Through many years of speaking on the national circuit, I have found that for most of us it’s not what we say but what our audience, friends, and family hear. Because of that simple fact you need to re-craft your message to break through the noise…

After years of doing a radio show and podcast – it is time for me to move on to my next adventure, but before I go, I want to leave you with my final thought, and it is about doing your part for your future and others. Like many of you, I am concerned about our world. There is no hiding the fact that we are in an age of change, but no matter what happens, I will not lose my focus on the long game that I have written out for myself. I am hoping, trusting, and praying that
Perhaps the greatest message I can share and want to embed in your mind is the truth that Whatever it is you have been wanting and waiting to do, please consider doing it soon. You have waited long enough, and you have told yourself that you are someone who strives to live with purpose and, goals, and vision, so since that is your resolve, allow me to push you once again to leave your place of fear and start running down your path. With that overall theme in mind, here are three ideas that I believe will motivate, sustain, and
It’s funny, but when I think about repeating myself, I am reminded of a quick story.

For the last few years, I have been writing a weekly blog and producing a podcast, which stemmed from my Saturday radio show, “Encouragement for Your Life,” heard every week on 94.5FM. As we come into the holidays, I will be closing out this chapter of life–my weekly newsletter and podcast. That being said, after 250 shows/posts/newsletters – I will end my weekly dose of encouragement with the same encouragement that I started with almost five years ago. Please hear me loud and clear (and I am speaking to myself here as well): your only limit is you. And that
As I thought about what to give as a word of encouragement this week, I wanted to share something that would be uplifting and not just educational or a training session, so when I found the first part of this poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson, I knew I had landed on my thought for this weekend before Christmas.
