It’s Wednesday, June 10, 2026. We’ve all been there: you look at the clock, convince yourself you have "plenty of time" for one last thing, and end up sprinting frantically through a crowded terminal. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a painful, frustrating, and incredibly embarrassing mistake I made on our recent weekend trip to Madrid. It cost me $120, three hours of precious time, and a heavy dose of parental pride. We're diving into the psychological trap of "Time Optimism," the hidden anxiety of arriving early, and the strict reality of European train travel.

It’s Wednesday, June 10, 2026. I just wrapped up an incredible week at an HR conference in Porto, Portugal, and the message from the corporate world is loud and clear: AI transformation is no longer a pilot project—it is the main event. But as organizations rush to scale productivity, a massive counter-trend is emerging. Today, we look at the critical role of human leadership in an automated world, the growing backlash against "AI slop," and a personal story about how a single, spontaneous coffee chat years ago turned into a lifelong friendship and an Airbnb co-living setup this week.

It’s Wednesday, June 10, 2026, and I am coming to you from a park right outside a stunning castle in the middle of Milan, Italy. Yesterday, I told you about a conference that didn't quite hit the mark, but today is all about the wins. I’m sharing how a little bit of "LinkedIn flirting"—otherwise known as public, professional appreciation—landed me a free, world-class Italian lunch, a phenomenal new network contact, an upcoming podcast guest, and potential business collaborations. Plus, I’m pulling back the curtain on my exact "Conference Capture" AI workflow that allows me to stay 100% present during keynotes.

It’s Wednesday, June 10, 2026. I’m coming to you from a beautiful park in Milan, Italy, reflecting on a wild, mixed-bag of a trip. Over the last few days, I experienced the absolute peak of cycling freedom at Lake Como and the frustrating reality of a hyped-up international conference that didn’t quite deliver. Today, we’re talking about the "End-of-Life Regret" framework, taking calculated risks on new events, and how to find the silver lining when a business trip goes sideways.

It’s Wednesday, June 10, 2026. If you’ve noticed a quiet feed for the last few weeks, it’s because I’ve been deep in a transitional period, reimagining the future of my business. Markets change, technologies evolve, and true career ownership means knowing when to pivot. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my business transition, why I shut down a community I ran for six years, how I’m turning Claude into my bluntest business consultant, and a fun personal milestone with my daughter in Madrid.

It’s Wednesday, May 13, 2026. I’m coming to you from a sun-drenched plaza in Barcelona after a morning of journaling, coffee, and a serendipitous run-in with a friend. Today, we’re talking about "Social Surface Area." Why does living in a walking city feel so different from living in a driving city? We explore the biological spark of the "unplanned encounter" and how to manufacture that feeling even if you’re stuck in suburban traffic.

It’s Tuesday, May 13, 2026. Let’s get real for a second: life doesn’t always go according to the business plan. I’ve been feeling some frustrations lately—business isn't exactly where I want it to be. But today’s reminder is for me as much as it is for you: There are no "good" or "bad" events, only the perspectives we choose to wrap around them. We’re diving into the Stoic discipline of controlling the one thing that can’t be imprisoned: your mindset.

It’s Friday in Barcelona, and what started as a social game of paddle (padel) on a rooftop court turned into a masterclass in how the ego can sabotage our own happiness. Today, I’m breaking down a heated altercation that happened between courts and why "standing your ground" often costs you far more than you realize. We’re looking at the literal "math of an argument" and how to recognize when your ego is about to overcharge you.

It’s Wednesday, May 13, 2026. Today, I’m revisiting a topic that struck a chord with many of you: the razor-thin line between confidence and arrogance. Inspired by a recent entry in The Daily Stoic (April 7th), we explore why the most dangerous thing you can do for your career—and your happiness—is to stop being a student. We discuss Epictetus's warning against "arrogant opinion" and why changing your mind is actually a sign of elite leadership, not weakness.

It’s Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Yesterday, we talked about the practical, high-efficiency side of AI—how it saved me five hours of research in a single morning. Today, we’re zooming out. We are currently living through what many call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. While past technological leaps (like the steam engine and the automobile) destroyed old jobs only to create millions of unimaginable new ones, there is a growing debate: Is AI different? We’re exploring the "Horse Poop" analogy, the rise of AGI, and what it means for the future of human work.

