I could take all kinds of time and energy to say it in my own words, or I could just say, "What he said" -- "If you are breathing, you are still alive. If you are alive, then you are still here, physically, on this planet. If you are still here, then you have not…
What Will They Say When You Go?
It's one of those things you can't keep from happening; people talking about you when your number is called. An important thing to remember, though, is the fact that you have an awful lot of control NOW over what they will say THEN. Hopefully, my father is pleased with what I had to say about…
A Note to Know-It-Alls
If you know it all, why are you listening? If you know it all, why are you watching? If you know it all, why are you reading? If you know it all, why aren't you speaking? If you know it all, share. Those words came to me as I read feedback from a recent talk…
WRAL “Good Things” Interview with Bill Leslie
Really pleased with how this interview and piece turned out. Seeing as I'm pushing it when I say I'm 5'7" tall, the fact that what aired is very short is fitting. Enjoy!

Todd Duncan interview with Scott Wittig
To some degree, this was a bit like Babe Ruth pointing to the fence....and then actually hitting the ball into the stands. I mentioned Todd Duncan in Holy It! a couple of times. He has been an influencer in my life and someone I have respected from afar. I mentioned in Holy It! that I…
Not Waiting
Guest post I wrote for Jeff Marsocci at www.livingtrustlawfirm.com: “You make believe that everything is ok until you’re cryin’. You make believe that life is too long until you’re dyin’.” I used that quote from Limp Bizkit in my book, ‘Holy It! A Guide to Doing Your Thing – Your ‘It’. The book is all…
