“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” — Napoleon Hill

About This Episode:

I had an interesting conversation the other day with a longtime friend who is a spiritual advisor and my personal mentor. Our dialogue was around when we’ll all get through this forced pause—and when it will be over. But then we realized we were focused on the wrong thing: the ending. Instead of putting our energy towards the problem, we needed to shift our perspective with the question: What can we begin?

In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I challenge us all to shift the script from focusing on problems, to creating solutions that enable us to use our purpose, passion and potential in impactful ways that bring value and service to others.

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” — Jim Rohn

About This Episode:

Have a morning routine you feel is working for you right now? There’s a lot that we can’t control right now, but the good news is that there’s still things we can control—like the perspective we choose to take, how we spend our time and the habits we create. 

In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I discuss the importance of turning habits into routines and then deconstruct my own personal morning routine to offer up some ideas on how to not just “get” through this time but help you “grow” from it.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one. — John Lennon

About This Episode:

During this pandemic, we’re being told so many things regarding how to social distance from each other. Don’t hug. Don’t touch. Stay 6 feet apart. But, let’s go in a different direction: Does physical distancing mean we need to distance ourselves emotionally, socially or mentally from others?

In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I ask the question: Are you using this time to disconnect or to reconnect? There’s a big difference between the two, and I share some thoughts on how we can leverage this time to reconnect not only with others and our family, but with ourselves.

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” — Neale Donald Walsch

About This Episode:

Do you think there’s a difference between being alive and feeling alive? It’s an energy thing. A vibration. I believe there’s a big difference between ‘being’ here, as in existing in the physical sense, and actually feeling alive. So, are you surviving or thriving?

In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I share 5 thoughts on what makes me feel fully alive in the hopes they will help do the same for you

“Positivity always wins.” — Gary Vaynerchuk

About This Episode:

The other day on my show I was talking about how we’re battling two different viruses right now: COVID-19, and Fear. More than ever before, our society is being hit with negative shots from every direction all day long due to today’s circumstances. I don’t want to minimize the real threat, but I do want to highlight the pervasive power of perpetual fear and negativity. It comes down to a ratio: the balance of positive pieces of information and the negative ones.

In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I share my ideas on how we can come together to fight the manifestations of negative news and flip the filter to power up positivity and become a beacon in this world.
