JumpStart- Your Playlist
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS In the wonderful biography “Steve Jobs,” the author tells of a marketing scheme used to sell the original Ipods. Although not the first mp3 player, the Ipod had the wheel and that tactile feel made people fall in love with it and load their Ipods with thousands of songs. At Apple HQ […]

To You Love God Tuesday- Believe
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS As you probably know, I began a daily devotional email more than ten years ago that I pretended was from God. Blasphemous? Maybe. But I wanted readers to truly be open and not ascribe the words to any human person. I sent out those emails for more than 7 years until we […]

JumpStart- Roar
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS A few years ago, one of my publishers, Brilliance Audio, brought me to Michigan in February to record my latest book “Happy This Year.” The car service picked me up at the airport and took me straight to the studio where we had an intense 3 days of recording planned. Somehow, between […]

JumpStart- Sweet tooth
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS Believe it or not, my mother used to blame her weight struggles on her mouth. “I just have such a sweet tooth,” she’d say in her delicate southern drawl. Many people have told me that they, too, are afflicted with a “sweet tooth” and yet, having been one of those people myself […]

JumpStart- Feeling Sorry for Yourself
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS What if, rather than feeling sorry for yourself when something painful happened, you instead began to work to resolve this situation as best as you could? Look, whatever is upsetting you, you’re going to get over it so why not do it now and feel free? The pain of most experiences lingers […]

JumpStart- Gratitude
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS Many people misquote the bible saying, “For all things give thanks.” That’s not correct — it’s not FOR all things give thanks, it’s IN all things give thanks. In other words, you’re not expected to be grateful for everything that happens, rather, you’re supposed to be grateful overall. I had this point […]

To You Love God Tuesday- Release 4
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS I think the reason so many people love zombies is that we, as human beings, can relate to walking around half dead. John Lennon was never more spot on than when he observed, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” As we work, plan, and dream life slips silently […]

JumpStart- Go For It
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS It’s amazing how many opportunities surround us that we rationalize letting slip through our grasp. Recently, I was at a convention of professionals and was surprised to see every single one of them miss a blatant opportunity right in front of them. In this video, I share why we fail to take […]

JumpStart- Who Decides?
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS Restaurant portion sizes in the United States (and elsewhere) have gotten much larger over the years in an attempt to convey value. Unfortunately, this shift has lead to super-sized people who are unhealthy. It’s amazing the little decisions about ourselves that we relinquish to other people from restaurant portion sizes to the […]

JumpStart- Journaling
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS Have you noticed that most really successful people sit down and write their thoughts, plans, dreams, discoveries and problems? Throughout history great people have left a diary of some sort not so much for posterity but as a tool to work out what is, in many cases, their own madness. I was […]
