This episode is an open letter. I’m blessed to speak at events and this pod throughout the year and share a semester with brilliant students as an adjunct.
Bottom line: I want my students — and our listeners — to win.
During the final class each semester, I share the lessons learned, the wins, the losses, and the real moments that built me and similarly successful friends and colleagues. This version is a deeper dive — a good listen for our amazing Whiskey Hue family as well.
The truth is, I’ve taken some “L’s” in life. But I kept moving forward — and was fortunate to win a few more times than I lost. If any part of that journey can help any of you in this ecosystem win faster, smarter, and more efficiently, then it’s my responsibility to share it.
A blueprint to dream bigger, bounce back faster, and live fully. If an idea sparks a fire in you, or a story saves you time or heartache — that’s the win.