It’s Tuesday, May 12, 2026. If you’ve been listening lately, you know I’m falling deep into the AI rabbit hole—and for good reason. Yesterday, I tackled a project that usually takes me five hours of manual grinding (or $70+ in VA fees) and knocked it out in 15 minutes using Claude. I’m sharing the exact workflow I used to organize a VIP dinner for an upcoming HR conference in Portugal, and why I’m seriously considering shifting my business toward AI consulting.

It’s Thursday, May 7, 2026. If you started the year with a list of big, audacious goals and now, in early May, you’re looking at that list wondering what happened—welcome to the club. I’m getting honest today about my own "slippage" over the last few weeks. Between training for the Traka bike race, falling down the AI rabbit hole, and restarting Spanish lessons, my podcast and book progress took a backseat. Today, we talk about how to stop the guilt spiral and perform a "Priority Audit" to decide what stays, what goes, and what gets postponed.

It’s Tuesday, May 5, 2026. I just got back from Girona after finishing the Traka 100, the biggest gravel bike race in Europe. When I signed up months ago, 100 kilometers (60 miles) felt like an impossible stretch for a "sprinter" like me. Today, I’m breaking down the raw experience of the race, how I shaved nearly an hour off my practice time in just one week, and why you should sign up for that "scary" challenge—even if you aren't sure you can finish.

It’s Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Today, we dive into Part 2 of my conversation with Angus Nelson, author of The Neuro-Resilient Leader. We tackle a paradox: why do some of the most "successful" people on the planet—entrepreneurs and high-performing leaders—live in a state of constant scarcity? Angus breaks down why this isn't about your bank account, but about the three internal enemies of your identity. We also share a personal moment about how Angus inspired my family's move to Spain.

It’s Monday, April 13, 2026, and we are breaking format! Today marks the first-ever interview on this podcast. My good friend Angus Nelson joins me to discuss his brand-new book, The Neuro-Resilient Leader: The Internal Operating System for Leading at the Speed of Change. We dive into why so many leaders are "faking it" while feeling terrified inside, and why your only competitive advantage in an AI-driven world isn't your strategy—it's your humanity.

It is Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Yesterday, I hosted a free virtual session on the 5 Steps to Owning Your Career, and a recurring question caught me off guard: "What if I’m actually happy where I am? Do I still need a vision?" Today, I’m digging into why "chilling" in a role you love is actually a high-risk strategy in 2026. Whether you want a promotion or not, the world is moving too fast for you to stand still.

It’s April 21, 2026. Yesterday, I was on the other side of the mic being interviewed for a podcast, and a killer question came up: "How do you shift your brand when people have already put you in a box?" Whether you’re known as the "data person" but want to be the "strategy person," or you’re trying to move from rom-coms to Academy Awards, shifting your brand requires more than just a new LinkedIn headline—it requires a tactical "No," a change in vocabulary, and the receipts to back it up.

It’s Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Yesterday, I gave a virtual keynote to a group of ambitious young professionals in a management training program. Their biggest question: Should you stick to one goal until it’s finished, or is it okay to juggle multiple at once? Today, I’m breaking down why "Follow One Course Until Success" is a great acronym but a hard reality for variety-seekers like me. We’ll look at the trade-offs of single-focus vs. variety and how to prioritize when your goals start to compete for your time.

It’s Wednesday, April 15, 2026. Today’s reflection was inspired by the April 5th entry of The Daily Stoic: "Trust but Verify." We often pride ourselves on our "gut instincts," but as Epictetus warned nearly 2,000 years ago, our first impressions can often carry us away into unnecessary anger, anxiety, or judgment. I’m diving into why taking a "beat" to interrogate your own emotions—especially in the face of a frustrating email or a missed expectation—is the ultimate tool for owning your life.

It’s Friday, April 10, 2026. Following up on yesterday’s talk about expectations, today I’m diving into another major source of friction: Judgment. Inspired by Ryan Holiday’s The Daily Dad, I’ve been reflecting on how our natural instinct to categorize and "approve" or "disapprove" of everything—from our kids' screen time to global politics—is actually a survival mechanism gone rogue. I share why I’m trying to trade my "judge's gavel" for a "magnifying glass" of curiosity.

