SPIRIT MEDIA- Emmy-Nominated TV, LIVE & Virtual Event Director (Over 10K Productions), Video Producer, Marketing Strategist, Author / Trainer: 7DRM-The 7 Disciplines of Relationship Marketing, NDE & Leadership Speaker❤️

On January 28th, 1999 while on a flight to Nashville, I died… and it may have been the greatest thing that ever happened to me. 

For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a television and live event director with global icons like the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Maroon 5, Kenny Chesney, and visionary producers like Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice, Shark Tank). 

I've partnered with world leaders and Fortune 500 brands — but everything changed after my near-death experience.

From that moment, Spirit Media was reborn.

Now, we harness the power of video and LIVE event production to move hearts, inspire action, and transform lives with award-winning storytelling experiences. 

What we create:

🎬 Brand Films • Explainers • Investor Videos

🎬 Live & Virtual Events • Fundraisers • Capital Campaigns

🎬 Sales Kick-Offs • Award Shows • Speaker Coaching

We’ve helped clients raise and generate hundreds of millions — all by strategically blending the power of story with a heart for genuine relationships and lasting impact.

Additionally, I am the author of 7DRM- The 7 Disciplines of Relationship Marketing. 

This isn’t just the story of my near-death experience — it’s the discovery of the 7DRM Marketing and Messaging Strategy, a breakthrough system that has transformed organizations by bringing clarity, confidence, and impact to their message. It can do the same for you.

THE DAY I DIED, I DISCOVERED I WASN'T LIVING.

From the outside, my life looked successful.

But after I died, I saw the truth with brutal clarity:

I wasn't leading my life.

I was following traffic.

Fast lane.

Eyes on the car ahead.

Wiping fog off the windshield and calling that "vision."

I thought I had clarity.

Have you ever seen where a baby gets glasses and can see for the first time?

That was me!

I WAS LIVING A LIFE OF CONFORMITY WHILE WEARING A CONFIDENCE COSTUME.

The real breakthrough came when I stopped copying other people's formulas for success and started asking the scarier questions:

❤️ Who am I actually?

❤️ Why am I really here?

❤️ What impact am I uniquely designed to make?

Here's the truth:

WE ALL KNOW HOW TO IMITATE SUCCESS.

But fulfillment? That has your name on it.

Chasing happiness without clarity is like living on cotton candy. It looks sweet, feels exciting, and leaves you empty, exhausted, and hungry for more.

CLARITY DOESN'T COME FROM THE CROWD.

It comes from your core.

If you've ever felt successful but not fulfilled, you might be standing on diamonds you've never been taught to see.

Are you ready to discover those diamonds?

Emmy-Nominated Video & Live Event Director | Author | Keynote Speaker 🎬❤️🎬 I help companies and nonprofits grow, inspire and tell their BRAND STORY through compelling brand VIDEOS and impactful LIVE EVENT experiences.

AN EXPENSIVE VIDEO WON'T SAVE YOUR BUSINESS BUT A CHEAP VIDEO CAN DESTROY YOUR BUSINESS.

I've directed for 30+ years. Worked with Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Fortune 500 brands. Here's what I know:

You can spend $100K on a brand film and get ZERO engagement if the story doesn't land.

You can have cinematic footage but without understanding your Brand Soul, it's just pretty pictures.

You can hire top directors, but if the narrative arc is weak, budget doesn't matter.

Look at Super Bowl ads?

How many do you actually remember?

Expensive or inexpensive productions mean nothing without:

🎬 Your brand story
🎬 Emotional connection
🎬 A memorable takeaway

That's why I'm excited to bring you our updated Brand Story Webclass on March 18th.

I wanted to add MORE value. More frameworks. More practical tools that you can use immediately.

In the webclass, you'll learn the framework I use to uncover the secret inside your Brand Soul, how to refine your brand story, and the key to unlocking your greatest career, brand, business.

Join me March 18th. And let's uncover the diamonds in your brand story.

Emmy-nominated director who died January 28, 1999 and came back with a mission: help you tell stories that matter.

YOUR FAVORITE GURU IS LIKELY A FAKE!

