"Life is like a prism. What you see depends on how you turn the glass." – Jonathan Kellerman

Do you know what happens when you shine light into a glass prism?

If you are familiar with Pink Floyd's famous album The Dark Side of The Moon, you know exactly what I am talking about. And if classic rock is not your thing, here's what happens. When you shine white light into a glass triangle, it refracts the light into a beautiful spectrum of colors. However, I recently discovered through my research…

How do you know when “good enough” is good enough? Many people don’t know when to stop working on a project. We spend inordinate amounts of time getting things just right instead of getting them good enough and then moving on. The challenge is understanding why you are doing it in the first place.

Each task or project you work on is just one short step on a much longer upward staircase. If you focus on perfectly designing every step, you will find yourself way behind where you could have been o…

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." – John F. Kennedy

Science fiction is reality. That's not something I ever thought I would say, but the wildest sci-fi from my childhood is not only happening right now, but a few of my clients are making it a reality.

One of my clients uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create new medicines faster than ever, while another is on the verge of bringing back extinct species…

"If you give me a lever and a place to stand, I can move the world." – Archimedes

If you are anything like me, you are driven to make an impact. However, making an impact requires a lot of effort, and it can be challenging to keep working at it. Sometimes it feels like we are constantly working but not making any progress.

The question is: How can we change the tide in our favor? How do we get more impact with less effort? It all comes down to leverage. When I think of leverage, I think of the…

"When you feel fulfilled, your world expands rather than constricts." – Marshall Goldsmith

Fulfillment has a few different meanings associated with it. Many people often think of inventory, logistics, and order fulfillment. Did the right thing go to the right place at the right time, and was everyone happy?

One of the other meanings that come to mind is far more challenging. It is a nebulously defined feeling of being satiated. The dictionary is the best place to start when something is hard t…

I am about to make a very bold statement. We’ve all heard stories of how some random kid in elementary school one day declared during recess that they were going to be famous and then… actually went on to become famous.

Well, in the same spirit, my bold statement is that when it comes to adopting a fulfillment mindset, I’m going to be known as an expert. Not just amongst my peers. Not just in the US but globally.

How do I know this? Because fulfillment is the core theme of my personal journey.…

I recently laughed to myself about an old scene from the movie Airplane. At one point, they turn on the emergency autopilot, and a funny blow-up pilot with a hat ends up flying the plane. It had me thinking about the concept of autopilot in our lives and how it can help or hurt us.

Marshall Goldsmith, the top executive coach in the world, and Barack Obama both talk about how they put their daily wardrobe on autopilot. They both own multiple pairs of the same shirt and pants they wear every day.…

Would you like to hear the three questions to ask yourself to find freedom in your business?

In 2018, I chose to leave the corporate world. It was a huge expression of my commitment to personal freedom. And it was terrifying because I was leaving behind everything I knew. I was Christopher Columbus sailing off into a great mystery, trusting with all my heart that a whole new world was out there… somewhere. I knew that if I discovered this new world, I could chart the path for other people who w…

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you." – Anne Lamott

I love this quote by the author Anne Lamott because it speaks to something profound.

From my own experience and the experience of the countless people I have worked with, we have to unplug from time to time to be at our best. Think about it. We wear ourselves out if we don't take breaks throughout our workday. We get fidgety, tense, and constricted. It starts to get harder to think clearly or f…
