We all love free coffee refills—it's a classic perk of the American diner. But what happens when we start treating our energy the same way—as if it's unlimited? 

In this episode, we explore what it means to push ourselves without pause, and the cost of ignoring the need for intentional rest. We'll sip and rethink high performance through the lens of cognitive endurance, and discover how sustainable success comes from pacing ourselves for the long game—because life isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.

How much do you really know about the companies you support? I'm not talking about who and which organizations they donate to, politicians they support, or even how much money it's making you. 

I am talking about how they treat their people. Do they have leaders with morals and integrity who put people first or does greed lead? 

Let's sip on why this matters and how to influence a proper people culture where you work and invest your money.

We are independent workers in an increasingly interdependent world. Then why are some people not collaborative and still insist on going at it alone? Let's sip the error of these ways. Together. Grab your coffee and let's collab!

I had the honor to sip with the inspiring TEDx Speaker Robin Nathaniel. Robin has a story of resilience, creativity, and reinvention. Beginning his career as a musician, Robin’s artistic roots laid a unique foundation for his journey. This experience in music, with its emphasis on connection and storytelling, naturally paved the way for his transition into the professional world of social media. Living by the motto "Connect.