It’s Thursday, April 9, 2026. Today’s episode was sparked by my morning reading of The Daily Stoic and The Daily Dad. I’ve come to realize that one of the single biggest drivers of unhappiness isn't "bad luck"—it's missed expectations. Specifically, the ones we never actually bothered to say out loud. I’m sharing how shifting from "assumed" to "explicit" communication saved my marriage from unnecessary arguments and why I stopped "keeping score" in my friendships years ago.

It’s easy to talk about "owning your life" when everything is going perfectly. It’s a lot harder when business is stalling, family friction is high, and your morning coffee is missing the oat milk you like. Today, I’m getting vulnerable about my own current challenges and the delicate dance between being "never satisfied" (shoutout to Alexander Hamilton) and practicing the stoic art of focusing only on what you can control.

It is Wednesday, April 8, 2026, and today I’m sharing something that truly touched me. My friend Dmitri, a polyglot and educator originally from Ukraine, has been using my book, Own Your Career, Own Your Life, in his English classes in Greece. His students sent in three of the most profound questions I’ve heard in a long time: How do we find our true desires? How do we stay disciplined? And how do we survive rejection? I’m sharing my answers here because whether you’re a student in Athens or a CEO in Atlanta, these are the hurdles we all face.

I just got back from an Easter break in the French Alps, and while the skiing was legendary (the best spring snow in five years, according to the locals), the drive there was a masterclass in "perspective." Coming from a Florida background where road trips are cheap and the land is flat, paying nearly $10 a gallon for gas in France was a massive wake-up call. Today, I’m breaking down the math of a European road trip in 2026 and why, despite the tolls and the fuel costs, "owning the experience" was still worth every Euro.

It’s April 7, 2026, and the "AI honeymoon" phase is officially over. Today, I’m reacting to the news that the CEO of PWC has essentially issued a mandate: get on board with AI, or you may no longer have a place in the firm. While layoffs continue to ripple through the economy, the subtext is becoming text—AI isn't just a "bonus" skill anymore; it’s the new baseline for professional survival. I share why I’m a fan (mostly) and why owning your career today means becoming an AI-augmented worker before the choice is made for you.

It’s Friday, March 27, 2026. I’m walking back from a solo ski session in the French Alps, reflecting on a trap we all fall into: The Highlight Reel. When you scroll through LinkedIn or Instagram, it’s easy to feel like everyone is winning while you’re just working. But today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own "perfect" vacation to show you why comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s curated highlights is a recipe for misery.

If you’ve ever tried to coordinate a "perfect" day with a spouse, kids, or even just a travel partner, you know that the dream rarely matches the reality. This week in the French Alps, I was reminded (probably for the thousandth time) that as soon as you add another human being into your plans, life becomes an exercise in compromise. Today, I’m sharing why I chose gratitude over frustration when my "perfect" town tour was cut short by hungry ten-year-olds.

I’m recording this while walking through a quiet, snow-covered village in the French Alps. Yesterday, while visiting a stunning lakeside town with canals, my son gave me a classic 10-year-old reality check. While I was in awe of the beauty, he shrugged and said, "It’s just a town." It got me thinking about how easily we slip into seeing the world as "mundane" versus "miraculous." Whether it’s a snowy mountain or a spreadsheet at work, your perspective is the only thing you truly own.

After nine years and thousands of inbound pitches, I’ve developed a pretty thick skin when it comes to people wanting a piece of my platform. But this week, two very different requests hit my inbox that perfectly illustrate the difference between "transactional networking" and "genuine community." Today, I’m sharing why I turned down a well-known speaker with a laugh and why I didn't hesitate to say "yes" to my friend Angus Nelson—and what it means for your own career karma in 2026.

Before I was a speaker, author, and coach, I was a data analyst at a large insurance company, staring at Excel spreadsheets all day. I was an extrovert trapped in a cubicle, and I finally gathered the courage to ask my boss for a change. His answer? A blunt, "No, get back to work." In this episode, I share why that rejection was the best thing that ever happened to me, and the two critical lessons it holds for both individual contributors and leaders in 2026.

It’s Thursday, March 26, 2026, and I have a confession: If I tell myself I’m going to write 500 words, there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll end up scrolling LinkedIn instead. But if I tell my friend Leanne? Those words are getting written. In this episode, I break down the psychological "hack" of accountability—from my outreach group for speakers to a recent 45-minute "writing sprint" that helped me finally knock out my newsletter.

