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 More…
I’ve done a lot of personal and professional growth work over the years. I was a massive consumer of persona 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 More…
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 More…
Quick reminder: today’s Mastermind Book Club call is on! We’re diving into The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Getting Your Sh*t Together by John Carlton. No sugar-coating. No motivational fluff.

One of the things we noticed in Greece was that people were not addicted to their phones. When you met someone, they were genuinely interested in getting to know you. They were friendly. They were excited to meet you. They were curious. They engaged in real conversation with us even though English is not their native language. Their head wasn’t buried More…
Ellen and I just got back from two weeks in Greece, where we consumed our fair share of gyros, baklava, and ouzo. I have to admit I thought I was going to Greece for the views… But I ended up getting a history lesson, a family reckoning, and a quiet reset all in one. What surprised me most? I More…
As I wrap up Rich Schefren’s Zenith Mind OS course, I’ve been reflecting on one of the biggest shifts I’ve ever made, not just in my business, but in how I show up in life. For most of my career, I was operating from a hidden belief: “I’ll stay safe if I don’t take up too much More…
We thought it would be just another book club meeting. It turned out to be one of those events we will remember forever. Last month, I was cleaning my office and picked up The Boron Letters book by Gary Halbert. This is a collection of letters Gary wrote to his son, Bond, while he was in prison. I sent More…
