Here is a capture of the Ask Me Anything I hosted on January 3, 2022. It was an experiment of me testing myself, showing up in a different way, sharing my wisdom in whatever way it was called upon, and kicking my year off in a strong way. Topics included Blue Ocean Strategy and using “pain” in your marketing, amongst anything and everything else that came up. I was very...
I’m trying something different this week. Instead of writing “What do I need to hear most right now?” I’m writing this article for 1 person in the Frolic 100. This is for Shannon. Shannon in an email to me had shared about the challenge of being on social media while creating a coaching business. This is what i was inspired to write. There’s a business metaphor that I love called “blue ocean...
Back in 2005 I retired from being a full-time DJ and rave promoter and started a new pursuit – comedy stage hypnosis. I was driven simply from having had an experience years earlier of being one of the volunteers on stage and wondering “What the hell just happened?”.

I recently hosted a Zoom titled “I’m not a coach”, for coaches who want to create businesses as unique as they are. In preparation on the day of, I chose to cut my news diet down from an already very small daily amount.

I threw that money down the toilet. 5. I don’t have large social media following. Well, none at...
My ability to create something from nothing is what makes me valuable. It’s not about teaching you to do what I do, or do what I did, but it’s about facilitating an environment that supports you to create something new yourself. That is what I bring to the table. It isn’t about labels or simple easy steps. And I love that I don’t have to pretend to be anything I’m not. I refuse to act as if I am...
I’m going to model something right now. Take from this what is of value to you. I have a very small email list. Mostly because of the decelerated life I choose to live, I don’t participate in social media and all the usual ways people generally are reached these days. I’m co-founder and co-owner of a successful business that pays me monthly dividends and I have stepped away from daily duties. I...
