• "What does my brand say about me?"
• "What makes me unique?"
• "How do I position myself to stand out?"
• "How can I take control of my time and freedom?"

Or even...

• "What should I do if my career isn't cutting it?"
• "How can I develop better habits?"
• "What skills do I need to develop?
• "What is my purpose?"
• "What does my ideal future look like?"

Then, you've come to the right place.

My Story

Growing up in a small Mississippi town meant always feeling spotlighted. It seemed that everybody was always worried about what you were doing. And that meant obsessing over what folks thought about you.

I wanted desperately to be accepted. But my confidence was low, and extreme shyness prevented me from expressing myself. So I was awkward... in every social situation.
After high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps, thinking I would gain confidence. While going through hell and back made me more courageous, self-confidence remained an issue.

From there, I pursued advanced studies and found exciting work as a "Program Manager" in the Aerospace & Defense Industry. But there was always some nagging feeling that I needed to learn a new skill, obtain new credentials, or get a better job.

Then, in 2016, I experienced a personal meltdown. So, I walked away from my job and moved to Tokyo, Japan, to start fresh. It didn't take long to realize that making it in Tokyo meant figuring out what makes me unique and embracing that fully. I spent the next two years on a personal journey to discover what was waiting to be set free beneath the surface.

Why Do I Write

If you'd told me all those years ago, that I'd one day be writing about confidence and personal discovery on the internet, I'd have thought you were kidding. But after struggling to express myself for so long, it seems to be helping.

I haven't figured everything out yet. And writing helps me figure out all the things I don't know. But I've made some important discoveries.

• It's okay to have a unique opinion, and that's what people want to hear.
• Procrastination won't get you closer to your goals. Action is what counts.
• Writing helps you figure out who you are and what you want in life.
