From high-end photographer to successful coach
Jeffrey Shaw is a coach with a really cool story. In his former life, Jeffrey was a photographer who only worked with high-end clients (and a number of celebrities). Now he's a coach in the creativity space, and he's doing very well. I had him on the podcast today to...
Why Donnie does daily emails
Donnie DeSanti, a health and wellness coach who's a client in one of my group programs, started emailing his list daily a few months ago. I asked him how he's making out with them, and he told me this: ===== "You always hear the power of your list, and how much you...
Don’t worry, we’re exclusive

That time when Warren Sapp saved my bacon

Fighting with one hand tied behind your back
Earlier today I wrote about President Kennedy, and the importance of making decisions. Although JFK is often remembered as being perfect, he was human and made his share of mistakes. He made plenty during the failed attempt by the US to overthrow Fidel Castro in the...
