Entrepreneurs and high achievers like to talk a lot about how to rewrite their life story, especially in the context of their external accomplishments.

I've found that growth more happens in the unseen moments - the times of pain, heartache, and the decisions we face that require courage, forgiveness, and presence.

When I got the call that my dad was dying, I knew I had to share this story—our story. This is a talk I gave at Growth Now Summit Live, and with special permission from host Justin Schenck, I’m sharing it here.

It’s about reconciliation, grief, identity, and the raw, often ugly road to healing. Whether or not you’re navigating loss or family conflict, I hope this message invites you to reconnect—with yourself or someone else—before it’s too late.

There's been a lot going on lately, so I thought I'd pop in and give you an update. Sorry I've been missing my podcasts...

If you’re a solopreneur, you already wear every hat: marketing, sales, content, client delivery. But there’s one skill that ties it all together –– persuasion.

In this episode, I sit down with Ellin Sidell, Fortune 500 leader-turned-author of The Influence Advantage. In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why persuasion is a skill you can master—even if you're introverted or uncomfortable with sales
• How Ellen got her boss to complete her overdue review using nothing but humor and a fake invoice (true story)
• What solopreneurs can learn from Costco’s grassroots mentorship program and how to replicate it in your brand
• The difference between mentorship and sponsorship—and why both matter for your growth
• Why self-leadership is your greatest competitive edge in today’s content-heavy world
