I read one that was a romance…(you’re welcome babe) I’ve read self help books. I’ve read spiritual discipline books. I’ve read a book filled with Etty Hillesum’s WWII diary entries that changed the way I look at humanity as a whole… I’ve read so much AND TODAY I SHARE THEM WITH YOU!

I thought I was going to be off social media for 3 weeks... Then it turned into 4 weeks... Now it's past 5 weeks... Why am I taking so long to come back? What am I learning? Will I come back? Today is a very, and I mean very, Carlosish episode of rabbit trails and deep thoughts that lead to shallow thoughts that trail back to ridiculous thoughts that I hope you will find somewhat insightful and helpful as you navigate a world that demands we share everything about everything... Maybe, just maybe we can do it better... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I’m so glad I stopped by the piano bar in the Atlanta airport that day and saw your infectious grin. I was exhausted from 3 days of airplanes and hotels and you looked happier than humanly possible. Nobody was paying attention and they had no idea they were missing the concert of their lifetime. All I wanted to do was let you see me…see you… But as fate would have it that 30-minute conversation would change more than my life… but the lives of so many others… You were and will always be the Instafamilia Godfather… The media thought we changed your life… Little did they know it was the other way around… As I told you on the phone this morning as I said goodbye... Enjoy playing hymns for The Almighty @toneepianoman … We will miss you ferociously and wait in anticipation of seeing you again on the other side of the veil… Learn more about your ad choices.

This one is LIFE CHANGING YA'LL!!! No hype. Everything can change if you put what Tim teaches us into action. I've watched Tim work alongside my friend Don Miller for the last decade. I've watched him be the #2 at that company. And I've watched him redefine what it means to be successful... To be successful, we think we have to step into the spotlight or climb the ladder.  "The Secret Society of Success" introduces a new way to define success that’s counter to what culture is selling. And when you learn to live in this new way, you’ll start to enjoy your work and life again.
