The first interview I did for my podcast was with Zetti. Although I had been interviewed hundreds of times, I had never interviewed anyone else. She made my job easy because she openly and transparently shared her life story. Hollywood couldn’t script a better story. Click on the link to listen. You will not be disappointed…
What do you say when you don’t know what to say?
Thursday evening, I received an email from a dear friend of mine. She was letting me know that her beautiful, bright 24 year old daughter had committed suicide in early July.

I will always stand up when my National Anthem is played. I do this for many reasons, and one of those reasons is to honor the blood that was spilled so someone has the privilege to kneel if they so choose. Freedom reigns…
We need friends in our lives, people who care about us and who will be truthful with us. If you want to attract solid friends into your sphere, start by being a good friend first. Watch it grow…
