Sometimes I think I should get checked for dyslexia. I am constantly missing errors in my blogs (even when I carefully triple-check), and when I’m reading books I always have to re-read what I just read to make sure that’s actually what I just read (that sentence could make anyone feel like they have dyslexia). Yesterday, I was reading Neil…

Leave a CommentI was on the phone this morning with my good friend, Ray. Ray has been through many ups and downs in his career. He’s failed, he’s succeeded, he’s lost and he’s come back. In the few short years I’ve known him, he’s given me the most interesting lessons. They’re always given in unconventional ways (like dancing salsa or using copywriting to…

Leave a CommentI think I first heard it said by Tony Robbins, but everybody and their cousin has said it in their self-development/success book, so it could have been anybody.

All I feel like doing is watching basketball highlights on YouTube and eating cheese puffs. “I have a little cloud [hanging over my head]” as my family members would say. Too much…

Leave a CommentI recently had somebody very close to me give me some pretty honest feedback. I can’t lie; it stung. Receiving criticism, or “feedback,” doesn’t typically feel good to any of us. I was certainly jammed up after this person gave me some of their raw thoughts about me. When we receive criticism, our brains perceive it as a threat to our…

Leave a CommentI originally wrote this post in 2011, after a tragic accident that took an amazing man too soon. On this melancholy Monday morning, after the horrifying events in Orlando, I didn’t see this as an opportunity to push my political beliefs or personal agenda, but I did want to address it in some way. In my experience, trying to shift an individuals perspective…

Leave a CommentThere’s two halves. Half of the time I’m full of positivity and possibility. I’m calm, cool, and collected. I’m confident and carry a certain swag with me. Smooth words roll off my tongue, and all my jokes hit with precision. I feel motivated and inspired. I feel connected. I feel so much love and support from my people. I feel…