Here's why:

Too many unverified experts claim they have the framework to change your life with nothing more profound than what you'll find on ChatGPT.

Virtually all gurus fall in to one of three categories.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 - Studies content endlessly, quotes sources like an authority, but has zero lived experience.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - A human news feed pumping out tactics and trends they've never actually practiced.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 - Not only mastered their craft but lived it, navigated real-life settings, and delivers real actionable value.

So how do you spot the difference?

REAL EXPERTISE ISN'T ABOUT KNOWLEDGE. IT'S ABOUT REAL- LIVED EXPERIENCE.

Here's what I've learned:

🎬 The brain outsources decisions to people that we believe we can trust and make our lives simple.

🎬 A good salesperson can give the illusion of trust.

🎬 The best experts don't just regurgitate. They translate their mastery into understandable frameworks that produce lasting results.

That's what true expertise does.

So be careful who you choose to be your next guru.

I believe in you!

YOUR BRAIN DECIDES IF YOU'RE WORTH LISTENING TO IN 100 MILLISECONDS.

And that's why some of the most talented people get ignored.

For over 30 years I've worked in the television and entertainment space and here's the pattern...

RESONATING MESSAGE + CAPTIVATING MESSENGER

                                   = STAR POWER

Without this combination, brilliant brands $personal or corporate$ drift into a distracting sea of noise.

The solution is simpler than you think.

1) 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: Uncover the unique power of your brand story.

2) 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿: Develop the charisma style to amplify it.

3) 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Be faithful to show up, be present, and share your story with passion and conviction.

4) 𝗔𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Partner with those who share your purpose and mission and build an unstoppable team that changes the world.

Your Brand Soul is when your story, your presence, and your purpose all point in the same direction.

THIS IS THE SECRET TO BECOMING MAGNETIC AND UNIGNORABLE.

JOIN ME MARCH 19 for a FREE Webclass where I'll teach this exact framework that's helped clients build their careers, their brands, and their businesses.

THE SECRET TO BEING MAGNETIC...

It's making others feel seen.

As a television and entertainment director $especially in corporate environments$, I've learned something powerful:

The most engaging people don't just execute a vision.

They're the ones who make you feel like a valued partner in creating it.

When I work with a camera operator and ask, "What angle do you see?" they lean in. When I ask talent, "How would you say this?" they own it.

Suddenly, they're not just executing my vision.

They're co-creating it.

This is the IKEA effect in action.

Behavioral research shows we value what we help build.

When people participate in creating something, they care more.

They protect it.

They champion it.

Because you championed them.

The magnetic quality of being an engaging leader doesn't mean people simply look at you.

What makes them magnetic is making others feel seen, heard, and valued.

Being ENGAGING is one of the 10 qualities that will make you unignorable and it will amplify the power of your brand story.

Ready to learn more?

Join me March 19 for my FREE Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass where I'll reveal all 10 qualities that make you unignorable and help you build your career, your brand, and your business.

CONSISTENCY MAY BE KILLING YOUR BRAND.

Especially if you're consistently mediocre.

We've all seen the death recipe before...

Post #1 (mildly impressed).

Post #2 (less impressed).

Post #3 (question whether to open).

Post #4 (ignore entirely).

Post #5 (your mediocre brand has become cemented in the mind of the viewer).

I've worked with some of the greatest thought leaders including Ken Blanchard, John Maxwell, Robert Kiyosaki, Barbara Corcoran, and Bobby Brown.

THEIR SIGNATURE BRAND IS CONSISTENT VALUE.

The question is, do you know and live your brand value?

So whether you're trying to make your first million or even billions, knowing your signature brand and bringing it to life is the key to advancing your career, your brand, and your business.

That's why on March 18, I'm teaching this exact framework in my Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass.

The same system that converts for my clients.

AUTHENTICITY WON'T SAVE YOUR BRAND.

Because most people are performing authenticity, not living it.

In television and entertainment, we fully accept that actors step into roles that aren’t truly theirs. With costumes, makeup, and props, they become the character we’re eager to cast.

But while those costumes come off at the end of the day in entertainment, in business we often forget to take them off — and slowly begin believing the character is who we really are.

