When Preparation Meets Execution (the Wave Arrives)
Dearly Beloved… this episode is a story about the moment when the wave finally arrives — after years of preparation, devotion, heartbreak, hard work, and refusing to give up on the vision.
I just returned from Austin, Texas, where I spent a week inside an Impact Accelerator with 120 powerhouse entrepreneurs, investors, advisors, and super-connectors. I went down there to pitch Majik Kids — our mission to end the screen zombie epidemic and raise empowered creators through screen-free, imagination-powered media.
I had a five-minute pitch in front of the room.
And the amount of preparation that went into those five minutes… was wild.
21 script rewrites
20+ slide deck rebuilds
30+ hours of practice
Complete memorization & embodiment
A devastating piece of feedback two days before the pitch
A full ego death & complete rewrite
And finally… the moment
When I stepped onto the stage — and delivered the most grounded, playful, powerful version of myself — I got a standing ovation and walked away with 50+ meaningful follow-up conversations with investors, collaborators, and allies.
This story is a teaching moment for anyone on the path of creation:
Preparation matters.
How you show up in your moment matters.
Your craft is the key.
Your presence is the portal.
There is a point in every journey where the resistance shows up:
The scream moment.
The “I don’t have time” moment.
The “maybe I’m not cut out for this” moment.
That is not the sign to stop.
That is the sign to KEEP IT UP.
If you're in the grind phase…
If you’re mid-build…
If you’re rewriting your story…
If you're preparing for your moment…
This episode is your reminder:
Your wave is coming.
And when preparation meets execution — the world pays attention.
