If Your Life Isn’t on One Page, It’s Too Complicated
Show notes
Most people have a business plan.
Very few have a life plan.In this video, I walk you through the one-page framework I use to design my life... from health and relationships to work and personal growth. If it doesn’t fit on one page, it’s not clear enough.

Give Me 13 Minutes And I'll Make You Suspiciously Lucky
Show notes
Luck isn’t random. It doesn’t happen sitting on your couch or waiting for the perfect moment. It happens when you put yourself in the right environments, show up consistently, and are ready when opportunity finally shows up.

BYLR Mini Doc Series | Episode 1: The Calendar Club
Show notes
The Calendar Club is in the books. This challenge was so much harder than it looks on paper. Everyday of the month you run the amount of miles that corresponds to the day of the month it is. Feb 1...1 Mile..Feb 2nd..2 miles...all the way to Feb 29th when you run 29 miles.
Uploaded 29-04-20
The challenge has NOTHING to do with skill...IT’S A GRIT PARTY....open invite and free. It’s simple...can you COMMIT to your goal NO MATTER WHAT?
I ran 435 total miles for the month of February. Thats the equivalent of running from Miami to Cuba...and then back...and then back again...and THEN AGAIN ...and THEN...running the NY Marathon and another half marathon when you’re done. During this journey I didn’t miss one practice or game. Didn’t miss one date night with my wife. I returned every call. Im bringing this up to show you that we all can FIND THE TIME if we want it badly enough.
I had impromptu running events that drew hundreds of strangers that came to support me. The Atlanta community rallied big time cheering me on. One lady even saw us running from her kitchen and ran out to join us!
I’m forever grateful for all the love.Check the box☑️

The Untold Story Behind The New York Knicks Famous Song "GO NY GO"
Show notes
In 1993 I was 22 years old, broke, sleeping on friends' couches... and I recorded a demo in my closet that ended up changing the entire trajectory of my life.
Uploaded 23-06-26
That song was "Go New York Go."
If you've ever been to a Knicks game, you've heard it. What you probably didn't know is the story behind it... the chance the Knicks took on a kid nobody knew, the van, the $4,800 it cost me to make $4,000, and how one YES set off everything that came after.
35 years later, that little closet demo still follows me around in ways I never could've imagined... I'll let you watch why.
We're all one meeting, one referral, one idea away from changing the course of our lives. This is proof of that.**Subscribe To The Channel For New Exclusive Content**

I Biked Across America (Still Can't Believe It)
Show notes
Riding my bike across America sat on my f#ck it list for 15 years.
Not because I couldn't do it. Because I kept telling myself the timing wasn't right. There is never a good time to leave your kids, your work and your life for two weeks. The time is never perfect.
Uploaded 21-08-26
So we picked a date and worked backwards. 9 of my closest friends and me, San Diego to St. Augustine, 3,000 miles, 8 states, 14 days.
We saw the country 16 miles per hour at a time. No news, no TV, no podcasts, nobody on their phones. Just the road and each other.
This is the whole thing. Every mile, every state, every campsite.
