How to Master Public Speaking Once & For All
Does public speaking freak you out? Welcome to the club.

Yesterday, I gave two speeches back-to-back.

 It was one of the most stressful days of the past few months.

A few hours before I took the stage for the first speech, I was chatting with one of my best friends, and I told her how nervous I felt.

Being the awesome friend she is, she gave me advice: "You are providing ...
How to Start: Why I Don’t Want to Find My Passion
Driving around the streets in Managua, I'm constantly face-to-face with drastic poverty.

At every intersection, a group of children approach my car with squeegees in hand.

They want to clean my windshield in exchange for a few cents, maybe a dollar.

The inevitability of death can cause incredible reactions within us, like finally living the life of ...

After a while, they noticed I was missing.

They looked for me everywhere, but I was in the safest place ...
Adventurous & Determined: What The Sandlot Taught Me About Life
What if I told you that all our lives, we are living an adventure — just like the ones we watch in movies? Growing up, one of my favorite movies was The Sandlot.

Who am I kidding, it's still one of my favorite movies.

I've probably watched it dozens of times and never get bored.

It was actually the first movie I watched with JJ on one of our first dates.
