Hey there!
There’s a lot to be said for terrific preparation, a highly productive team, a detailed plan, the precise execution of that plan, and structured strategy and tactics that lead to awesome research and then to applying that research to solving problems. But is that really how problems are usually solved? Is that how breakthroughs occur?

Hey there!
I had someone write me recently, telling me that for four years she was trying to find a coupon to get a discount on my classes. There was some site where she found one, which was fake, and she wrote me asking why it didn’t work.
All that time wasted on the price, and no opportunity to take advantage of the value. Here’s how to avoid making that same mistake.

Hey there!
Short and sweet today…I want to talk about the fear of failure. And so, let’s.
And not just the fear of failure itself, and the emotions failure can generate, but also what to think about failure instead, and the value it can provide. Hopefully, I can give you an alternative value for the failures we face in life.

When he said the park’s name, Kappell made a mistake, transposing two sounds in the name, creating, unfortunately, another word that is an all-too-familiar racial slur. “It looks gray at “Martin Luther coon…King…Jr. Park,” Kappell said.
Three days later, it was announced that Kappell had been fired.
I believe that this is absolutely uncalled for, and that he is unfairly being made to pay for a simple, and easily explained human error in live performance. And I’m sad for Jeremy, a fellow on-air talent and 20 year broadcast veteran. He deserves so much better. Here’s why:

Hey there!
I got a comment on one of my other videos from Paula Leinweber, who’s just created a VO meetup group and wanted to know how to be a great facilitator and mentor.
That made me think about coaching, and consulting, and mentoring and facilitating – what those have in common, and how they are different. Here’s a few things that might make that meetup easier for her to run:

Hey, there!
Thinking about our constant and sometimes frustrating quest for more and more success, I came across a quote from Georgia O’Keefe that might lead you to a more fruitful and satisfying quest instead: the quest for knowledge.
I share the quote with you, and a little bit about my daughter’s quest to figure out the secret behind a simple magic trick.

Hey there!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like for all your dreams to come true?
One thing is certain: the rules are going to change, and you need to be comfortable with making that work for you rather than against you.
Take a few minutes with me and let me help you get comfortable with that process.
