The most appropriate thing to do on one’s first morning in Memphis is to head directly to its most popular attraction: Graceland, of course! Luckily as part of the TravelCon registration fee, we were entitled to several “familiarization trips,” or FAMs for short. These are free entrances to museums, parks, or tours; special events just…

Turn Ordinary Places into Memorable Destinations
We tend to think of the world as being “discovered.” Every corner of the globe has already been mapped out, trod upon, or otherwise known to humanity in some way.

At the World Domination Summit last month in Portland, Oregon, I declared to record a one-minute video of myself every day, which I’ve done. However, I have not shared them publicly. I’m kicking up the accountability several notches now by committing to posting a video on YouTube every day this month. I will talk about…

It has been over a month since my last post, so I wanted to give you an update on what’s happening. I am working on some posts about our Atlanta trip in April, but they will be posted on my forthcoming website that I hope to launch in the early summer. You will find new…
