Real Life Motivation. Without the Hype.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I’m grateful for that.

So let me give it my best right now to keep our momentum going.

Yes?

I KNOW that there are 10,000+ “motivational gurus” great at talking about achieving goals, serving others, being mindful, finding purpose, living with harmony, overcoming obstacles…and living the life they love.

Lots are sayin’ it…but how many are passionately and successfully DOIN’ it?

There is ZERO pretend here.

1. I’ve WALKED across NINE countries and pedaled a bike ocean-to-ocean across the U.S. solo…twice. In total, I’ve created adventures in 60+ countries.

2. I’m the creator of the “Extra Mile Day” movement (11/1)…a day recognizing volunteer heroes who “go the extra mile” in making a difference. When I had the crazy idea in 2009 to create a special day to celebrate amazing volunteers…23 mayors participated. On 11/1/24, 517 cities made the declaration.

3. I’ve written seven books (80,000+ copies sold) and have hit #1 on Amazon in “Motivation” and “Self Help” several times.

4. I’ve reached hundreds of thousands with my speaking and writing…including a speaking tour in the Philippines attended by 20,000+ people.

5. I’m a lifetime entrepreneur (since my first gig at age 10 selling worms to fishermen)…and now I’m lucky to not worry about making money, but instead, on making a difference.

That’s me.

I know struggle.
I know challenge.
I know survival.

And I KNOW success.

Your type of person?

Then subscribe to Extra Mile Thursday. Every week I give it my best to write something short and sweet…and inspiring. (Go to the bottom of this website to sign-up…for FREE!)

Or better yet.

Order a book. If you order through this website…I’ll see your order before it goes out…and inscribe something personal to you.

And one more thing…

I am really good at answering emails.

With much gratitude for you being here now…
