In an interconnected world, leaders need firsthand understanding of diverse cultures. Sending students abroad fosters empathy, collaboration, and innovative thinking.
They become ambassadors of goodwill, returning with skills to address local challenges through a global lens—an essential step toward a more united future.
Growing up, my late mother instilled in me a profound love for travel and an appreciation for experiencing different cultures. While our family didn’t have the means to embark on physical journeys abroad, my mother found creative ways to introduce us to the wonders of the world. She cooked food from various corners of the globe, we watched captivating travel shows, and she emphasized the importance of learning another language.
If you’re reading this, it’s not by accident. I don’t believe in coincidence.
In Million Dollar Flip Flops, I share insights from 2 decades of in the trenches trial and error building multiple 7 figure businesses while at the same time leading a life worth living.
A lifelong entrepreneur, at 25 I was making more in a month than my parents had made in a year. I could buy and do anything I wanted.
Yet… I was depressed, at times had suicidal thoughts, and awoke every morning with a sinking “is this all there is” feeling.
Digging myself out of that hole, I developed systems and strategies that allowed me to live a life I couldn’t have imagined.
These three simple tools have been the filter through which I have run every decision in my life – business or otherwise….and the results have been extraordinary.
Leveraging wit, humor, and real life examples (including all of the failures!) I’ll introduce you to The WAVES Method™ and together we will build a roadmap that will develop priceless tools you can use for a lifetime.
4 decades on I have zero regrets and have done nearly everything I’ve wanted to.
48 countries and counting, the SuperBowl, the World Series, every MLB park, the list goes on…
I’ve had drinks with Taylor Hawkins in Mexico City and bagels with Drew Brees in San Francisco.
I’ve hiked the Juncal Glacier in Chile, volcanoes in Ecuador and went on safari in Zimbabwe.
It’s been years since I’ve set an alarm, had notifications dinging on my phone, or have had to wear “real shoes”.
That’s my definition of success and a life well lived. Yours is likely very different. Whatever your definition is… we all have areas of our lives that require massive change if we truly desire to reach the next level.
I followed in the footsteps of incredibly smart people in every area I wanted to master.
Hundreds of books read, seminars attended, courses taken, and mentors leaned on. I’ve spent untold time and money learning what worked for these masters – and combining this collective wisdom, developed The WAVES Method™.
Using The WAVES Method™, our goal is to align who you are and who you want to be as a person and only then design a life that allows you to thrive.
Where those two things meet is what we like to call – The Happiness Intersection
While my private coaching work is primarily with entrepreneurs across the globe, these principles can help anyone willing to invest in themselves.
You just have to be one of the few who do versus the many who talk.
I grew up in a small Michigan town in a little brick ranch on a busy road. My parents lived in that same house until two years ago when my Mom, my best friend, passed away unexpectedly before her 70th birthday. Nothing about my upbringing would have led you to believe I would go on to learn from some of the best mentors in the world.
I don’t share any of this to impress you. I share only to impress upon you that regular people can do extraordinary things. Regular people change the world!
