One of my traditions in the new year is to read a quote often attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Based on my research, this actually may be an adaptation from a screenplay or movie -- but whatever the case and for me --the words and message are more important than the context of the person (who may have written it):“For what it’s worth … it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”Want to get a short note from me each week with what I've learned from interviewing some of the smartest people in the world -- the best inspiration, eduction, access to events, perks, finds, free stuff and more to help you improve your life and business!Goto: https://www.behindthebrand.tv/vipSupport the show

"If I follow the trail of your stress, it will take me to your deepest fears…"I have a confession — prior to meeting Tony Robbins, I was not the biggest Tony Robbins fan. I’m not the kind of person who would attend one of his events…jump up and down or tolerate him shouting at me during a 10-hour seminar. But then he taught me, "Life is the dance between what we desire and fear most." Tony who is larger than life actually made a huge impact on how I think about myself and the world. I still don't have any interest in his seminars but I did learn something valuable and believe you will too.This is a Behind the Brand snapshot…a moment in time from a full-length episode that I thought is worth a your attention and focus.

"The Work Reveals Itself as You Go..."I just finished Rick Rubin’s new book called The Creative Act. It’s a book on his process and his methods. If you don’t know Rick Rubin, he’s one of the most prolific music producers on the planet — taking the good work and making it better for talent like The Beastie Boys, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Weezer, Linkin Park, Neil Diamond, Metallica, Shakira, — almost the entire A-list music industry including Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons. Dan reveals his music making process as well as gets really vulnerable about why his music is so personal.
