Shut Up, Suit Up, Show Up

I heard a phrase recently that stopped me in my tracks. Three simple words from a gentleman who reminded me what real work, real joy, and real purpose actually look like. I won’t break it down here — you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out what that is! 

What I will say is this: joy doesn’t come from sitting back or waiting for life to hand you something. Joy comes from working. From bringing your gifts, your energy, and your whole heart into what you do. When you show up fully, you’re serving others — and that’s why we’re here. That’s the work.

This episode is about responsibility, preparation, humility, and purpose. It’s about doing the job in front of you with excellence, not ego. No whining. No waiting. No showing off. Just showing up — fully — and serving the people around you.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or distracted, this one might be exactly what you need. 

I’ve been holding this one close. There’s something I lean on every single day — in the good, the hard, the messy, the incredible. It’s the thing that steadies me, fuels me, and reminds me who I am! 

But I will say this: everything that’s ever happened in my life — every win, every lesson, every detour — helped shape me. I give thanks for all of it. It’s part of my journey, part of my becoming.

One of my favorite habits? Starting and ending every day with the song Count Your Blessings.. It shifts me. It puts me exactly where I need to be. And before I talk to anyone, I bless them, I pray over them, I send them love — because that’s how I move through this world.

Because the world needs you. I’m grateful for everything — and I want you to be too! 

It started with two words… and now I’m giving you THREE. 

JOY. LAUGHTER. LOVE.  
That’s the intention. That’s the vibe. That’s the whole assignment.

I was sitting in church and the message hit me right between the eyes:  Our days should be spent in joy and in laughter.  
So, naturally… I added LOVE. 

Set your intention for the day.  
Be the vibe you want in the room.  
Because your greatest predictor of success?  Your level of OPTIMISM.

Your personality creates your personal reality.  So choose one filled with joy, laughter, and love.  

I’m diving into Brad Jacobs’ book How to Make a Few Billion Dollars and wow… it’s rocking my world.

Here’s the gold: The 3 P’s—Peaceful, Polite, and Pleasant. Three simple words that, when you actually live them, will transform everything. Your outlook, your relationships, your culture, your work, your LIFE.

You know me—I’m obsessed with growth, with building the best culture, with surrounding myself with the best people. And these 3 P’s remind us that success isn’t a destination, it’s about staying positive, continuously learning, and showing up in a way that lifts everyone around you.

This one is packed with energy, wisdom, and real-life application. Buckle up—you’re going to love it. 

In this episode, we’re serving up leadership wisdom fresh and fast—Jimmy John’s style. The founder of Jimmy John’s shares his best-kept secret: management must manage. Whether it’s your family, career, or community, leadership isn’t optional—it’s essential.

We’re talking about:
- Following up and auditing yourself
- Embracing discomfort to grow
- Why success always leaves tracks
- And the truth that leadership will always be a little bumpy

Remember:

1. Managers must manage 
2. Managers must manage
3. Managers must manage

If you’re ready to lead, tweak, and track your way to success—this one’s for you. 

In this episode, we’re diving into better thinking, because this is the way.

I’m bringing you two powerful quotes that changed my perspective:

Dr. Joe Dispenza: “Your personality creates your personal reality.”
That means you decide who you are. Your personality isn’t fixed—it’s built by your choices, your habits, your actions. Audit it. Work on it. Shape it into something big, loving, giving, inspirational, helpful, and smart.

James DiNicolantonio: “Your life is your responsibility. Full stop. Your choices, your habits, your actions. Blame is a thief—it steals your power. Ownership is the cheat code.”
Stop waiting for someone to tell you what to do or fix your life for you. Take accountability. That’s the only way forward.

This episode is about rewiring how you think and how you show up. If you’re ready to take ownership and start building the reality you want—this one’s for you. 

I’m spilling the real secret sauce: never stop courting. If you are wanting lasting love, success, and fulfillment? You need to show up as your best—every single day. 

Conger and I just celebrated 31 years of marriage (34 years together), and I’ve lived this message right alongside him. You work hard to get something amazing in your life—whether it’s a partner, a career, or a dream—and the work doesn’t stop once you have it. You cherish it. You nurture it. You never stop counting, never stop putting in the effort, never stop showing up.

In this episode, I’m sharing my perspective on how to keep the excitement alive, avoid drifting away, and honor what you’ve worked so hard for. This isn’t just about marriage—it’s about how you approach everything you value.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build something worth keeping, this one’s for you. 

Birds of a feather flock together—and that’s exactly why you need to pay attention to who’s in your circle. 

The people you surround yourself with have the biggest influence on your energy, your outlook, and your future. If you’re constantly around negative people, it’s only a matter of time before their mindset rubs off on you. But if you’re intentional about choosing happy, positive, productive humans—you’ll rise higher, faster. 

In this episode, I’m diving into the power of your circle, why auditing your relationships matters, and how to align yourself with people who make you better. Because at the end of the day, the company you keep is shaping who you become! 

You are the solution! 

Your happiness? That’s on you.
The energy you bring? That’s on you.
How you show up every single day? That’s on you.
Paying for your life, doing the work, making progress on what matters—yep, all on you.

Nobody owes you a thing. Let me say that again: nobody owes you anything. But you? You owe yourself everything. You owe yourself the hustle, the discipline, the joy, the fight. You owe yourself the life you dream about when your head hits the pillow at night.

If there’s something you haven’t achieved yet—something you want so badly you can taste it—it’s yours for the taking. But here’s the truth: you are the only one who can go out and get it. No more waiting for permission. No more blaming the world. No more complaining about what’s not happening.

This is about showing up, doing the work, and surrounding yourself with people who make you better—not bitter. The kind of people who push you, challenge you, and believe in you as much as you should believe in yourself.

It’s time to take full responsibility, ignite your energy, and go after the life you want with everything you’ve got. Because the solution? It’s been you all along.

How you end your day is how you begin your next—are you doing it right? 

I’m sharing my 3-step nightly power-down that helps me rest easy, clear the junk, and wake up fired up and aligned! 
It’s simple. It’s powerful. It’s a total game-changer:

1. Gratitude – No matter what your day looked like, find something—big or small—to be thankful for. There’s always good. 

2. Release – Let. It. Go. The stress, the worry, the chaos—don’t carry it into tomorrow. 

3. Intention – Speak life over your future. Want peace? Say it. Want clarity? Declare it. Want abundance? Claim it.

I’ll walk you through exactly what I say before my head hits the pillow, every single night. This is your permission slip to reset, recharge, and rest like the rockstar you are.

Let’s build a life that feels just as good at night as it does in the morning!