It’s easy to treat AI like a glorified search engine, but after a meetup in Barcelona last night, my eyes are wide open to what’s actually possible in 2026. From "Claude Cowork" managing LinkedIn prospects to "Claude Code" helping me build my very own app (yes, really!), I’m diving deep into how these tools are shifting from "thought partners" to "action partners." If you feel overwhelmed by AI, this episode is your permission to just play, fail, and build something anyway.

It’s something we’ve done for thousands of years, but in 2026, with social media at our fingertips 24/7, it’s become an epidemic. Today, I’m diving into the concept of comparison. I share a personal realization I had on the Padel court about my cycling "status" and why we are almost always looking the wrong way when we measure our progress. If you’ve ever felt like an "amateur" despite years of hard work, this episode is a reality check on your own success.

It’s Monday, March 23, 2026. Usually, I’m someone who likes to live in the moment, but I’ve realized that if you don't own your schedule, your schedule will own you. This morning, I sat down with my new "Chief of Staff"—Claude—to map out the week. Since switching from ChatGPT a few weeks ago, I’ve been leaning heavily into using AI not just as a search engine, but as a high-level personal assistant that knows my business, my goals, and my quirks.

It’s Friday, which means if you're looking for me, I’m probably on a Padel court. If you haven’t seen it yet, Padel (or Paddle) is taking over Europe and Latin America, and it’s starting to make waves in the U.S. too. Think of it as the high-energy lovechild of tennis and racquetball—played on a smaller court with plexiglass walls that you can actually hit the ball off of.It’s fast, it’s competitive, and most importantly, it’s built for connection.

Yesterday was my 46th birthday, and I gave myself the best gift possible: I cleared my calendar, hopped on a train to the end of the line in Terasa, and spent six hours on my bike. I tackled a 103-kilometer route with 1,500 meters of climbing—my longest and most challenging ride to date. In this episode, I share the mindset shift required to do something that felt "unfathomable" just a year ago, and why we need to stop living in "reaction mode" and start getting outside.

What do you do when you’re invited to go 50mph in a gas-powered metal frame, and your natural instinct is to say "No thanks"? Last weekend, I traded a relaxing lunch at the beach for an indoor go-karting track in Barcelona to celebrate a friend’s son’s 13th birthday. In this episode, I share my journey from being the slowest driver on the track to shaving 10 seconds off my lap time—and why being "bad" at something is the first step toward having the most fun you’ve had in years.

Today is March 17, 2026, and I am officially turning 46. I wanted to take a moment to step away from the "hustle" and the constant drive for the next goal to simply say thank you. Thank you for listening, for being part of my network, and for allowing me to share my journey with you.
I’m recording this from my home in Spain, with my dog at my feet and my family nearby, feeling incredibly lucky—but also incredibly proud of the progress I’ve made.

I’m finally back in the swing of things! After a brutal fight with the flu that started in Boston and followed me all the way home to Spain, I’ve had a lot of time to sit with my thoughts. It’s easy to feel stuck when you're trapped in a hotel room or bedridden, but a morning dive into Stoicism gave me the exact reality check I needed.

"I don’t want to seem like I’m bragging." It’s the #1 objection Andy hears when teaching professionals how to build their personal brands. In this episode, Andy shares a life-changing lesson he learned from a workshop with consulting legend Alan Weiss in Atlanta. If you've ever held back from sharing your wins on LinkedIn or YouTube because you fear the "arrogant" label, this episode provides the exact mental framework you need to speak your truth with authority while staying grounded.

As he drafts a new chapter for his upcoming book, Own Your Future, he explains why online communities are the single most underrated tool for building a powerful network in 2026.

Is it time to break up with ChatGPT? In this episode, Andy shares why he officially canceled his Plus subscription and moved his "digital brain" over to Claude. Triggered by a major ethical divide in the 2026 AI landscape and a surprisingly easy migration process, Andy explores the practical differences between the two giants. Plus, a look at how he built a professional landing page in under five minutes using Lovable for his upcoming April coaching program.

What happens when you’ve already "arrived"? During a recent keynote Q&A, Andy was hit with a curveball: "What if I already love my job and I don't want to do anything different?"

Have you ever looked at someone and thought, "How do they have it all figured out?" In this episode, Andy deconstructs that myth.

