Dec 19th, 2022 4m 33s

Whether it’s in your morning routine or not, or if you already messed up any given day, don’t skip or ruin the rest of the day because of that. Still respond appropriately regardless in any moment. 2nd, confidence and humility together.

11/20/22 - slow down

11/16/2022 - ER perspective

Nov 16th, 2022 4m 54s

10/11/2021 - the love note

Oct 11th, 2021 2m 52s

10/01/2021 - arctic circle toys

Oct 1st, 2021 1m 20s

9/30/2021 - putting people first

Sep 30th, 2021 3m 8s

Business and life is hard in just the practices and things to accomplish without throwing in real human dynamics and people problems into the mix. But focus on people and the big picture and you’ll be good.

9/29/2021 - a happy visit

Sep 29th, 2021 2m 7s

Aug 16th, 2021 1m 27s

I want to become more someone that others can’t help but like and they kind of light up and you see happiness in their eyes when they say they know you to someone else.
