Broken promises and shattered dreams


I've been very quiet for months.


I'm not ignoring you.


The major shifts by Google, Facebook and social media engagement has consumed me.


AI has consumed me.


So many opportunities.


So many platforms.


The AI explosion reminds me of the internet 1.0 boom.


In the late 1990s, everyone was racing to jump on the internet bandwagon.


So many opportunities.


So many ideas.


A friend left a stable job at Chevron to join a dot com startup.


Within a year, his stock options were worth $75 million...


...on paper.


He took out a second mortgage on his house and invested everything into more stock options.


A few months later, his company went bust.


He lost everything.


His job.


His house.


His car.


And his marriage.


Eventually, the AI industry will consolidate.


The cream will rise to the top.


The weak will disappear in a slew of broken promises and shattered dreams.


In 2024, I invested heavily into learning AI.


I invested in two masterminds and numerous coaching programs to stay ahead of the curve.


Most of what I learned last January is obsolete.


AI tools are evolving faster than any technology I've seen in my 30+ year career.


Google, Facebook, Instagram and online marketing are undergoing massive shifts.


Where should we invest our time and money in 2025?


You don’t have time to sift through countless platforms and tools.


You can’t afford to fall behind in your career or business.

Grilled food and beer await a meal.

I spent this weekend watching The Bear season four, and it reminded me of something my grandfather would never have imagined when he arrived from Greece in the 1920s. Picture this: A young Greek immigrant with nothing but determination, deciding to open a restaurant in America. Did he know anything about running one? Not a clue. But what else would a Greek do? What made our family restaurant different wasn't just the food. It was the philosophy. Every morning we baked fresh bread, made pies...

I’ve done a lot of personal and professional growth work over the years. I was a massive consumer of personal development programs from Nightingale Conant. At one point, my wife Ellen asked me "Aren't you fixed yet?" Nothing from Nightingale Conant has rewired me like Zenith Mind OS. Before this, I was still running on patterns that held me back: overpreparing, overthinking, playing small. Now? I’m aware when those habits show up and I have the tools to move through them. I’m more aligned....

As I continue through Rich Schefren’s Zenith Mind OS, I realize this hasn’t just been a course. It’s been a complete rewiring of how I think, work, and live. This journey didn’t end when the modules did. The biggest breakthroughs came after the course. Now I see the old habits when they try to sneak back in: The urge to over-prepare instead of speaking The subtle ways I play small to stay safe The patterns that once protected me but now hold me back And for the first time, I’m not beating...
