The goal is simple; generate $1,000 per month, every month of “passive” income through my own business efforts.  $1,000 per month is not a ton of money but it could be enough to create margin in your finances each month. With a goal to create this “passively” that still leaves time to go out each month and create a larger sum actively through business efforts.    Tune in to this episode to hear wh...

Johnny, and by proxy JohnnyBoy, is going through a season of rebirth. Right now everything is new and changing, which lends to new opportunities that require a new approach.  It is the Year of Reset after all. In this episode I share how I am moving in this new season and offer suggestions how you might do the same.   I hope something here will help you on your journey. If anything resonates with...

In continuing with assigning a theme to my overall year 2026 is The Year of Reset.  This theme came to me at the end of 2025 when I realized I would be rebuilding my life and my business from [what felt like] nothing. Every aspect of my world needed a refresh, a facelift, an upgrade, a reset. The idea of approaching every decision as a reset from your old way of existing is something that resonate...

The year 2025 brought so much change into my life. When I look back over the year as a whole I remember a lot of hurt and disappointment, but also a lot of growth and healing and learning. For me it really was the year of new opportunities.  I went into the year of 2025 with the mindset of being open to new opportunities, of looking for and accepting them as they came into my world. I would repeat...

In 2023 I began putting themes to my overall upcoming year. A guiding idea of how I would operate throughout that year and what filter I would use when making decisions and taking aligned actions.  2024 was The Year of Events and 2025 was The Year of New Opportunities. Both years saw massive growth in my mindset, my business moves, and my connections because I would constantly ask myself "Wha...

Early 2025 I forgot I am a creator, but by the end of the year I had found that joy again and tapped back into the gift of creating. As we move into the new year I want to remind you of that gift, and the power you have within you right now to pursue the life you want to live this year and every day moving forward.  This is part 1 in a short series about being Locked In for 2025, enjoy! Check out...

Moving into the new year I am committed to being intentional with my marketing efforts when it comes to my products and services. This means I need to look at what I have been doing (not much in recent years), what I haven't been doing (being consistent), what I need to continue, and what I need to stop.  I sat down and did an audit of my marketing over the past 2 years and came to the conclu...

The weekend following Mr Olympia I went to Los Angeles California to take part in Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion . This would be my 5th time volunteering backstage with Art Hearts Fashion and it was one of the best shows I have been part of, including 2 I attended as part of the audience.  Walking in backstage was like a mini family reunion; seeing all of the staff, photog...

Coming out of 2024 The Year of Events I had to decide what I wanted the theme of 2025 to be. After much thought, prayer, and introspective it became clear something big would be on the horizon for my life. Putting that into action, and backing it up with belief the entire way, I decided the theme for 2025 would be The Year of New Opportunities . I knew I would be looking for new opportunities ever...

2024 was the first year I themed for my life; I called it The Year Of Events .  After years of FOMO I decided I would take action, and committed to attend the events in 2024. Despite whatever would come up, I would not let myself talk myself out of attending something I knew I wanted to be at.  I put together a plan, started using Notion to track the events , and got out from behind a keyboard to...

I have mentioned in a number of previous episodes being Locked-In for the remainder of the year. In this episode I want to outline exactly what that looks like and what I am focused on for the rest of 2025. This episode is also to encourage you to put this into practice as well, to focus on accomplishing your own goals before the year is over, to get yourself Locked-In to your future.  Ups and dow...

Karma and Simba were huge parts of my life over the past 2 years, and since losing them in March and April I have felt their absents deeply. Soon after loosing Simba I wrote a letter to the doggie day care I got him from and in this episode of the podcast I want to share that letter with you. Why? Because life is what happens between your plans, and life hit me hard this year taking my 2 dogs. Pre...

In early 2023 I received advice around shutting down JohnnyBoy Studios, placing everything under construction, and relaunching bigger and better than before.  Well I did the first part, I shut everything down or let it die out in 2023.  Since then I have not pursued relaunching because it was " never the right time " and I always had " one more thing " to do or more important t...

Over the years I have launched many different creative projects on many different platforms, and often I would create an email address and landing page for each.  SoCal Live Music Review , 75 Hard Daily , & JohnnyBoy Studios to name a few. This led to me having many email inboxes, landing pages, hosting, URLs, etc. and trying to manage it all. In 2023 I shut down most of these pages in the pro...

Life is what happens between your carefully laid plans, and the first 8 months of 2025 have definitely been full of life. Ups, downs, transitions, celebrations, disappointments, and more. Life.  In this episode I want to walk you through what has been going on in my world over the course of the year so far in order to set the stage for what comes next. This is the first in a series of episodes out...

Something I heard almost all of 2024 was the viewpoint that starting something new was equal to starting over, and starting over from zero. As we move into the new year can we be done with this limiting belief??  I know we may not ever fully eliminate it from our own internal operating systems, but I will be the first to tell you starting over doesn't mean starting over.  You go with you. See...

This year (2024) I am opting out of Black Friday.

I'd love to hear from you. Subscribe on YouTube, join my mailing list , or send me an email!

I once heard someone say “Who you are will set you free” and I fully believe that.    It has taken me a while to come to terms with this, but when you stop running from what sets you apart and instead embrace it, so much good can come into your life. Your unique advantage is what sets you apart.    Chances are good your unique advantage has followed you throughout your life. We are the sum of our...

Every once in a while you receive a burst of inspiration that leads you to make a commitment in your life. Sometimes all the signs you need are along the road you are already traveling and you just need to pay attention to them. That happened to me over the course of traveling to, attending, and traveling from Mr Olympia 2024 and it led me to a new decision for the immediate future. What is that d...
