In an earlier blog post I talked about a Facebook group that I participated in on creating better live video. We all had the goal of going live in this group every day for 30 days. As I mentioned, one of the profound lessons we learned was that being vulnerable on camera made for good...Read More

I love thunderstorms. I love to sit and listen to the rumble of thunder and the rain beating down on my roof. But sometimes I get scared out of my wits when a bolt of lightning hits close to home. I can just imagine what that would feel like to have 300 million volts pulse...Read More

We’ve talked about Phase I The Preparation and Phase II The Journey, and today we’ll finish up with Phase III The Return. Joseph Campbell was a mythologist who realized that all...Read More

For those that don’t know, Joseph Campbell was a mythologist who created the heroes journey concept. He realized that all stories, movies and myths had the same theme. And that’s of the hero that we follow through their life. They don’t know they’re heroes at the beginning of the story, but they have to get...Read More

In today’s episode, I dive a bit deeper into the hero’s journey, how it can be used as a self-discovery tool and how when you’re watching movies that you’re just like the heroes you see up on the screen.  I want you to never watch a movie the same way again after we talk about the...Read More
