Conventions, summits, conferences - there is one for pretty much every field out there.  If you haven't yet attended one, why not?  These are the places where you can find and reach the people who are doing what you WANT to be doing.  Let's dive in to some updates and talk hypnosis conventions!

We've all seen the flashy videos of hypnotists using rapid inductions and their subjects dropping to the floor, but while it's amazing to witness, is that really a great way to do things?  In short, no.

What should you look for in a hypnotist for your event?  And hypnotists, what are some things you should consider as you head into performances?

This episode gets into that and is a great starting point for anyone looking to understand what makes a comedy hypnosis show different from other forms of entertainment.

Updates updates updates!

Gigs, new directions, and progress!  Plans for next season - blah blah blah.  You get it!

Updates!  Book is nearly complete, gained perspective from a couple of pastors, and shared some new developments about what's to come!

What would it take for you to drive like a maniac through busy traffic, weaving in and out of lanes, driving on the shoulder, cutting people off?  We all get frustrated seeing people driving like this, and where does that frustration go?  Who does it actually affect?

Simple reframing techniques can give you a significantly happier life, free of the baggage you've held onto for maybe even years.

From my blog:

The mind is a powerful tool. When you learn to focus and vividly imagine, you unlock an ability to create “real” experiences that can shape your reality. Through hypnosis, this ability is amplified, allowing you to explore limitless possibilities for growth and self-improvement.

So, take a moment today to imagine your ideal future. Close your eyes, focus deeply, and step into that imagined reality. With practice, you’ll find that the life you envision is closer than you ever thought possible.

In this episode we get into why hypnosis is, what it isn't, what some of the common misconceptions are, why those misconceptions exist, and how we as hypnotists can combat them!

Daily thought to ponder: What limiting belief will you release today in order to become your most fulfilled and successful self?

“Growth in the Struggle” - This week on Like a Hypnotist, I’m getting real about the hard side of growth. It’s easy to think that real change comes only with positivity, but sometimes growth requires us to lean into those uncomfortable, tough moments. This week has been one of those times, where holding on to my faith in God has been both a lifeline and a challenge. I know He has a plan, but facing these struggles in the short term has tested my patience, faith, and resilience. Join me as I share what it’s like to navigate these times, and how I’m finding strength even when things don’t feel easy.

Tune in if you’ve ever felt like life’s growing pains are wearing you down—or if you need some encouragement to push through and trust that there’s purpose in the struggle.

What we aim at defines what we see.  Let's talk about how my aim has been distracted and what that has meant for me over the past 19 years.  AND we'll get into what correcting that focus and shifting my internal voice has been doing in my life.  It's been incredible.  From getting to spend intentional time with my family, to involving my wife in the business itself.  It's just genuinely been a blessing.  I normally try to have a more polished description, but I'm just leveling with you all - going off the cuff.

The journey officially begins!  At least in terms of being full-time.  How does it feel to lose your day job?  How can you reframe a negative into a positive?  Listen along and find out!