As I record this in the beginning of March 2024, there seems to be a lot of fear and uncertainty in the economy and job markets. On the one hand, companies are performing well and the stock market is hitting all-time highs. And while the unemployment rate in the US is also quite low, there also seems to be a lot of rightsizing, transforming, cost-cutting, and reductions-in-force happening. Most of those are code for layoffs.
So no matter what is going on in your organization or business, I want to share some advice that can be helpful to anyone facing uncertainty or even potential layoffs (or transformations).

Brad Stewart has a very unique career story that I am excited to share with you today. Brad left school and went into the tattoo industry where he spent roughly the next 10 years. He lived and breathed the lifestyle – gangsters, parties, drugs, you name it! Then he decided his life needed to change, and he did a complete ‘180’ – He started to have his tattoos (hands, throat, neck) removed, and moved into Real Estate, before making his way into the corporate arena where he is now a marketing manager at a superannuation fund in Sydney. He has done this within 3 years of turning corporate, and has no university degree or formal education. He has knuckled down and done the hard work. His experience might be valuable to you if you are out there stuck in a rut at the moment and feel there is no way out of what you’re doing, or that you'll never get to where you want to go. Or, to those who want to change careers and are too scared, or don’t want to leave their comfort zone - Brad's story will inspire you and instill hope.

Today I'm sharing my top-10 takeaways from the Own Your Career Summit. Those include... Taking ownership of your career and life is paramount - this is the underlying theme of the whole summit. Stop waiting for others to give you things. Take ownership and take control of your future. It's important to make time to reflect on the work you love and set a vision for the future - one of the biggest problems out there is people don’t make space or time to reflect and plan. You need to truly visualize what you want to achieve and then set specific goals - When you have quiet time, start to visualize exactly what you want to achieve in your career and then start to work backwards and make a plan for how you can get there. Don't wait to build your network and prepare for the future - Dig your well before you’re thirsty. Start building relationships now before you need them. Your personal brand is essential to your future success - this is so underrated and underappreciated. Your brand is your reputation and stems from how you show up. Developing a growth and ownership mindset is crucial for your success - with a growth mindset, you can try new things and you believe you can always learn and improve. Do what is right for you - don’t get caught up in comparison. Set your own goals and chart your own path. Play the long game - Inspired by Dorie Clark’s book, always consider the big picture and keep the long game in mind Don't try to do it alone and don't be afraid to ask for help - I’ve received so much help in my career from coaches, mentors, friends, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Invest in yourself - Both time and money. If you want to change careers, hire a career coach. Take a course, go to a conference, upgrade your summit ticket and take my course.

A friendly reminder that nobody is perfect and nobody has it all figured out. We are all on a journey and the only reward at the end is your own fulfillment and legacy.
Research your options and figure out what is possible and what’s realistic (but don’t spend too much time researching or waiting for the “perfect” time b/c it will never come Set goals and make a plan to achieve them - laying out what you need to do and what actions you’ll need to take regularly Get help - hire a coach, join a mastermind, read books, listen to podcasts, buy courses - what I’ve done Continuously check in, reevaluate, learn and pivot when necessary Don’t stake your personal identity or worth to the success of a project or business. They are unrelated Remember that you have more time than you think Consider the worst-case scenario and what would happen if you “failed” Stop comparing yourself to others and instead focus on being inspired and learning - we are all on our own journey Get help with the process or work - hire an assistant, marketing person, team, etc - this may require taking a risk and investing Document your journey and share with others - even if you don’t achieve your goals, you might inspire someone to chase theirs.

Bio:
In 1986, 5-year-old Korry Franke stared out the window of a U.S. Air jet and was captivated by the view he saw. 27 years later, Korry became the youngest captain then flying for United Airlines, a moment he thought was the finish line for the success he had chased. But over the following year, Korry came to realize that that moment wasn't a finish line at all; rather, it was only the beginning of an even greater journey--one that would take an entire lifetime to achieve.
The story of Korry's leadership journey as a new captain and how that journey changed the way he viewed success--and perhaps how you will, too--is told through his memoir, 3 Feet to the Left: A New Captain's Journey from Pursuit to Perspective.
Now, the airline pilot, speaker, and author merges his years of airline leadership experience with the creativity he's honed as an accomplished jazz pianist, the discipline he's developed as a two-time marathoner, and the real-world business acumen he's gained as a Penn State University MBA graduate to help people and organizations soar to success by learning to embrace their captain's mindset.

