One of the most sobering sounds I’ve ever heard was the loud “CLANG!” as the door closed and locked firmly behind me the very first time I entered a prison.
I remember thinking, “How many people know that I’m currently in here?” As if that was going to make much of a difference.
LIVE B-I-G, my friend! B-I-G.
Inspiring people to LIVE B-I-G is my mission and I desperately want it for you.
But why? What does it mean? And how do you LIVE B-I-G anyhow? As a teenager I fell in love with entertaining audiences through acting and the art of magic. I also had Tourette Syndrome, which is a debilitating neurological disorder that manifests itself with uncontrollable body movements and vocalizations. I faced a unique set of challenges in my journey to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional entertainer.
Over the next ten years, I developed a process that helped me defy the naysayers, defeat self-doubt, and live the life that I desperately wanted to live. The result of my decade-long struggle – the powerful LIVE B-I-G system!

I like to talk a lot about doing the impossible. You might say I’m obsessed with it. From magic tricks that appear to be impossible, to overcoming barriers that seem to be - the subject just speaks to me.
In today’s blog article, I wanted to share an excerpt from my book You Can Do the Impossible, Too! where I do something that others thought might not be possible for me to accomplish.
My hope, by sharing this, is that you might see yourself in this story. And if you don’t see yourself exactly, maybe the story will speak to that part of your soul that needs to hear it - because I firmly believe that you can do the things that feel impossible in your life, too…
Good Morning. It’s Monday and there are things to do. So, let’s tackle #MotivationMonday.
Today’s main question is…
How do you stay so focused and positive all the time?
Long story short…I’m not always positive. I deal with frustration, doubt, and sadness, just like you do.
However, when I wake up in the morning, I choose to be positive. I look around at the world and choose gratitude and thankfulness to be alive.
You know, every day is a new day, and with it, brings new challenges and adventures. I choose to be thankful to see what opportunities will present themselves to me.

It’s a glorious Monday here in Nashville, TN this morning. I hope it is where you are, too.
In today’s #MotivationMonday video, I tackle two questions…
To overcome a challenge, should you ignore it or acknowledge it?
How do you keep your challenge from defining you?
As far as ignoring or acknowledging the challenge that you are dealing with…that is a very personal decision. Both answers are right.
I have ignored my Tourette Syndrome and I have also acknowledged it. And at different times in my life, both of those choices were right for me.
When I was getting established as an entertainer, I didn’t…

Happy Monday Morning! In today’s #MotivationMonday I tackle two questions submitted by viewers…
How can I keep from falling under the labels people put on me?
How can I keep a positive attitude?
Confession: I hate labels. And for the most part, I can’t stand critics either.
People who critique you and try to label you and me are trying to influence the way we see ourselves. When you accept a label as true, you are limiting yourself to whatever you believe that label means. You are allowing someone else to define you. You are handing over your power to someone else. (Just typing those words makes me sick.)
You see, I believe that you and I have almost limitless possibilities. We can live our lives creating ourselves any way we choose. The moment we accept a label, however, we become limited by what we think that label means.

I know what you’re thinking, ”Motivation Monday…on a Tuesday?”
Since we celebrated Memorial Day here in the States yesterday and pretty much no one was trying to get anything done, I thought it would be a better idea to help you kick-start your week by sharing #MotivationMonday today.
Today we explore two questions…
How do you create the burning desire to succeed every day?
Can I do this without most people noticing I have other challenges?
As far as creating the burning desire to succeed…

Hey There and Happy Monday! In today’s #MotivationMonday I take on two interesting questions…
Will facing my challenges make me stronger in the future?
Will I be able to handle things better as the challenges come along?
A few thoughts on these questions…
No matter what challenge you are dealing with, you have the opportunity to allow the challenge define you, or you can choose to define yourself. Don’t ever let the challenge define you. You are much more than the difficulties that you may deal with in this life.
Momentum is one of my favorite things. I believe the power of momentum…

Hey There! It’s Monday morning and it’s time for some #MotivationMonday!
In today’s video I share my thoughts on a question that was submitted from a friend. The inquirer asked, “How do I get motivated so I can ‘make a move’ and get started.”
As I thought about how to answer this question, I realized that when we are inspired by an idea we often get an initial burst of energy. The key to getting past the inspiration and actually turning an idea into reality comes in what you do next.
In today’s video I discuss…
Hey There! It’s #MotivationMonday time and I’m wondering what you are going to do this week that is going to be awesome. Have you thought about it?
I’m here again this Monday morning to answer another question that was submitted to me about success, motivation, and overcoming obstacles. This one goes to a very deep, honest place. Here is what the submitter wanted to know…
Will others see me as a failure if I am unable to reach my goals?
I’m honored that people feel comfortable enough with me and trust my opinion enough to ask me questions like this. I also love that the person who submitted this question is willing to face some inner fear and ask anyway.
The way I see it, there are two things to consider…
