Evan Carmichael said, “Reading doesn’t have to be your top priority, but learning should be…” So maybe reading’s not your bag, but just because you don’t like to read doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t learn.

Your skin color, neighborhood, family, your past, present circumstances, nor the fact that you didn’t graduate high school nor go to college… They’re not holding you back… It’s your “buts.” […]

I’ve often said that hope is not a strategy… But it is a key ingredient. Rebecca Solnit writes, “To have hope is to embrace the unknown with the unknowable…you must acknowledge that you don’t know everything & you don’t know what’s going to happen.

It may take me 10+ takes to make a 2 min video… The same is true when I’m recording my podcast… Some days are tougher than others because I just can’t get what I want to convey to flow right. But you don’t see all of that… You only see what I want you to […]
