  • It Goes By Fast
    Jun 9 2026

    Four words carved into a cobblestone stopped me decades ago and I've never forgotten them. It goes by fast. Someone chose not to put their name on that stone. They used it to remind us. This episode is me passing that on to you.

  • No More Someday
    Jun 4 2026

    Don't die with your sailboat in the driveway.

    That line from the movie Nomadland stopped me cold and it's the reason I'm making this video. We all have a version of the sailboat. The dream we keep meaning to chase. The life we keep meaning to live. We tell ourselves: when things settle, when I have more time, when I retire. But things rarely settle. And we don't get this time back.

    In this video I share the dream I kept saying someday to and what it actually took to move it out of the driveway.

    No more someday. Today.

  • You Don't Have To Feel Like Doing It
    Jun 2 2026

    That voice that says I don't feel like it? It's not going anywhere. And that's okay.

    In this video I'm talking about one of the most honest truths about doing hard things — motivation usually comes after you show up, not before. Whether it's getting to the gym, making the call, or finally starting that thing you've been avoiding, waiting to feel ready is the trap.

    You don't have to feel like doing it. You just have to do it.

    In this Spark:

    - Why motivation may never show up before the hard thing

    - The shift that happens when you show up anyway

    - A simple challenge to do this week
