Is the #NoMatterWhat Keynote Experience Right for your Company?
Just like #NoMatterWhat isn’t for everyone, the #NoMatterWhat Keynote Experience is not for every company. I’ve been getting a few questions lately from people asking how we’d know if it was a fit to work together. And naturally, I have some easy early questions to make sure we’d fully align to drive maximum impact and value, together…
On Pain (and Love)
Pain is unpleasant, unavoidable and often unwelcome – and it’s also the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. If approached with openness, love (I know, it’s Valentine’s Day week) and gratitude, pain is the vehicle through which we expand ourselves. Reach a greater potential. And truly grow as human beings (remember, businesses only grow as much as their leaders are willing to grow).
The Keys to Kellogg’s #NoMatterWhat Culture During a Time of Change
They’re great! Isn’t just what Tony the Tiger says about Kellogg Company’s Frosted Flakes. It’s how I would describe the #NoMatterWhat culture Kellogg has developed, especially among its retail sales team during a time of some pretty major change…
Your Life Mission (Should You Have the Courage to Accept it)
What’s most important to you? It’s that essence that I think is our duty to align our lives to. Aligning to that life mission #NoMatterWhat, will yield a fulfilling, meaningful and purposeful life. The gap between what’s most important to you and how aligned you are with it will determine both your results and your regrets.
The 4 Kinds of Support you Need to Grow (#NoMatterWhat)
Growth isn’t magic. Whether we’re talking about personal growth, professional growth, company growth or anything else, it happens with the support of others. And there are four key roles you need filled in order to grow.
Start 2023 saying: I WILL…
Many New Years start with wishes, wants and hopes that somehow quickly fade as the year marches on. Challenges and circumstances seem to corrupt the best intentions leaving those goals slowly dissolving into the world of impossibility. And in what feels like the blink of an eye, another year has passed and some of the results we want most are left unfulfilled. Let’s not do that (again). This is our year. And to make it our year demands we step out of the world of wishing, wanting and hoping into a world of I WILL.
Don’t just make a resolution. Create a #NoMatterWhat.
Are you ready to start 2023 off strong with new health goals, relationship goals, team goals, wealth goals, growth goals… This year, don’t make a resolution. Create a #NoMatterWhat. Lean into the commitment, the community and the system that’s specially designed and proven to drive your results regardless of the circumstances.
Your 2022 #NoMatterWhat Impact
Impact isn’t easy, even during the best of times. And 2022 has been a rollercoaster at best for many. Inflation, looming depression, staffing and supply chain shortages, global instability – even a universal instability driven by rapid and relentless change is front and center for many of us. And yet…

It’s Not Just Saying You’re Grateful
How’s this for a blog title this time of year? This is the time of year when many people, in the US at least, will talk about gratitude and how grateful they are. I know, mind-blown already. But that’s really only less than half of the equation. There’s something else...
The Three Discomfort Defaults in Your Way
Discomfort is in your way. It’s not money, time, your job, your company, your team, your personality, your culture, the market, inflation, or the world that’s in the way of the results you want. What determines your results is one thing only: how you deal with discomfort.
Want Results? Look for the Opposite.
To get the results you want, find the opposite… That’s right, to achieve what you want, you have to seek out, hunt down and embrace the opposite. And my money is on that it might be at least a little uncomfortable. True in your business and in your life. Let me show you what I mean.
Stop Snoozing Your Results
Most people ultimately know what there is to do to get the results they want. At least when they stop to think about it. Here’s the problem, it’s just all too natural for many of us to avoid the discomfort of actually doing it. Including me, and I wrote the book on it! I don't know about you but…
Lessons from the Amazon Jungle: Part 3
The Amazon has an estimated 50,000 species of plants and 3,000,000 species of animals, amongst which I found myself for two weeks. I was off the grid with an indigenous group in Peru called the Shipibo. I was there doing some “field work” — a fancy way of saying putting myself though some of these experiences and teachings they have to see what’s there…
Lessons from the Amazon Jungle: Part 2
Two weeks in the Amazon jungle gifted me many lessons. There’s something about the austerity of only having the basics you need for survival (literally survival) that grinds everything inside of you down to only the essentials. I spent 14 days off the grid in the jungle with an indigenous group there called the Shipibo — more details about exactly what I was doing can be read in my…
Lessons from the Amazon Jungle: Part 1
I thought I was going to the Amazon jungle to see what lessons I could pull out of it. After calling a small tambo (jungle hut) home for the last few weeks in Eastern Peru, it’s really more what lessons the jungle pulled out of me.
Off the grid with little running water, no power, no talking, one or no meals a day with no salt or seasoning and dry fasting (no water) for certain periods has a way of twisting your mind…
Discomfort May Lead To Your Next Breakthrough
The disclaimer on investments is that “past performance is not an indicator of future results.” In other words, don’t get too comfortable with the past. All you have to do is look at the stock performance through last year (2021) compared to this year’s performance to know this is true.
Pause. The triple reset.
Pause. A moment in time to slow down, reflect, recalibrate, even reset back to what really matters. Really matters to your clients, your business, your community, your family and yourself. When was the last time you took a real pause? Stepped away from the constant traffic of the day to day to go deeper for a minute, a day, a week or longer?
