Every day, I am so grateful that I chose the right life partner. She’s been with me through the good times and the bad times, she’s given me two amazing kids, and she is my rock. Power couples are strong at home and outside, and it is amazing to share a life with someone you know you can always trust and rely on. 🌹💑

Together, we've faced life's challenges head-on, always emerging stronger and more united. Our story isn't just about us; it's about building a legacy that inspires and uplifts future generations. 🌍✨

When two hearts align with a shared purpose and vision, they can achieve greatness that resonates far beyond their own lives. Let our journey be a reminder that true connection and partnership are the foundations of a powerful and enduring legacy. 💖

🌟 Not Sure Who Needs to Hear This, But… 🌟

One of the things I want to teach my son is that In today's world, with all the vitriol in politics, it’s crucial to remember that no matter which side of the aisle you’re on, we can still be kind to each other. 🤝✨ Disagreement doesn’t have to mean disrespect. [Agree to Disagree] is one of the most intelligent and compassionate things a human can do. Let's embrace [Civility], [Respect], and [Kindness] in our discussions. 💬❤️

We all have different perspectives, but our humanity should unite us more than our opinions divide us. Let's practice [Empathy] and [Understanding], and show that it’s possible to have healthy debates without losing our [Compassion]. 🌍💡

🌟 This Summer is Officially Brat Summer! 🌟

If you're into marketing, you need to know about the 'BRAT' wall that's popping up in cities worldwide. This simple green wall has been a marketing sensation. 🎨✨ Since the album’s June release, Charli XCX's Brat has generated an incredible $22.5 million in media impact value (MIV), according to Launchmetrics. MIV measures the buzz around posts, article mentions, and social media interactions, and Brat is making waves! 💥

Searches for Brat-style “slime green” items have surged by 17% in the past two weeks, thanks to Lyst. 🛍️💚 Just like Bottega Veneta’s Kelly green, Valentino’s PP pink, and Gucci’s Ancora red, Charli XCX owns this vibrant hue. Vogue’s Daniel Rodgers predicts this color will dominate the catwalks this September, much like Barbie pink did last year. 👗🌈

This isn't just about a color—it’s about the power of [Branding], [Fashion Trends], and [Music Marketing]. The Brat aesthetic is reshaping fashion and culture. Charli XCX's innovative music and the striking Brat visual identity have created a cultural moment we'll remember for years. 🎶👠

Curious about BRAT? Dive into the trend and see what the buzz is all about! 🌍💚

Alright, dear speakers, coaches & entrepreneurs... listen up! It's time for a reality check. I've noticed far too many "experts" kicking off their posts with, "Today I had the honor to do this" or "I had the Honor to speak at this stage."

Let me tell you, that preamble screams AMATEUR. It's like you stumbled into your achievements by accident, not intention.

You're not owning the moment! And guess what? It's hurting your brand. So, stop it!

Seriously, do yourself a favor and cut out the "Had the Honor" nonsense. It's cringe-worthy and it's dragging down your brand. Let's elevate our game, shall we? 🚀

One thing I'm super passionate about is showing how trust and credibility shape branding. Today, "The Fantastic Four" Andrea Gomez, Dave Crane, Christian Farioli and Yours trully totally wowed a big crowd on the Los Angeles Tribune leadership Week, highlighting how branding boosts visibility, trust, and credibility. Shoutout to Ava V Manuel and Dawna Renae Campbell and the Los Angeles Tribune for hosting such an awesome event! 🚀

Wishing all my Muslim friends a heartfelt Eid Mubarak. May this special day bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to all. Let's cherish the moments of togetherness and the bonds that connect us, today and always.

Just a year ago, being on TV 33 times would've been a daydream—but here we are! We all have stories that resonate with audiences, and reporters are on the lookout for such tales. The game-changer for me? Andrea Gomez instilled in me the belief that 'I am newsworthy.' It’s not about promoting my business; it's about sharing my wisdom. That mindset shift is your ticket to the spotlight. And yes, it’s truly possible for anyone to be constantly featured on the news. Ready to share your story?

Under the bright lights of the ballpark, it's not just the thrill of the game that brings us here, but the joy of sharing these moments side by side. This wonderful woman beside me has been my teammate through life's ups and downs, just as we've cheered our team from the stands. Whether it's the crack of the bat or the silent moments we share, each one is a reminder that life's best memories are those we make together. Here's to the game days, the everyday, and everything in between.

ATTENTION Speakers and Presenters: It's 2024 already. Your PowerPoint Presentation needs to be 95% Images and video 5% text. Let visuals tell your story, and leave those bullet points in the past where they belong. Like if you agree!

Here's the brutal truth: 90% of 'experts' are onstage disasters—knowledgeable, sure, but as charming as a damp sponge, with egos too big to see their own mediocrity. Great speaking transforms knowledge into unforgettable experiences. Yet, the speaking world, drowning in its own arrogance, mistakes mediocrity for excellence.

In some corners of the globe, time must've tripped and fallen flat on its face, because you'll find spots so anachronistic, they make you wonder if time travel's a thing. It's like walking into your grandma's living room, but instead of a house, it's a whole town living in a 'throwback Thursday'

Sharing the stage with the incomparable Valerie Vigoda—a world-renowned violinist, keynote speaker, and Broadway scriptwriter—was the crescendo of my Vegas Speaking experience! Val, the creative force behind the Broadway play 'Ernest Shackleton Loves Me,' has given me a new connection to the name Ernest. Funny to share a name with her famous Ernest—now there are two of us in awe of her! Val, you’re truly amazing!
