Recently I was offered a promotion for a leadership opportunity within our company.
And I said no.
Sometimes itโs okay to say no. Even when itโs a potentially life-altering career opportunity.
Because at the core of the decisions we make, it's important to stay true to ourselves, and do what is right for you.
Tune in to learn more about why I turned down this opportunity (even though I thought long and hard about it), and how you can think about your own career moves and opportunities.

2025 is here - and a diet reset was needed. Nutrition, health, and wellness are always at the forefront of my daily operations, and I'm currently doing the Whole30 Program and just completed a 4-Day Juice Cleanse.
Tune in to understand what they are, why I did, and how you can benefit from something similar.

Well, folks. Here we are. 365 days in a row writing on LinkedIn. Rain or shine. Without fail.
Kind of hard to believe, especially considering the year itโs been.
Iโve written from many locations in the world:
Trains in Switzerland, mountains in Europe, planes, Lyfts, airports, hotels, restaurants, Chicago, Death Valley, Louisiana, yoga studios, football games, gyms, the stair stepper, my car, my friendโs car, my friendโs friendโs car, New Jersey, Palm Springs, San Diego, Portland, LA, Austin, Minnesota, Kelowna, emergency rooms, my home, my parent's home -
The list is literally endless.
But regardless where we were in the world, or what was going on,
The work got done. The writing got published.
One day. One post.
At a time.
Iโve developed a very personal relationship with writing throughout this experience.
Writing has been my therapist.
My confidant.
My superpower.
My release.
Itโs brought me clarity and confusion, direction and wonder, worry and excitement, laughter and tears.
Itโs re-triggered forgotten dreams, and sparked dreams for others.
It's even brought me incredible connections and friends with people I would have never met otherwise.
It's challenged me to grow in ways I never thought I would, and forced me to continuously show up for others, and for myself.
It takes a lot for me to feel a strong sense of pride... but this one feels good.
And just to think it all started with one simple question from friend and mentor, Ian Koniak:
โ๐พ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐?โ
Surround yourself with high caliber people, lead a high caliber life.
As they say, high tides raise all ships ๐ข
Want to know the best part?
Today is actually Day 366.
(S/o my man Bryant Ferate for planting this seed early)
Total accident, laughed when I saw it.
But being a Bare Performance Nutrition Ambassador, right on cue for what I already planned:
To Go. One. More.

The entire trajectory of my life was altered this year with these two ideas:
1. Trusting my gut
2. The quote below ๐๐ฝ
Letโs start with the quote in one of Sahil Bloomโs newsletters that, when I read it, stopped me dead in my tracks:
โ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐, ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ?
โWhen making big, scary, potentially life-altering decisions, it can prove valuable to step out of your own situation, detach from the emotions, and see things from a birdโs eye view.
A โunique vantage point,โ Sahil mentions, to see the bigger picture and surrounding landscapes.
An external perspective usually doesnโt hurt. Sometimes, even makes things obvious. โโSecond - trusting your gut.
Easier said than done. They say you have a second brain - the one in your gut.
Iโm starting to question if that might actually be our first brain.
Rooted in the subconscious, supernatural, mystical realms of life.
Something you can feel, but canโt quite explain.
But only you truly know what you feel. Because our other brain will argue head over heart all day.
And justify decisions with logic, ration, and reason, that makes total sense.
And thank God for that brain.
We need it. Especially in life or death situations.
Or making a data-driven business decision.
But, deep down, our gut instinct is a very powerful sense of reality, ๐๐๐๐ reality, that is crucial to lean into.
And trust - no matter how scary it might be. You know when youโre going against it, and you know when youโre aligned.
From the wise words of Sahilโs grandfather:
๐ซ๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.
So as we approach a new year, I encourage you to ask yourself:
What would ๐๐๐ be screaming at yourself to do right nowโฆ in the movie of your life?
And when you answer that question, trust it.
Do like Steve Jobs and, โHave the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.โ

100 podcast episodes. Interviewing Dan Martell. Meeting Dan in person and sitting down in his studio to have a conversation, face-to-face.
All things I never thought would ever happen -
But sure enough, through imperfect action, consistency, and a desire to make it happen,
It happened.
In this episode, I share some of the secrets behind how we accomplished this milestone.

I was recently on a podcast with my friend Davidson Hang when compared me to the absolute legend, Colin O'Brady ๐
Little did he know this was like the single greatest compliment he could have ever given me...
And we could have ended the interview there.
But we kept it rolling, and big s/o to my man Davidson for having me on the show!
We talked all things:
โ๏ธ Being multi-faceted & living a life by design
โฐ Time management & productivity
๐ฑ Journey in sobriety
๐ The ROI and impact from coaching
๐๏ธ Podcasting tips, tricks, & secrets
And the best financial investment you can make ๐ฐ
Always fun to flip the script and jump on another podcast as a guest ๐๏ธ

Recently I was dealing with a very unhappy customer. At first I let it ruin my day - overshadowing anything else I could think about or focus on.
Then I decided to do something about it.
Tune in to this episode to learn what happened, what I did, and how I used it as a growth opportunity - and how you can, too.

I had a goal to have my house ready for rent by my 32nd birthday
And I'm proud to say that I officially moved out, with a house ready for rent, on that exact day.
With the official listing going live the very next day โ
Things were slow until I made some big decisions and stopped trying to do everything on my own...
Like outsourcing major work to the experts:
๐๏ธ Exterior / Interior Painting
๐งน Cleaning Crew
๐ซง Carpet Cleaners
๐ณ Landscapers
๐ป Property Managers
And picking the brains of friends, family, and realtors who have done it before ("Who," not How...)