Reflections on how I performed against my goals in 2017 and my big goal for 2018!
! I've been big on goals lately and over the past week or so, I've been reflecting on my goals for 2017 and setting new goals for 2018. A year ago, I took a course on goal-setting (Michael Hyatt’s Best Year Ever) and set some ambitious goals for 2017, made them as “SMART” as possible, committed to them and even posted about it (you may recall my post from a year ago about goals). It has now been a year so I wanted to post an update with reflection and new goals for 2018 (warning, long post): For 2017, I committed to practicing my Miracle Morning and to meditating and exercising every single day. I also committed to reading at least 25 books, a sales target at work and to leading my first mastermind group this year. I set a large financial goal in terms of income and net worth. And finally, on the personal/family front, I committed to more quality time with my wife and kids (at least one date with Cortney each month and one adventure with the kids every weekend). Now that 2017 is over, I can say that I did not achieve all of my goals, but I'm happy to say I performed well on most of them. Here is the recap: -I meditated every single day in 2017, save one (currently on a 265 day streak). -I worked out or did some form of exercise almost every single day (I think I missed 10-15 days out of the year) and am nearly as strong as I was in college -I read 30 books (will do a separate post on books later) this year and learned (and implemented) a TON of stuff on various topics. -I led my first paid mastermind group for dads (thanks to Larry Hagner for putting his trust in me) and have another one starting on January 29th. -Cortney and I worked on improving our relationship and I'm pretty sure we went on at least one date every month except December (whoops). On my financial goal, I completely missed. I didn’t hit my sales target at work and made a lot less money than I hoped. Our childcare expenses went up and we did not make nearly as much progress financially as I wanted. We did reduce our debt (and pay off our auto loan) and our overall net worth increased (mostly because of the record highs in the stock market) but our personal finances did not improve as well as I hoped they would. Two surprise accomplishments for the year that I didn’t expect:
I started a podcast (The Entrepreneur Hot Seat) on May 1 and have made tons of awesome connections as a result.
I said I would somehow quit my job by the end of the year to become a full-time performance coach or entrepreneur and I actually did leave my job on October 1, and it was to join a new business (APG) that wasn’t even on my radar in January. Funny how life works. I'm proud of what I accomplished in 2017, especially because I believe I did it while still spending a lot of quality time with my kids. I also learned from my failures. And I know we still have a long way to go to achieve our financial goals and a lot of work to do in 2018. I still struggle with finding balance, avoiding distractions, saying no to things, communicating effectively and investing my time in the right places. My biggest goal and new theme in 2018 is on growing my business, increasing our income, paying off debt and improving our financial situation. I plan to do this by committing big time to my business and limiting distractions (like Facebook, haha), taking risks and trying new things. And I hope to do this without sacrificing my health, fitness or time with family. There are always trade-offs to everything we do and how we spend our time and I know everyone struggles with this balance. I'm on this journey as well. I'm so grateful to have Cortney Fielding and my kids with me on this journey and also for the support of so many friends (I want to tag them but I am afraid I'll leave some out) and especially Vincent Pugliese and our Freelance to Freedom Mastermind Group. I still have a lot to learn and things to...

Notes from the show:
Everything we learn, it may take a while to understand it, but once we have it, we have it
Learned by playing around great players to be inspired and translate pain into power
Used defeats to create challenge and turn them into a game
Play all out all the time and master your craft
You can differentiate yourself by being willing to get dirty and do the hard work that sets you apart
Got drafted and achieved dream, then got cut had had to train and work hard without getting paid
You can never see what’s going on behind closed doors and if you quit too early, you miss out on some important lessons
Wouldn’t be as successful teaching now if he had not gone through those struggles
You may hate challenges and struggles now but they are going to pay off later with experience
Now owns a consulting, training, speaking company
Helps entrepreneurs transition from where they are to where they want to be
Sat down and thought about what he likes and enjoys doing

It won’t be like this forever, keep working hard and get past these humps
Got encouraged by friends to write a book - Permission to Dream
Help student athletes at collegiate and HS level transition into career/business
Have a structure, but don’t be afraid to allow change or something new
To make a transition, you have to understand who you are and what you are and where you want to go
People need something to look forward to
The most successful people are obsessed with their business
Mistakes: getting frustrated with market not meeting expectations
Need to understand burn rate and where money is going and how much
