Bullying Story

• Growing up, I was the shy guy and much smaller than almost everybody else. I was the person that people would chase down after school. I found myself trying to rebuild my inner love and respect for myself. In grade seven, I found myself picking on grade one kids.
• It was this whole circle of getting picked on and then me picking on others. To rebuild my worth, I started picking on someone else.
• Then one day at the bike rack, my friend Fred looked me square in the eye and said, If you ever bother my brother again, there will be a problem.
• In that moment, I realized that I was hurting and was now inflicting that pain on others.
• Don't tear others down while you're being torn down. You're just going to create a circle.

Speaking Experience

• I've spoken to groups ranging from very large to as small as three people. Some people are naturally charismatic, while others are not.
• I'm in the 'not charismatic' category. I have to think about how I'm going to show up in front of people.
• I was a speaker for ten years. It helps when you can connect with an audience.

Helping Podcasters

• In podcasting, I get to meet great people. I get to travel the world with a microphone and hear interesting stories.
• I help people tell their stories. That brings me a lot of joy.

Words of Advice

• Think about something you never thought you could do. You smile and you wish that this could happen in your life but for some reason you have not put any action behind it. What is it?
• Write the book, create the content, ask someone to marry you. There's something out there that is on the top of your wish list. Something that if there were no restrictions, you would love for it to happen.
• Let's make that happen.
