A day in the life of a professional speaker…

Awaken in a hotel room I’ll never see again, totally aware it’s below freezing outside.

Bathroom. Pray. Make some coffee. Check emails. Read. Protein bar.

Practice presentation.

Write.

Practice presentation.

Dress for outdoor run.

Run.

If we think, mumble, pronounce, “I hate exercise”, it’s time to look in the mirror, and get over it.

It may also be time to look for new friends (in extreme cases), or to convince our friends it’s time for a new look (more likely).

Four wellness observations from Super Bowl Sunday

2. The athletes are warriors of health, strength, determination

3. The potential of winning sells

4. Sex sells

Note to self, as your age jeff, you will reap what you sow?

This is meant to explain what volumes try, but fail miserable to convincingly illuminate. We don’t need volumes, just this…

A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.
