootsTech
This past Saturday morning I thought I was simply introducing the world’s greatest ukulele player, Jake Shimabukuro, and then closing out the final session as Emcee of RootsTech, the largest genealogy conference on the planet. However, as I settled in to gather my thoughts for the words I might say in half an hour […]
Your 2019 New Years Resolutions (Come March…)
Who is still hitting the gym by March? Come on my friend, you’ve got this! New Years Resolutions are usually dead and gone come the first week of March. In January there is literally never a spot at the gym parking lot, come March I can drive right into the lobby it’s so empty. […]
Legendary Leadership: Who is The Heart of Your Team?
The Superbowl was a few weeks ago. Certainly not a nail-biter and with a fairly predictable outcome. What I love most about the spectacle that is this event are the stories which come forth that warm the heart and inspire greater commitment to team, turning co-workers into family members we care for and recognize. […]
The Choice Between
2 Mondays ago we welcomed the newest member to our family, a beautiful, excited, chew everything, diarrhea everywhere, happy Goldendoodle 8-week old pup. His name is Buster Silvermine Bojangles Dude Hewlett. We love him. As we got all set up, after a trip to the store to buy a kennel, bed, and chew toys, […]
The Promise: Raising Legendary Leaders
The other day a man took my order at a restaurant. When I began to speak his eyes widened and he said, excitedly, “You’re Jason Hewlett! You came to my school when I was in 3rd grade. That was the best assembly of my life!” Looking at his full grown beard, head balding, and […]
Feel Good Promise Stories to Begin 2019
Welcome to the New Year! Always a beautiful time to reflect on the past, commit to the present, prepare for an amazing future. Throughout the Holiday Season it was fun to gather a few stories that will touch your heart and will also help bring home the value of a Promise that is relatable to […]
Thank You 2018
As you look back on 2018 may I make a recommendation? Some of us will say, “Yeah baby! That was awesome!” Others of us will say, “Holy heavens, I can’t believe it’s over. Bring on a New Year!” Wherever you stand, know that sometimes the most important thing we can think are simply thoughts […]
The Signature Moves of Christmas
When you think of the word “Christmas” what comes to mind? When I was kid it was way different than it is now. As a kid it was – What am I going to get? How much am I going to get? What is the latest I can go to bed and Santa will […]
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 […]
