What's IN a LEGACY?  A legacy often thought of as generational wealth or personal property, that is left to future generations.

In t...

What is it that you admire most about the worlds greatest athletes? Is it how fast they move and how hard they grind …. or is it how smooth, natural and effortless they make everything look?

Today's topic that has been a game-changer in my own life:  Redefining the definition of ‘work’ + clarifying what the most important work is. It's a journey I embarked on a few years back when I hit my perfect storm – a time when everything in my business, my body, and my relationships came to a total burndown moment.  For years, I had been ‘working my butt off’, trying to fit more and m...

FOMO. Who doesn’t have it?  Fear. Of. Missing. Out. Oh those opportunities knocking at your door!!  Opportunities to get ahead, to close one more deal, to get that shiny new “toy”, to knock off that extra achievement/win off our list.  Opportunities to “meet the right people”, get in the “right” room, be where the “action” is…  To be liked. To be needed. To be wanted.  FOM...

Most of us have a ton of emotional and mental weight we are carrying around 24/7. You know that elephant that always seems to be sitting on your chest? That thing that feels like the weight of the world.  Here’s the truth; so much of that mental, emotional - and yes - physical weight you’ve been packing on - has nothing to do with needing an extra workout, although that definitely helps.

Last week I was at a leadership conference and I asked a handful of executives the burning question: What keeps you up at night?   What are the things that feel heavy on your heart and weigh you down? The things you just can't seem to let go of? The common answer: “I don't know who I can trust. I don’t know who really has my back” Can I trust my people? Can I trust the people on my team? Can...

What is the best way to make this business decision? What is the best way to handle this business deal? What is the best way to solve this problem, this marriage? The way is often what trips us up and causes the most stress an...

In today's episode, we're talking about being stretched.  Stretched in our capacity to receive… stretched in the reorganization of what we think is POSSIBLE.  How often do we limit ourselves? Limit what we're willing to receive? Limit what we're capable of receiving, based on what we think we can accomplish or do by our own means? We even limit what we ask God for, what we think HE can d...
