Stepping Down When It’s Best For The Team – The Promise of José Abreu
This week, former MVP baseball player, José Abreu, was sent down to the minor leagues. It may not seem like significant news to a casual observer, as baseball players go minors to majors and back to minors often. Here are articles with ESPN and Yahoo Sports.

I Am Who I Am That is That
This past week I was reintroduced to this most powerful and uplifting song: “I Am Who I Am That is That”. It came on the heels of receiving another round of very hurtful comments, messages, and other difficult things people send me due to my writings, opinions on social media, and leadership roles across […]
Honoring Those Who Helped Us Get There – Shannon Sharpe
I have spent 12 hours today working on outlines, examples, and stories for my next 20 YouTube videos.

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 […]
The Promise To Fail
I stand beneath the Olympic bar, which weighs 45-lbs alone. Slapping plates on each side at 45-lbs each, I’m now up to 135-lbs total. That’s a good deal of weight for a leg 6 months out from surgery. It’s time for a huge PUSH! As I go into my newest version of a squat, not […]
The Cookie Promise
Can you imagine how I felt when I showed up and my presentation had been turned into a COOKIE? What kind of client does this? Only the awesome ones. This experience reminded me of being a kid at the local bakery with my Mom the day before my birthday! My nose to the glass, peering […]
