"Can't Hurt Me"

DAVID GOGGINS

Talk about a powerhouse. I don't know that I will ever employ my mind the way David does, but I do know I'm using it a whole lot more because of his message.

"The Last Black Unicorn"

TIFFANY HADDISH

Tiffany is one of my favorite comedians and its not just because she's hilarious. It's because she's real and her ability to create a winning mindset given her early years - she's my hero. Bonus - she impacts yours while she has you laughing.

"How We Experience Awe - And Why It Matters"

BEAU LOTTO

This man changed my life when I heard him talk about perception. He agreed to be on my podcast when I talked to him about "awe" - not realizing he was in the midst of its study. 

"Make Your Bed"

WILLIAM H. McRAVEN

I first heard William's commencement speech while I was in college. It taught me to have systems in place to support me and my goals. Systems as simple as making your bed. I rarely miss making my bed these days - thank you William.

Powerful-U Conference

JAMES & STEPHANIE PURPURA

This couple changed my life in ways I will forever be grateful for. Their own transformation - evolution is beyond inspiring. They're the world's first personal evolution company and I confess - I have definitely evolved since I saw them in 2018.

"Five Second Rule"

MEL ROBBINS

I owe running for the Society of Professional Journalism's Director at-Large in 2017, applying for a fellowship at Stanford (though not qualifications) and talking to strangers to Mel. All of which have changed and improved upon my life.
