  • You’ve heard me talking about “getting in the room”, right?

    Well, I gave some advice to a friend recently when she shared her challenge of finding a room that was the right fit for her. And I wanna share it with YOU, too…

    …“Pick a room, any room… Will it be the best room? Will it be the right room? Most likely not, but it's a muscle you build.”

    I get it. Trust me, I do.

    It seems counterproductive joining a room without being sure it isn’t a fit. But what if you got so good at making the wrong room the right room? Can you imagine how great you’d be at maximizing when you DID get in the right room?

    In this episode you’ll learn how much of your revenue you should be investing in educational resources, the mindset to have around making investments, and what to do when an investment doesn’t seem to be paying off.

  • Maybe you’ve asked yourself this question…

    …“What is THIS all for?”

    It's a question that digs at the heart of purpose, pushing you to consider the true meaning behind the endless amount of work.

    And to this day, I wonder if my grandmother asked herself this question. She moved to East LA to work in a sweatshop, taking three buses to work after dropping off her three kids at school, one with special needs—getting home with just enough time to put dinner on the table and send the kids to bed.

    Maybe she knew that one day her hard and treacherous work would pave the way for her granddaughter to not only go to college but to come back to deliver a commencement speech.

    In this (very short) episode, you’ll learn the four qualities that’ll take you SO far in life and business.

  • "Will this matter in 10 minutes, 10 months, or 10 years?"

    Asking myself this simple question has been a game-changer for me and I’ll tell you why…

  • Can I be real with you for a moment? I mean, you listen to the podcast so I already know you’re a real one.

    OK, here I go: I'd rather have someone disappointed, upset, or disliking me for being 100% true to myself, than being a mere carbon copy of who they think I should be.

    And that’s a special kind of peace that I wish for you, too.
