A MESSAGE FROM TIM
Family,
Let me tell you something about your career, your purpose, and your future: it's never too late to rebuild, reinvent, and rise again. 2026 isn't just another year, it's your year to stop playing small and start building the life you've been dreaming about.
I want to share a story with you that's going to shift your perspective. Imagine this: you leave your corporate job to chase your dream with a trusted business partner. Your company gets valued at $5 million. Silicon Valley investors are backing you. Then, less than 24 hours after saying goodbye to your old life, your co-founder steals everything and kicks you out. No job. No money. No business. No purpose.
Most people would quit. Ilana Golan rebuilt. And not just rebuilt, she built something even better. Today, her company, Leap Academy, has influenced over $100 million in revenue and helps high performers around the world create careers and lives they actually love. She's living proof that your setback is just the setup for your comeback.
And speaking of building the life you want, let me ask you something: when was the last time you invested in your own breakthrough? The Miami Mastermind is March 6–8, and we're less than four weeks away. This isn't just another event where you sit, take notes, and go home the same person. This is where transformation happens. This is where you'll meet leaders who are building empires, creating impact, and leading with love. The energy in this room is going to be electric, the connections you make will be life-changing, and the clarity you'll walk away with will shift everything.
Miami, Florida
March 6–8
If you've been waiting for a sign to invest in yourself, this is it. If you've been wondering when the right time is, it's now. Let's make 2026 the year you stopped waiting and started winning.

🎙️ Episode 26: Ilana Golan: How to Build a Career and Life You Love in 2026
What do you do when everything falls apart? When the partner you trusted betrays you, when the business you built disappears overnight, when the future you planned vanishes in 24 hours? You have two choices: stay stuck or start moving.
Ilana chose to move. And in this episode, she's going to show you exactly how to do the same whether you're navigating a career pivot, recovering from a setback, or ready to build something bigger than you've ever imagined.
We break down the mindset shifts that turn obstacles into opportunities, the strategies for building a career that's flexible and future-proof, and why 2026 is the perfect time to stop waiting for permission and start creating the life you actually want. Ilana's company, Leap Academy, has helped leaders across five continents and influenced over $100 million in revenue not because she had all the answers, but because she learned how to adapt, rebuild, and rise.
This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt stuck, scared, or uncertain about their next move. It's time to leap.
In Case You Missed It: Last Week with John Paul DeJoria
If you didn't catch last week's episode with John Paul DeJoria, this is your reminder to go back and listen. John Paul's story from foster care to building billion-dollar brands like Paul Mitchell and Patrón is a masterclass in resilience, generosity, and what it means to lead with love. We talked about how his mother instilled a spirit of giving even when they had almost nothing, how he and Paul Mitchell built their empire from scratch, and why he believes that success unshared is failure.
This conversation will remind you that your circumstances don't determine your destiny your character does. And if his story resonates with you, his new book, Success Unshared Is Failure, is available for pre-order now and releases in April 2026.
Here's what I know about you: you didn't come this far to stay where you are. You didn't survive everything you've survived just to settle for less than what you're capable of. 2026 is your year to build the career you want, the life you love, and the legacy you're meant to leave.
Whether it's a bold career move, a new business, a leap of faith, or simply showing up with more courage than you did yesterday your breakthrough is waiting on the other side of your decision. Don't let fear, doubt, or past disappointments tell you what's possible. You're stronger than you think, and you're closer than you realize.
Keep showing up. Keep believing. Keep leading with love. And if you're ready to make 2026 your best year yet, I'll see you in Miami March 6–8. Until then, stay expectant, stay bold, and remember: your comeback is always stronger than your setback.
With love,
Tim
