I've waited a long time for the right moment to bring together some of the greatest entrepreneurial minds in America. Not simply because of what they've built, but because of who they have become.

The New York Knicks are your 2026 NBA Champions. Not because they were the biggest. Not because everyone believed in them. Not because they never faced adversity.

Success is a beautiful thing. But success can also become a trap. One of the greatest mistakes successful people make is believing that what got them here will get them there.

There's something that happens when you walk into a room that was built for you.

Memorial Day weekend was amazing. I got to spend time with family, enjoy the moment, and ease into summer the right way. That's what it's all about, right?

You may have built the business. Created the career. Found love. Built a family. Accomplished goals most people only dream about. And yet…something inside you knows there is still another level.

Fear is a liar. It tells you you're not ready. It tells you to wait. It tells you that what you have to offer isn't enough.

One of the hardest things in life is standing still long enough to really look at the person in the mirror.

Here's a leadership secret most people overlook: kindness isn't weakness. It's strategy.

Most people are playing the short game. They're chasing the quick win, the instant result, the immediate payoff. And then they wonder why nothing lasts.

When you're leading from survival, everything is reactive. You're managing crises, chasing validation, trying to prove something to someone. You're stuck in patterns that were formed years ago, maybe even decades ago and you don't even realize it. You're successful on the outside, but exhausted on the inside. 

Nashville is 3 weeks away. May 2–3. And the closer we get, the more I realize what makes these rooms so powerful. It's not just the speakers. It's not just the strategy. It's the fact that everyone in the room has made a decision to stop waiting and start building. They're not chasing someone else's definition of success, they're creating their own.

I had the honor of spending the day with Kerrie Lee Brown and her incredible team at Success Magazine for a photo shoot and interview, and it reminded me of something I've been thinking about a lot lately: the people who win consistently aren't just lucky, they're intentional. They surround themselves with the right people. They invest in the right rooms. They make decisions that align with where they're going, not where they've been.

My team and I have been watching the momentum build around Nashville, and the interest has been incredible. People are reaching out, asking questions, securing their spots and I don't want you to be the one looking back in a few weeks wishing you had moved when you had the chance.

There's something powerful that happens when people decide to stop waiting and start moving. I saw it in Miami. I've seen it in every room where transformation actually takes place. And I'm already seeing it build toward what's coming next.

I'm back home from Miami, and I'm still thinking about what happened last weekend.

I'm writing to you from Miami. The Mastermind just wrapped yesterday, and I'm still here processing everything that happened this weekend. I wish I could capture it all in words, but some things you just have to experience to understand.

When was the last time you celebrated a win? Not the big one you're chasing, but the one you just had.

Let me tell you something about freedom: it's not just about where you are, it's about who you become when life tries to break you.

Real freedom is reclaimed. It's rebuilt. It's a decision you make every single day to not let your circumstances, your setbacks, or other people's opinions define who you are. Some of you are reading this right now and you've been through things that would've destroyed most people. But you're still here. You're still standing. You're still fighting for the life you deserve.

Here's what separates people who dream about success from people who build it: They make a decision to become the highest version of themselves and they intentionally place themselves in rooms with people who stretch their thinking.
