I’m often asked what are the biggest levers that’s made a difference in my career & life. If you've been following me for awhile, you'll know I almost always bring up mediation. Perhaps my second not-so-secret weapon is gratitude. I’m a huge believer that so much of ‘THE GAME’ is mental. In today's podcast, I dive a little deeper into gratitude: what is it and how you can do it. A few places you can find more... read more ›

I'm no photojournalist - but I have huge respect for those men and women who put themselves in dangerous zones, risking their lives, to show the world some of its most important (horrifying) images. I've been asked before if I'd consider taking pictures in the line of fire and my answer is simple: Hell No. I just do not have the balls. Hang me out... read more ›
