I’ve had some really rough days recently. Getting sucked down the dark hallways. Feeling that deep heaviness, fear, anxiety. I hope you’ve somehow managed to swerve around this kind of thing. Maybe the deep breathing helps. Or taking time to meditate every day. Or simply freezing the newsfeed before you lose your mind. Since I [...]
Things are pretty crazy around here in Seattle, around the country, and around the world. It’s scary and things are changing fast. Besides prepping, washing your hands and all of that, we may be doing a whole lot of ‘social distancing’ for awhile. While we all try not to freak out, I’ve been looking for [...]

Below are the 7 MindSets that will help you go from Stuck to SuperStar! 1. Ikigai Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means ‘a reason for being’. It is the intersection of [...]
Just like you, I’ve done many jobs in my life. I’ve worked illegally and underage at a scrap yard. I’ve interviewed rock stars. I’ve mowed grass. I’ve helped people heal and thrive.

Thought is cause. What the hell am I talking about? Fair question. Sometimes I speak in riddles. Here’s the scoop. Everything in the human world began in one place. Sometimes this is obvious. Sometimes not. I’m talking about our minds. Every single thing that every single human has ever done in this world starts here. [...]
I am not a race car drive. Nor do I play one on TV. Many years ago, I had an amazing boss at KNDD, 107.7 The End, the radio station that brought Seattle’s grunge music to the world. Anna was one of the best managers I’ve ever worked with. At the time, she was in [...]