REAL AUTHENTICITY ISN'T A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT YOU WEAR OR SPRAY ON.

It's INTEGRITY—from the Latin "integer," meaning WHOLE NUMBER.

Not a fraction. Not divided. CONSISTENT UNDIVIDED AUTHENTICITY.

And here's the truth: we're ALL peeling away veils of social conditioning, fear, and echoes of self-doubt.

This isn't about just "being real".

It's about intimate self-discovery.

When I died in 1999. That experience taught me that: authenticity isn't a social media filter. It's what's left when everything else is stripped away.

Your VALUES and CHARACTER don't just shape your message.

They reveal your BRAND STORY.

That's what I'm teaching March 18th in my FREE Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass.

So you can discover your brand story that is authentically you.

IS CHASING GOALS HURTING YOU?

There's a really good chance that your goals are more likely to lead you to distraction than destiny.

Here's what I learned after my death:

Goals without missions are just dopamine hits disguised as progress.

You check the box.

You feel good.

Then you wonder why you still feel empty.

Here's the difference:

🎬 Your MISSIONS are an expression of your purpose.

🎬 Your GOALS, then, should be the accountability and activation of your MISSIONS.

WHEN YOUR MISSIONS ARE AN EXPRESSION OF YOUR PURPOSE, EVERY GOAL TRANSFORMS FROM A CHECKBOX INTO A SACRED DUTY.

Suddenly you have:

❤️ Clarity on roles

❤️ Accountability that matters

❤️ Timelines that serve something bigger

❤️ Focus that cuts through noise

This is what I teach in my book 7DRM - 𝘛𝘩𝘦 7 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 and my upcoming Discover Your Brand Soul Masterclass.

Missions and goals without purpose just make busy.

So ask yourself:

Are your goals rooted in your missions?

Let me help you uncover the root behind your purpose and missions because it is the foundation of discovering the power in your brand story.

MOST BRANDS ARE LYING TO YOU.

But let's be real.

This isn't a moral indictment.

It is a product of our own self-deception.

When brands try to express themselves, we often spend more time copying, conforming, and camouflaging in hopes of becoming something you will like (and buy).

This actually works a little bit...

Unless you want to uncover and live up to your highest brand value.

This is the standard set by some of the most iconic, trusted, and respected global brands such as:

Apple
Lexus
Patagonia
Nike
Lego
BMW
IKEA
Hermes
Chanel
Ralph Lauren
Prada
Gucci

These brands not only have a powerful brand story and culture, they are magnetic brands because people know what they stand for and people aspire to be like these brands.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE MAGNETIZED TO YOU AND ASPIRE TO BE LIKE YOUR BRAND?

The gap between those iconic brands and yours?

It's not budget or industry.

It's clarity.

You don't really know your brand story and what you actually stand for yet.

That's why I created the Discover Your Brand Soul Masterclass.

By the end, you'll strip away the BS and find what's actually true about you, learn how to own it, and ultimately live it out loud.

Because once you truly know your brand soul, you can never be ignored again.

BEING PRESENT IS A SMALL SKILL WITH A PROFOUND BENEFIT.

It's that subtle signal your brain sends before your mouth opens.

And most people have no idea what signal they're sending.

After 30+ years directing television, I've watched casting decisions happen in seconds. Before anyone speaks a word.

The same "casting" happens in every business relationship.

The brain isn't asking "Are you talented?"

It's asking:

🎬 Are you really present?
🎬 Are you here for the right reasons?
🎬 Do you really hear my wants and needs?
🎬 Are you worth my attention?

That judgment lands in 100 milliseconds. Posture. Energy. Tone. Eye contact. All of it computes before your first word.

Presence isn't about beauty. It's about believability.

In casting, presence can get you the callback.

In business, it gets you the meeting, the trust, and the potential deal.

But here's what most people miss:

PRESENCE OPENS THE DOOR. CHARACTER KEEPS PEOPLE BELIEVING IN YOU.

Presence is a signal we display.

The character behind your Brand Soul is what you radiate.

AND YOU CAN'T FAKE EITHER FOR LONG.

The world is casting you every single day. What signal are you broadcasting?

