I love live events, but maybe not for the reasons you might think. I just hosted a few hundred people for back-to-back Personal Story Power events in La Jolla—and I was absolutely blown away.

My goal today is to inspire you. I want to show you exactly what a compelling personal story looks like so you can realize what’s possible when you truly commit. This one comes from my Mastermind member, Kevin Ward. It all starts in a playground on the first day of third grade, when a kid […]

I invited Ben Hardy, author of Willpower Doesn’t Work, to speak to my elite group, The Best, about some of his incredible principles.

One of the quickest ways to lose your audience is to get up on stage and deliver a performance. That’s not what your audience wants.

What makes the difference between a “good” speaker and an absolutely extraordinary one? By the way, I’m sharing this with you because I know you want more. You don’t want to settle for ordinary.
