In 1999 I was a sales leader for SYSCO Denver.

I was doing pretty well, but saw that there was an imbalance.

I had the blood, sweat and tears and my managers had nice cushy offices with pictures of beach vacations.

- I was making $80k/year working 60 hours/week
- They were making $250k at 30 hours/week
- And, SYSCO was a $30B/year company

I realized then and there that I wanted a better lifestyle, so my entrepreneurial adventures began.


The path to success has never been easy. 

In 2003, after 15 years of heavy drinking, I was able to get sober.


That’s an important part of my story, because I learned that alcohol isn't the problem.

It’s what I used to cope with the REAL problem... my thinking.

If we can master our mindset, we can design a beautiful life.


I've built 2 multimillion dollar companies and managed dozens of teams.

The first was a Rare Coins and Precious Metals Company, which was my greatest teacher and changed my life forever.

It taught me that if we don’t manage our minds, life becomes very difficult.

And, even if we make some money, we’re struggling in other areas like our relationships or health.


No matter how successful we become, if we’re not masters of our minds, we’re not as successful as we could be.

I’ve coached some of the highest level leaders and entrepreneurs to master their minds, scale their businesses and build beautiful lives.


It’s never an easy process, but well worth the effort.

And, with the right guidance, it’s MUCH easier.


In 2021, I realized that Linkedin is much more than just a job posting platform, so I decided to build a brand and business on here which has transformed my life!

And, I help others do the same.

- I am a business coach to elite leaders and entrepreneurs
- I have an investment education/management company
- I now have 185,000 Linkedin followers (350,000 total)
- I live on the Caribbean Sea in Playa Del Carmen, MX
- I have a newsletter with over 135,000 subscribers
- I live in Valencia, Spain 3 months per year
- I am a pretend middle-aged athlete

I went from making $80k and building somebody else’s dreams,

To unlimited potential and living my own dreams everyday!

Life will always be challenging.
That part doesn’t change.
No matter how successful you become…

How much money you make…
How disciplined or spiritual 
or optimized you are…

There will still be pressure.
There will still be uncertainty.
There will still be seasons that stretch 
you in ways you didn’t expect.

I’ve never met anyone who “arrived” 
at a level where problems disappeared.

What changes isn’t the existence of challenge.
It’s the way they see it.

Because sometimes the 
problem isn’t your life.
It’s your glasses.

You can be standing in the 
exact same situation
with the exact same facts
and experience two completely different 
realities based on the lens 
you’re looking through.

The same event can feel like:
• A crisis
• Or a classroom

• A rejection
• Or a redirection

• A breakdown
• Or a breakthrough

Nothing externally changed.
Your perspective did.

Here are 5 “New Glasses” That Change Everything:

1/ From “Why Is This Happening To Me?”
 ↳ To “What Is This Teaching Me?”
 Victimhood drains you
 Curiosity strengthens you

2/ From “This Is Too Hard”
 ↳ To “This Is Building Me”
 Growth always feels uncomfortable
 Muscles tear before they grow

3/ From “I’m Behind”
 ↳ To “I’m On My Own Timeline”
 Comparison creates panic
 Focus creates progress

4/ From “I Failed”
 ↳ To “I Learned”
 Failure is data
 Data makes you dangerous in the best way

5/ From “I Can’t Handle This”
 ↳ To “I Haven’t Figured It Out Yet”
 Add “yet” to your vocabulary
 It keeps the door open

Life doesn’t promise comfort.
It promises growth.

But growth seen through the right lens
builds strength instead of resentment.
Wisdom instead of bitterness.
Resilience instead of fear.

You don’t always need a new life.
Sometimes you just need 
a new pair of glasses.

How are you seeing things right now?

Marketing and branding are changing in real time.
Not every decade. Not every year. 
Every single day.

When Mercedes-Benz began in 1886, 
branding looked very different.
There was no social media.
No paid ads dashboard.
No email funnels.

Reputation spread slowly.
Word of mouth traveled at 
the speed of conversation.
Trust was built over years... 
sometimes generations.

Today?
A brand can be built in 30 days.
And destroyed in 30 minutes.

The way Mercedes marketed 140 years ago 
is not the way they marketed 20 years ago.
And it’s definitely not the way 
they market today.

Now ask yourself this:
What will branding look like in 5 years?
At this pace… probably unrecognizable.
Maybe even in 5 months.

Algorithms shift.
Platforms evolve.
AI rewrites the rules overnight.

What worked last quarter
can already feel outdated.

Here’s the hard truth:
We used to be able to fall behind a little.
There wasn’t much to catch up on.
Change was slower.

Now?
If you stop innovating for a year,
you’re not a year behind.
You might be five.
The gap compounds.

If we’re not upgrading our systems, 
our thinking, our skill sets, and even 
our identities in real time… 
the market won’t wait for us.

This isn’t about chasing every shiny object.
It’s about staying adaptable.

The companies that win aren’t the biggest.
They’re the fastest learners.
The leaders who win aren’t the loudest.
They’re the most flexible.
Innovation is no longer a competitive edge.
It’s survival.

The future doesn’t punish slow starters.
It punishes slow adapters.

Are you building for the world that was…
Or the one that’s coming next?

We’ve all been there. 
When the wheels come off.
And, everything falls apart.

You have the perfect project plan, the team 
is aligned, and the finish line is in sight. 

Then... BOOM!!! 
Your best client quits, a technical bug 
wipes a week of work, or the market 
shifts overnight. 

The wheels haven't just wobbled... 
they’ve completely come off.

