A Day In The Life


Let’s talk about schedule. I get this question a lot: What do you do on a daily basis? It’s a great question. It’s the question that I would ask too. If I wanted to be the fastest man in the world, I not only would want to meet the fastest man in the world, but […]


Don’t Be Ashamed When You Lose Focus


Today we’re going to talk about focus or the lack thereof—so many people come up to me and they go, “Bo, I can’t do what you’re asking me to do because I don’t have your kind of focus. I don’t have your discipline.” People decide they don’t have focus and discipline and that’s just how […]


Leadership Is Demanding More, Not Less


Today I want to talk to you about leadership and it’s a tough subject to talk about because it’s ever evolving. I feel like the old model of leadership is busted—is bankrupt—so I’m constantly looking for new ways to invent, to show people what true leadership, pure leadership, what that looks like, what it tastes […]


Your Schedule Unlocks Your Destiny


I’m going to train you exactly how I train my kids and exactly how I train all of my clients—I train everyone exactly the same way. We all have a problem and it’s that we don’t have enough time in the day to practice, to rehearse, to train at the performance we have coming up. […]


Trusting Yourself Builds Deeper Connections


Bo & Dawn Unplugged, Part 3 Dawn: Can you tell them a little about what goes on backstage before you go out and speak? It’s usually you’re there about two hours or 90 minutes before your talk. I usually give you an opportunity to walk on the stage at some point. What are you eating? […]


How rehearsal time leads to greater impact


Bo & Dawn Unplugged, Part 2 Dawn: When you tell everyone, “Look you’ve got to get out there and rehearse your story,” it’s a nice idea but everyone knows how hard that really is. Can you tell us how you rehearse? Are there places you rehearse? How do you carve out time to rehearse? Give […]


Set Yourself Up to Win


Bo & Dawn Unplugged, Part 1 Dawn: I’m going to put my husband on a “hot seat” right now and I’m going to ask him a few questions for you to make sure that you guys get a little bit of an idea of how he prepares for a speech. I’m always with him and […]


Your Story Can Employ You Forever


This theater that we’re sitting in today is in my hometown. I’m performing this play in a couple of days and Dawn is producing it. It’s a fundraiser for my kids’ school. What’s so funny about this is that the first 10 or 12 years we performed this play in New York and all over […]


Using Heartache to Reinvent Yourself


How do you deal with heartbreak over something you’ve trained to be the best in the world at and now it’s over? You have a knee surgery or an injury and your dream is taken away from you. That happens to a lot of us—it’ll happen to all of us at some point. How do […]


My Secret to a Great Performance


I’m about to perform a play so I’m in here rehearsing. I’m getting turnover—repetition. It’s no different than giving as speech, toast or a presentation in the boardroom. It’s all the same. I rehearse all of that stuff. I memorize what I’m going to say over and over again because repetition is the king. Repetition […]