That's exactly what we work on together in the Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass, Thursday March 19 at 1pm.

Most brands are DYING a very uncomfortable death.

That splashing and gulping sound is the terrified gasping in the red ocean of noise and brand confusion.

Many organizations feel this but they don't know how to fix it.

They look and model themselves after other mediocre brands only to realize that they are attaching themselves to sinking ships.

BUT THERE IS HOPE FOR YOUR BRAND.

After spending 30+ years helping global artists and Fortune 500 brands define their video and dynamic brand strategy, I can tell you the difference between brands that thrive and brands that barely survive:

🎬 Thriving brands know their WHY
🎬 Thriving brands tell stories that MOVE people
🎬 Thriving brands build lasting relationships

Struggling brands? They live in the rat-race of transactional marketing, chasing the latest tool, trend, and tactic.

READY TO LEARN THE SECRET TO UNCOVERING THE GREAT BRAND THAT LIVES WITHIN YOU?

On March 18th, I'm hosting my Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass.

This is the exact framework I've used to help clients raise millions through strategic storytelling.

• Build your honest and unique brand story
• Bypass logical defenses with emotional connection
• Apply a storytelling framework that moves people to action

MISS THE ORDER = MISS THE MARK

We've all heard the saying, "Ready! Set! Go!"

Here's what I see constantly: leaders with the right ingredients, the right budget, the right team... and they still fail. Know why? They're skipping steps...

Or at least shortcutting the process.

After my death, I was ready to step into a higher calling in television and media. With that push, I committed to changing the game and discovered a mind-blowing framework that can transform...

MARKETING INTO MOVEMENTS.

But one of the basic keys is getting actions in the right order $and don't skip the steps$.

Think of it like nitroglycerin. You can have all the right ingredients, but if you don't put them in the right order and proportions, nothing explodes.

So before you introduce the next power campaign, honor this foundational LAUNCH SEQUENCE.

🎬 Strategy

🎬 Positioning

🎬 Brand Soul

🎬 Messaging

🎬 Messengers

🎬 Story Structure

🎬 Distribution

🎬 Multiplication

🎬 Refinement

🎬 Repeat

The sequence matters and understanding each step will play a critical role in you business success.

Want some help in understanding the structure and how to launch your next campaign?

Join me in my Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass March 19, 1pm, where I can help you map out the exact sequence for your next campaign.

JESUS BUILT THE GREATEST AMBASSADOR NETWORK IN HISTORY.

After my death, I did extensive research on the greatest influencers and world-changers in history.

The thing that shocked me, when I got to the life of Jesus, was that he was not conducting traditional "alter-calls" (pursuing follower counts).

He was building an army of ambassadors.

Everyone of his disciples were champions for the message.

They each would:

❤️ Repeat the message passionately.

❤️ Speak to the specific targeted audiences.

❤️ Expand ethnic and geographic reach.

❤️ Put their life on the line for their beliefs (11 of the 12 were killed for their faith).

Do you and your brand story have passionate ambassadors?

This is one of the strategic models I'll be sharing in my FREE Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass, Thursday March 19th, 1pm.

YOUR CHARISMA WILL EITHER AMPLIFY OR UNDERMINE THE POWER OF YOUR STORY.

It is not a performance.

It's emotional presence.

We follow energy before we follow logic.

Here's what I mean:

Two leaders say the exact same thing.

One speaks flatly, delivering facts without feeling.

The other speaks with warmth, conviction, and calm confidence.

The second leader feels more trustworthy — instantly.

Why?

After 30+ years in television and entertainment, I've watched casting directors make split-second decisions about people. They're reading energy. Believability. Presence. Role-fit.

And here's the truth: we all do this.

We "cast" people every day — deciding in moments whether someone is a leader or follower, expert or amateur, trustworthy or risky.

It's the warmth and conviction you project that literally encourages people to embrace or reject you and your story.

This isn't about being loud or performing.

It's about genuine connection. It's about bringing your full presence to every interaction.

Combined with a powerful story, I can teach you how to elevate your authentic charisma energy and experience the authority and respect you deserve.

YOU CAN'T TELL A GREAT STORY…

Until you learn how to start one.