In these high-pressure moments, 
your leadership isn't defined by the 
crisis itself, but by your internal 
operating system...
By your response to the crisis.

Most people fall into one of three categories:

1/ The Reactor
 ↳ Feels the chaos and amplifies it
 ↳ Makes fast, emotional decisions 
just to feel in control
 ↳ Focuses on putting out fires instead 
of finding the root cause

2/ The Pretender
 ↳ Acts like nothing is wrong
 ↳ Pushes harder on a broken strategy
 ↳ Hopes effort will fix what requires clarity

3/ The Responder
 ↳ Pauses before speaking
 ↳ Separates emotion from data
 ↳ Asks, “What is the most intelligent 
move right now?”

If you want to lead well when things 
fall apart, do this:

1/ Force the Pause
 ↳ When the wheels are off, speed makes it worse
 ↳ Step back, breathe, think
 ↳ Ten calm minutes can save ten chaotic days

2/ Audit the Damage, Not the Blame
 ↳ This is not the moment to find a scapegoat
 ↳ Get clear on what actually happened
 ↳ Facts first, feelings second

3/ Establish the New Baseline
 ↳ The old plan is gone
 ↳ Accept reality fast
 ↳ Build forward from what is true now, 
not what “should” have happened.

Character is not built in a crisis.
It is REVEALED in the crisis.

The best leaders are not the ones who never fall.
They are the ones who can steady themselves 
faster than everyone else.

When things go sideways, do you react… or respond?

Emotional Intelligence isn’t soft.

It’s strategic.

For years, IQ and technical skill were 
enough to get you in the room.

Not anymore.

If you lead people…
 Build companies…
 Raise capital…
 Parent kids…
 Or simply want a peaceful life…
EQ is not optional.

First, what is Emotional Intelligence?

It’s the ability to understand and 
manage your own emotions…

AND to recognize and influence 
the emotions of others.

In simple terms:
It’s emotional discipline + social awareness.

And without it, talent becomes liability.

Here are the 5 Key Aspects of EQ:

1/ Self-Awareness
 ↳ Know what you’re feeling and why
 ↳ Notice your triggers before they control you
If you can’t read yourself, you can’t lead others.

2/ Self-Regulation
 ↳ Control impulses instead of reacting emotionally
 ↳ Stay steady under pressure
High performers are calm when others panic.

3/ Internal Motivation
 ↳ Driven by purpose, not ego or applause
 ↳ Focused on long-term vision over short-term emotion
Emotionally intelligent leaders don’t 
need constant validation.

4/ Empathy
 ↳ Understand what others are experiencing
 ↳ Listen to understand, not to win
People don’t follow titles.
They follow leaders who “get” them.

5/ Social Skill
 ↳ Communicate clearly and directly
 ↳ Navigate conflict without drama
 ↳ Build real trust, not surface harmony
Deals close, teams stay, cultures strengthen.

Here’s the reality:
The higher you rise, 
the more pressure you face.

Pressure doesn’t create character.
It reveals emotional maturity.

Brilliant founders fail because of ego.
Talented executives derail because of reactivity.
Smart people lose relationships because 
they can’t manage emotion.

EQ is no longer a bonus skill.
It’s a leadership requirement.

Are you working on your EQ?

“There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.”

~ Brian Tracy ~

The reality is that many people believe they still have time.  They think they can tackle tasks tomorrow.  However, when tomorrow arrives, they find new excuses and postpone their goals again and again.  Sometimes it’s due to a lack of time, money, or knowledge, or simply because the weather isn’t perfect so let’s start tomorrow.  This mindset of always having more time leads to perpetual delays as we wait for everything to be ready before starting something new.  

Given the unpredictability of life and life is so fragile, the only moment we truly control is now.  There’s no future on which to rely.  So, whatever you wish to accomplish - your projects, your dreams, or any other aspirations - you should start now.   Achieving anything worthwhile takes time, and the distractions in our lives are designed by the best developers and designers to capture our attention and rob us of our time.  

Instead of procrastinating and seeking fleeting joy, focus on what truly matters.  

The only time is now.  Choose wisely.  Wishing you some valuable time filled with “wonder”…

Leadership means empowering while assisting, at home, at work and in our community.  

Leadership is a responsibility.  

Sharing a great message/post by Fatou Seck Mathon  ❤️👏🏻

I help leaders step into bigger roles and opportunities by increasing their visibility and communicating their value. Certified Executive Coach. Leadership Consultant.

Leadership shapes more than results.

It shapes people. 

Behind every role is a human life you don’t fully see.

And your leadership leaves a mark far beyond performance.

People are not just titles.
Not just metrics.
Not just names on a slide.

They come to work as whole humans.

With pressure.
With responsibility.
With conversations from home still sitting in their mind.

And whether you notice it or not,

Your tone shapes their confidence.
Your reactions shape their safety.
Your standards shape how they see themselves.

Strong leadership starts here.

It means seeing the person, not just the output.

Listening before correcting.
Pausing before reacting.
Remembering that effort and emotion are always present, even when no one says it out loud.

This is what mature leadership looks like.

Because trust changes how people show up.

When people feel safe, they share ideas.
When they feel respected, they take ownership.
When they feel seen, they raise their own standards.

Human-centered leadership shows up in small, daily moments:

✅ How you handle mistakes
✅ The tone you use in feedback
✅ How you respond under pressure
✅ How you speak about people when they’re not in the room

These moments feel small.

They make a difference for your team.

You don’t just manage performance.
You shape people.

Results will always matter.

But long after the numbers fade,

People remember how it felt to work with you.
