🚨 Real Talk 🚨

Have you ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels, working SO hard… and yet, the money just isn’t flowing the way you want?

Well, last week, I heard something that punched me RIGHT in the gut. Cat Merritt said:

“You’re making exactly the amount of money you believe you should be making. If you want to make more, change your beliefs.”

Let that sink in. 🤯

Not a lack of talent, skill, or hustle. Not even luck. BELIEF.

So, here’s the challenge: What if we’re all unconsciously capping ourselves, letting our own beliefs hold us back from the money, success, and freedom we truly deserve?

I know I’m ready to confront those beliefs head-on because BIG things are on the horizon. Next year, I’m planning a major move, and it’s forcing me to reevaluate everything I thought I knew about income potential and security.

Are you ready to take this journey with me? Send me a message if this resonates. Let’s grow together and see where we can go when we finally let ourselves believe we deserve it. ✨

Book I’m Currently Reading 🕮

“Signs of Stage Five. Your tribes hardly ever refer to the competition, except to note how remarkable their own culture is by comparison, and how far their results outstrip industry norms. The theme of communication is limitless potential, bounded only by imagination and group commitment. People in this culture can find a way to work with almost anyone, provided their commitment to values is at the same intensity as their own. (Unlike Stage Four, the focus isn’t on “our values” but on resonant values.) There is almost no fear, stress, or workplace conflict. People talk as though the world is watching them, which may well be the case, as their results are making history. Your job is to make sure the infrastructure to maintain these leaps to Stage Five is in place. Go to Chapter 9 and read to the end of the book.”

Every Dinner With Friends has been something special. But next year? We’re raising the bar, and these dinners will be our best yet.

If you’re ready to dive deep, swap stories, and maybe even find answers to those big questions you've been carrying, I’d love for you to join us at the table. Stay tuned for more details. 🥂

Community Spotlight ✨

As an educator, there’s nothing better than seeing someone take what you teach, run with it, and find success—that’s exactly what Ryan Martin did. I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow professionally in one of the masterminds I co-facilitate over the past year and a half. He’s taken insights on creating engaging, effective content to heart, and we’ve watched his LinkedIn presence reach new heights. It’s been such a joy to watch it all happen.

Ryan has also joined several of my Dinner with Friends gatherings, and his support and enthusiasm are really flattering. He’s a fantastic person to be around—always excited and fun. After the last dinner, he told me, “Anytime you’re hosting one of these, I’m in.” That’s the kind of dedication and warmth he brings to everything he does.

Professionally, Ryan and his partner, Colin, are revolutionizing how physical therapists and medical professionals use ultrasound to treat patients. Their organization, Modern Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, is absolutely phenomenal. I know firsthand—they actually did an ultrasound on my shoulder right on stage! Being the “guinea pig” was incredible, especially seeing the other doctors in the audience so impressed by their expertise and unparalleled skills.
