The Envision Festival in Costa Rica
I've got a special place in my heart for gypsies, Burners, and new age hippies. They love like no one else can. They dance from the spasms of the spirit. They are the artists that can push the boundaries of what the human culture creates. And they came to my country, 45 minutes from my house. No dusty pilgrimage to Black Rock city for me; some buses and some hitchhiking, with my old hippie clothes and muddy feet, and I [...]
Making Things Manifest
"We Become What We Think About." - Earl Nightingale Maybe you've noticed this, too: people who keep having problems over and over again, they really like to talk about them. Those who live life of ease - they don't. Gossip and complaining is not how they comment on the world.

Apostrophe and Backslash error in WordPress – it’s Magic Quotes
On a high quality self-marketing blog that I manage, when someone would add a comment that included an apostrophe, the apostrophe would populate on the page with a backslash behind it. From ' to /' every time. I could manually edit these in the Wordpress backend, or even use a search and replace plugin on the comment fields in the WP database, but come on, this is wordpress. I want a plugin or an easy piece of code that can [...]
The Sales Success Webinar Series – Live on Udemy
For the past few months, I've been really happy to bring my video editing services to the Sales Success Webinar Series. This library of professional development material was created by Jeffrey Gitomer and Andy Horner over the past few years. They've become masters of the art of the Webinar, with topics that range from closing more sales, to business social media, to delivering amazing presentations. These webinars have been used by thousands of salespeople and self-marketers to improve their skills and [...]
