You’ve been told that you should have a strong WHY attached to your goals, right? You’ve been told to “start with WHY!” You’ve heard that when you have a strong enough WHY you will find the HOW to reach your goals. All of these can be true, but can also lead you down the wrong […]

This is unlike any episode I’ve done before. It is a travel journal. Join me as I share the experience of traveling over 2,000 miles by land and going on a cruise with 5 kids. You’ll hear about our very special day on CocoCay, Bahamas, where I asked Elizabeth to marry me and she said […]
