How Many Years Does It Take to Be the Best?


I’m a little obsessed with being the Best. And when I share that with people, there’s one thing they want to know: “How long does it take to be the Best?” (Watch the video above to hear my answer!) When I share my number, it sometimes knocks the wind out of people. They’re intimidated by […]


Do you want to be the Best or do you want to be happy?


There are more than 60,000 books on Amazon right now with “happiness” in their titles.

Checking In While the World Checks Out


A lot of people look forward to the holidays as a chance to check out. I do things a little differently. I use the holidays to check IN. The holidays are the perfect time to revisit your dreams. To take stock of your training. To lead and focus on your vision for the future. AND, […]


How to Deal with Fear So It Can’t Hold You Back


If you ask people what emotions they lived in this past year, I bet fear will come up over and over. So I wasn’t surprised when I got this question from one of the members of my A-Lister Facebook Group: “Bo, has fear ever held you back from getting what you want?” Of course it […]


Finding the Emotional Start of Your Story


I’m the youngest of five kids. I’ve done three marathons. I started my dream business in my 40s. These details may sound simple, but they can become the start of your story. In fact, they can become the guts and the emotional core of a powerful narrative that makes people pay attention. When you find […]


Can Virtual Events Be More Intimate Than Live Ones?


I love being on stage, live, belly to belly with my audience.
