I’ll help you get your ‘SHIP’ together.
I sketch, speak, and rap to teach.
I practice what I preach.
We all have sails.
Not all of us raise them.
That opportunity you’ve been thinking about?
Raise your sail and catch it.
That business you want to start?
Raise your sail and try.
That person you want to meet?
Raise your sail and reach out.
Momentum doesn’t come from waiting.
It comes from motion.
Action starts with action.
What are you waiting for?
The sail won’t raise itself.
You're already on the stage.
Every meeting.
Every conversation.
Every time someone is listening to you.
The question isn't whether you're a public speaker. It's whether you're going to start showing up like one.
Your business has two jobs.
The one that makes you money.
And the one that keeps it running.

No pain. No gain.
First real foil injury… rusty nail on the dock.
Healed up. Back on the board.
Here’s the truth about trying something new:
You’re going to get hurt.
Maybe not physically… but mentally, emotionally, confidence-wise.
What matters is how you respond.
3 things that help me:
1. Expect the fall. It’s part of the process
2. Shorten the gap between setback and comeback
3. Focus on the lesson, not the pain
Trying → falling → learning → growing
That’s the cycle.
What are you getting back on?
What does your laptop say about you.

Come get your SpeakerSHIP together.

The more you learn, the more you earn.
Not just knowledge.
Applied knowledge.
Communicated clearly.
If you can’t explain your ideas, you can’t scale them.
That’s why speaking matters.

I closed a deal once without a pitch deck.
No slides. No follow-up. Just a story.
It changed how I look at sales forever.
People do business with people they know, like, and trust. And the fastest way to get there is to tell them something real.
That's one of the things I'm teaching at my SpeakerSHIP Communication Workshop on April 11th in Rancho Cucamonga.
How to find your stories. How to tell them. How to link them to what you're selling.
Four hours. Real tools. You'll use them the same week.

In a world with more and more AI slop, use the fewest words to say the most.
5+ years ago, I had a crazy idea to mix two things I love.
Speaking 🗣️ + Boating 🚢
I didn’t know what it would look like.
I didn’t know how to pull it off.
I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
But I kept talking about it, dreaming about it, taking baby steps toward something I couldn’t fully see yet.
Tomorrow, it launches.
The idea 💡: A speaking workshop on a boat.
I call it SpeakerSHIP at Sea 🌊
And honestly? I’m as scared as I am excited.
The stakes are low. My first beta group are friends.
But it’s hard not to feel the weight of it. Hard not to obsess over every detail being perfect.
It won’t be perfect. It’s the first time. And I always tell people: the first is always the worst.
Things will be rough around the edges. My planned agenda probably won’t go the way I’m envisioning it right now.
But it’s happening.
This is the shakedown. The real-world test of what works and what doesn’t. I’ve got a bigger vision for what this becomes, but I’ll never know until I cast off the lines and leave the dock.
As the countdown ticks down, I keep coming back to this:
SpeakerSHIP at Sea doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to float.

Do you ever answer a question
without actually answering the question?
It happens more than people realize.
In casual conversations it might not matter.
But in high stakes moments it can be a big mistake.
Interviews.
Presentations.
Media.
Leadership conversations.
One simple tip to always have a strong answer.
Have a story ready to tell.
Stories communicate context, insight, and meaning in a way facts alone cannot.
After hosting hundreds of podcast episodes, I can tell you my favorite answers almost always come in the form of a story.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles.
