I wish I had that house.

I want that car. Mine sucks.

I wish I made $1M a year.

How come that dude sells more “whatever” than me?

Heard this before?
Said this before?
Ya, me too…

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media, admiring someone else's seemingly...

Authenticity: The Unseen Superpower

Real talk.

WHO are YOU?

We are all born into our environment, then programmed to be whatever and wherever we are creating an identity we just start living with.

Being authentic takes INTENTION.

It also takes:

- Permission
- Self Love
- Courage
- Patience
- Desire

What Are Videos Only You Can Make?

Ever feel like the internet is a never-ending sea of videos, and you're just another drop in the ocean? It’s like trying to shout at a rock concert—no one hears you, and you just end up with a sore throat. What if I told you there's a way to stand...

Recently, someone I follow wrote about this with Steve Jobs and I was inspired to put my own twist on it. 

I have always loved the word FORWARD.

It's just the simple meaning of progress, no matter how small.

Often when someone asks me "How's it going?", my response is "FORWARD".

So...let's...

I used to look for drama.

It’s a fact, I grew up surrounded by challenges, scarcity, negativity, trauma and I walked away always suffering not realizing I was choosing to stay in that mindset.

Nobody ever told me I was choosing to live in that crap.

Something is always wrong.
Something is...

Borrow My Mistakes.

Borrow My Millions.

Borrow My Time.

Let’s talk about mistakes. Not the “I wore mismatched socks to an important meeting” kind of mistakes, but the “I just lost a small fortune because I didn’t know any better” kind.

Believe me, I’ve...

One at a time, please.

Have a list of things to do, companies to run and dreams to bring to life and want them all now?

Ya, me too. I thought I could do it all once at one point.

I worked a 9-5 once.
I started and partnered in multiple companies.

I worked for days at a time.
Sometimes I was up...

Burnout.

This sh*t is REAL.

Have you experienced this before?

100%. mentally, emotionally and physically burned the f*&% OUT.

Too much.
All at once…
For way too long.

Burnout has stolen both life and time from me.

What about you?

What Is Burnout?

Burnout...let's address the elephant in...

B2B
B2C

Standard channels for consumer or business…and then there’s…

PVP
1V1
2V2

All things my kids say all day long.

What about P2P?

People 2 People. The foundation of relationships, business and communications.

No people, no business. That’s it.

Hello friends!

In a world...

Showing Up.

That’s 99% of success right?

Let’s assume it is. After all, to do anything or be anywhere you indeed have to be there.

So, we have 1% to contribute. 

Let’s allocate that to HOW you show up…

Some Thoughts.

Let's dive into a topic near and dear to my...

Distraction.

That word that follows us around all day stealing our attention.

Shiny object syndrome? Nope, distraction.

The urgent needs of our family? Nope, distraction.

I know, I’m so cold…

The to do list of never ending bulls#*&? You guessed it, distraction.

Email, text,...

Be Seen. Get Found.

That is a massive driver for business today.

If you're hiding, good luck growing.

Your clients want social proof.

Validation.

Reviews.

Trust.

Today, let's tackle a question that's probably been lingering in the back of your mind like that pesky email you keep meaning to reply...

There is a myth that plagues most of us. 

This myth is that everything has to be done at once.

It’s a falsehood.

Babies aren't created at once.

Houses aren't built at once.

Wine isn't made at once.

All of these examples take time. They have a process.

It’s supposed to be an...

That feeling of…

Well, probably so many things let’s be honest.

Have you ever felt the heat of frustration so intensely that it seemed to echo through every part of your being? It's that moment when your heart races, your palms sweat, and you feel as though you're standing at the...

Momentum. 

WTF is momentum? 

WHY does it matter?

WHO cares about it?

WHAT does it mean?

We may not get to all these but we are talking about momentum today…

Momentum is the product of consistency. It's the result of showing up day after day, putting in the work, and refusing to...

Framing. 

Perspective. 

Your view point.

Like a painting, each painter, viewer and critic has a different perspective. 

Like a camera, you can change lenses for a different view…but will you…? 

In the vast tapestry of our lives, framing acts as the intricate...

Discipline.

Motivation.

Both are ten letter words.

Both are often used very loosely.

What’s the fundamental difference between the two?

That’s a great question.

Will you explore that?

Awesome. Let’s go!

The Two Players.

In the journey towards success, two key players often take...

Resources.

What does this word mean to you?

• Time?

• Money?

• Your friends?

• Food & water?

• A team of people?

Question: Are you merely a resource or the embodiment of resourcefulness?

In the realm of creativity, we explore not just what exists but what we can conjure from the void and...

Sometimes we get so deep in the latest and greatest we forget the basics.

Today I wanted to offer a reminder.

Explore with me.

I want to dive into this topic that holds immense potential for anyone navigating the digital landscape. Whether you're a business owner, content creator, or just someone...

Be Event Centric.

I know…what does that mean Ray?

Let me backup…

Direct questions:

• Want a better network? 
• Would you like to be in rooms with your mentors? 
• Ever wonder why the wealthy are always having parties?

Host an event…regularly.

Even if you are an...

I built companies quietly for 30 years.

I was always “silently disruptive”.

I flew under the radar with opportunities that were available.

Here’s a story: 

I remember the call like it was yesterday from my business partner. 

“Bro - Can we move 50,000...

Wednesdays are my creative days. 

I block off my calendar.

I go to a coffee shop.

I have ZERO calls.

I mean, this doesn't always happen every Wednesday but I aim for 80%...

I go to a few places, usually local cafe’s. Today, I decided to go to the local Starbucks where I get my wife and...

Existentialism.

I can’t pronounce it either…

I stumbled on this word as I explored Stoicism.

Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice. 

Powerful.

It explores the idea that individuals create their own meaning and values...

Decisions.

Decision fatigue is real.

Steve Jobs talked about this.

• His wardrobe.
• His use of time.
• His product mix at Apple.

Limit your choices.
Focus your outcomes.
Increase your successes.

I’d like to get into unlocking potential through constraints. Let’s delve into the...