Over the years I have spent over $20k on coaching and personal development (and I guess this is not even counting the books, audibles, MasterClass, and all the other programs not top of mind).
Here's my #1 piece of investing advice: investing in YOURSELF is the #1 investment you can ever make.
Ainโt no stock, mutual fund, crypto token, or real estate investment that will ever beat an investment in yourself.
There is uncapped ROI when you bet on yourself,
And a better you will ALWAYS beat any market.
This can come in many shapes, forms, and sizes:
โข Personal trainer in the gym
โข Nutritionist or quality food system
โข Taking a skill-specific course
โข Or simply taking some time off for yourself
Personally - I made a decision last year to invest in my own career development by joining Ian Koniakโs development program: Untap Your Sales Potential
It was the most money Iโd ever invested in myself, and I was pretty nervous.
The kicker, however, is I made back my money in the first month in the program.
The next 11 months was simply playing with house money.
And the next 70 yearsโฆ who even knows.
They say interest compounds.
Well so does learning.
Never stop learning.

About a year ago I had a terrible quarter when I was working at DocuSign.
One of those seasons where nothing goes your way:
โข Deals slip
โข Timingโs off
โข Budgets freeze
โข Commits go Closed/Lost
โข Confidence plummets
In baseball we call it a slump, and I was pushinโ that Mendoza line.
Anyway, I let myself feel what I needed to feel in order to process what happened, and the very next morning I sat down with a pen and this yellow piece of paper.
And I got to work.
Wrote down any โSales Fundamentalโ I could think of that has helped me in the past.
And hereโs what I came up with:
โข Be engaged!
โข Active Listening - LISTEN!
โข Always schedule a next step
โข Be responsive
โข SIMPLE FOCUS: build pipe & close deals
โข Time Blocking + Execution
โข Daily Dials - 10 calls before 10amโข Plan Your Attack, Attack Your Plan
โข Follow-Up Emails -> immediately
โข Avoid social media & digital distraction
โข Always Ask for the Offer (AAFTO)
โข Meetings (High Value) -> Pipeline -> Closed Deals
โข Keep LEARNING!
โข HAVE FUN!
Since I wrote this list, Iโve either hit my number each quarter or been pretty damn close. And more important than the number, I feel really proud about the inputs.
I also noticed something interestingโฆThese seem less โsalesโ focused and more just โhow to excel at really anything you want to do and achieve in lifeโโฆThereโs definitely a couple sales & business specifics in there, but looks like a pretty solid list for overall personal growth and being a professional.
Donโt you think?
Anyways - hopes this help someone either get back on track, stay on track, or improve in any capacity.
Feel free to throw add anything thatโs helped you in the past as well!And as always:
E+R=O (Event + Response = Outcome) ๐

โPlease donโt try to go over it. Just go around.โ
Me talking to myself about the sprinkler when mowing the lawn a couple weekโs back.
So what did I do? Of course, tried to go up and over.
And absolutely demolished the sprinkler head. Nice. Set out to just mow the lawn and now have an entire sprinkler system to fix.
After cussing myself out for the first 30 seconds (more like 15 minutes), I kept mowing and then decided that this was the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill.
You know, adopt an opportunistic mindset like we often talk about and turn a negative into a positive.
(Easier said than done)But when we can take a breath, remove emotions, and stay neutral, we can choose to RESPOND instead of simply reacting.
So I finished mowing, collected the shrapnel, and started watching a YouTube video on how to fix sprinklers.
Then, I had a breakthrough idea:Letโs work smarter, not harder, and ask someone who actually knows how to do this instead of trying to figure it out on my own.
๐คฏ
So I went and knocked on my neighbor's door, he assessed the situation, gave me my marching orders, and off I went to plug the hole and head to Ace Hardware.
I returned with my prized possession and excited to learn how to fix this thing. Not only did we fix it, but I learned how the entire irrigation system works along with some incredible personal stories we would have otherwise never connected on.
As with anything in life, how we deal with inconveniences and adversity tolerance will dictate the quality of our life and outcomes we create.Event + Response = Outcome
(Key word, โResponse,โ not reaction)

How do we get more of it?
How do we best use it?
How can we spend less time doing things we donโt enjoy, and more time doing the things we love?
In this weekโs episode of The Seeds of Success Podcast, weโre talking all things time, focus, and prioritization.
More specifically, how to strategically go about completing your projects and accomplishing your goals so that you can get the greatest ROI for your work, business, and life.
And simultaneously live a more fulfilling life.
In a rather silly (but very current reality) example, I talk about why I decided to not personally paint my house, and instead am outsourcing it to the pros so I can do the things that only I can truly do (and that I do best).
In this episode, my goal is to help you maximize your time and focus too,
To do more of what you love, and get your greatest ROI.
P.S. - I want to give the biggest shoutout to my parents for helping me with every detail of this project today.
I will always appreciate you all more than I can ever express.

If thereโs one thing Iโve become certain of in life
Itโs that change is inevitable.
We canโt escape it. Canโt avoid it. Change is hard. Change is scary. It can be sad. And it can hurt.
What Iโve also learned,
Is that change can be a good thing. It can be exciting. Shedding of the old you. Making way for the new.
And as a past mentor and legendary coach Trevor Moawad would say: โChange is inevitable, but growth is optional.โ
What Iโm learning in this season of life is that we must be ready for that growth. We must be willing and able to embrace the opportunity for growth,
And engage it directly when the time is right. But let me be clear. We must feel the feelings. Address the emotions. Sit with them. And not run.
If they could ask you a question, what would they ask?Scary? Yes.
But not too scary.
Big feelings? Yes. But not too big.
S/o my coach, friend, and mentor Scott McElroy for helping me get here. I appreciate you.
And I welcome anyone going through it to accept your next season of change, hardship, and pain as an invitation to go inward. Itโs where you truly find,
Well,
You.
