Day 21 of Give the Gift of MORE brings the entire campaign together. In this episode, I read from the book and explain what “More” actually means — not as hustle, not as incremental improvement, but as expansive, human growth in an age defined by artificial intelligence. This is a conversation about leadership, not as a title or role, but as how we show up: in moments of pressure in moments of dec...

Day 20 of Give the Gift of MORE is about what comes next. These are not short-term forecasts or tool-specific bets.

In this episode, I share my five predictions for 2026 and beyond, focused on how power, leadership,...

Day 18 of Give the Gift of MORE is personal. In this episode, I share 18 moments that taught me more — moments of loss, resilience, rejection, generosity, love, leadership, and growth.

From being abandoned at 10, to being raised by two strong women, to early work, rejection, layoffs, fatherhood, coaching youth sports, underst...

Today, I’m sharing an overview of The MORE Effect — a leadership field guide for thriving in an AI-first, always-on world. Standing at the historic Moland House in Bucks County, next to the statue of Lafayette, I reflect on why this book exists and why it has become a gift to so many people who have read it early. In this video, I walk through: Why The MORE Effect is not a shortcut book — it’s a h...

In a world obsessed with shortcuts, hacks, automation, and efficiency, we’ve forgotten something essential: becoming More requires self reflection and examination.

Today’s episode challenges the myth of effortless success populariz...

Last fall, while doing market research at Rice’s Flea Market in Bucks County, I met a woman named Cami....