One of the joys of working with some of the great masters of storytelling has been learning how to bend and twist the classic story arc.

But even if your framework is fabulous, how you start will determine whether anybody sticks around to hear the rest of the story.

Here are 5 classic story starts that may get you on the right foot:

🎬 The Bold Declaration
- Unapologetically state your core beliefs (a powerful statistic helps)

🎬 The Mystery Hook
- Start with an unresolved contradiction or puzzle

🎬 The Shocking Confession
- Admit something vulnerable, surprising, and human

🎬 The Universal Truth
- Use a big relatable insight but then personalize it

🎬 The Contrarian Take
- Start with something that feels wrong and then reveal why it's true

Are you tired of being ignored?

WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE AND IT'S LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO?
...

Look yourself directly in the eye.

You haven't.

No one has.

At best, you've seen a reflection.

You know what Stan Lee used to say (the architect of Marvel)?

"INSIDE EVERY FLAWED HUMAN BEING IS A SUPERHERO WAITING TO EMERGE."

I think about that every Monday morning.

Not because Mondays are bad. But because most of us are living in what I call a house of mirrors.

You look at yourself through one mirror and you see your failures.

Another mirror shows your fears.

Another shows what everyone else thinks you should be.

And after years of distorted reflections, you start to believe that's who you really are.

But here's the truth I learned after I died:

You were born for MORE.

The question isn't "How do I get through another Monday?"

The question is: WHY ARE YOU ALIVE TODAY?

What if the superhero inside you is just waiting for you to wake up?

To cut through the distortions and discover the gold mine just waiting for inside YOUR BRAND STORY?

That's what we're doing in the Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass.

Not to escape dread. But to discover the power to build your authentic brand, business and authority.

In less than 90 minutes, I'll share the framework that's helped create movements worth billions.

YOUR BRAND ISN'T BROKEN.

Your story just isn't landing. And it's costing you more than you think.

I've directed Fortune 500 brands and global artists for 30 years.

But what's the difference between brands that actually break through versus the ones that disappear?

It's not budget. It's not talent.

It's whether they know their Brand Soul.

Most companies throw content at the wall hoping something sticks. They post features. Benefits. Product shots. Then wonder why engagement flatlines.

Here's what I learned after dying in 1999 and helping clients close deals worth billions:

Most brands live in a distorted house of mirrors. They copy and camouflage their message to what they think people will buy, instead of being honest about who they are and how they can uniquely help.

The fix? The Clarity Compass.

It's Passion + Gifting + Experience aligned into ONE CLEAR STORY:

🎬 Your breakthrough moment
🎬 Your audience's deepest pain point
🎬 A narrative arc that creates dwell time
🎬 One takeaway they can use TODAY

And the results of our team implementing a strategic dynamic brand story to their media and events, speak for themselves.

Non-Profit Organizations: $1M+ campaigns.
Homeopathic Medicine: $20M+ sale.
Merchant Services: $150M sale.
Cyber Security: $700M sale.
Semi-Conductors: $22B merger.

Five industries. One framework. Billions in outcomes.

That's why I'm hosting my FREE Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass on March 18th.

You'll learn the exact framework that's helped some clients make their first million while helping others make billions.

Not theory.

Real storytelling strategy that converts.

MARKETING RENTS ATTENTION. MEANING MOVES INTO YOUR HEART.

I spent 30 years in television chasing eyeballs. Then I died and realized I'd been measuring the wrong thing.

People will forget your slick message.

But they will always remember how you made them feel... especially, about themselves.

Studies in organizational psychology confirm what I've witnessed on every set, every campaign, every brand story:

Shared meaning predicts engagement, commitment, and long-term loyalty in ways simple tactics never will.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

🎬 Stop selling features. Start serving transformation.

🎬 Stop chasing eyeballs. Start changing real lives.

🎬 Stop stealing attention. Start giving value.

This is part of discovering your Brand Soul, and your Brand Story, so that you bring every touchpoint into harmony, and deliver the outcomes your audience craves.

That's what shared meaning does.

❤️ Your clients become partner-ambassadors.

❤️ Your work becomes a shared legacy.

Your brand story becomes something your audience actually believes in.
