Sunsets can be gorgeous, but so are many other passing moments in our lives that we miss out on as we fail to become present and take notice!

I used to believe that I am the only one in this whole world who must believe in myself, and I need no one else. While there may be much truth to that statement, I have found that the support of others who intensely believe in me is invaluable to me, my family, and my legacy!

Taking myself too seriously has never served me. In fact, "gamifying" the situation at hand has produced time and again with thorough enjoyment of some of the most challenging times – like boot camp!

Wetsuits do more than just keep me comfortable and warm. They allowed me to access power and without them, my surfing suffers. Where in your world are you missing out on power and production because you are missing a required tool?

Cali, my daughter, told me at the end of 2018, "People don't get what they want because they don't know what they want!" Great work young lady – perfectly said! Let me share with you the words from my wife when I started getting crystal clear on what I want and what I'm committed to...

I've spent my life trying hard to impress others, especially those I respect. This is true in surfing and has been true in all domains of my life. This has cost me weak results and left me ultimately feeling lost and alone.

I don't play around with traditionally-sized leashes anymore after what I've experienced. I've upgraded my leash and upgraded my life to take greater preventative measures and ensure I get what I want!

Do you have a story that you’re telling yourself that is just not working for you? Well I have a ton! Let me share a couple with you…

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you see no way out? We can’t find the path and you can’t figure out the mechanics, you don’t know which way is the best way and you don’t know what you’re supposed to do… All you know is one thing, you can’t give up! Then it’s time to go Tasmanian Devil style and go into a tornado of commitment!

Time and again I have looked to someone else or something else to guide me rather than connecting and trusting my own heart, giving myself permission to just be and move on my own.
