Your fierceness is so flawed and sexy it activates me, it gives me clear direction on where to add value. It all impacts me like a fresh piece of ass and art.

Taking care of myself is now priority number one starting with my emotional and mental health, followed by the deep meaningful relationships I am lucky to have and hopefully begin new ones. Yes, that's pretty much everything I’m zoned in on right now.

In order to get the full experience, you must visit the site from a computer, not a mobile device. Allow me to walk you through some of my most memorable travel experiences in a Pre-COVID world.

So what I thought was going to be a business blog at first, has now morphed into a personal outlet where I can look back at my own journey, and all of the incredible and challenging moments along the way. As hard as it has been to share private moments and experiences, it’s gotten easier post by post. It’s turned out to be an outlet to elevate and expedite my own self-growth. So let’s continue, shall we?

I assume that you've been following my journey for the last several years now and it’s gotten you interested enough to have you come back (If you haven’t been here before, I invite you to look into my life by starting here (link). If you’re already familiar, I’m glad you’re back. You’ve seen and read how I’ve opened myself up in ways that, at first, were unthinkably scary for anyone, especially for someone who was as guarded and private as I was.

If you know me, you know that I value the reflective side of me, the side that our society and many cultures try to take away from us because we are men and “we are not supposed to show the byproduct of reflection”, which, in my opinion, is emotion. I used to hide the emotional side of me because of many of the same reasons some men still do. I used to hide it because I wasn’t truly a man but as I learned what it really means to have that luxury, I starting living in power and not fear.

All I can say is thank you to all of you who thought you would be able to kill us. We’re not dead and we’re better, more resilient, and smarter than I ever expected to be. The investors who come into my company today can rest assured that we’ve run into all of the potholes in our path and we’re now better equipped to swerve to not hit them next time we see them.

Not only has Mr. Scott properly baby’d the most successful Kardashian but Travis also has one on the worlds most successful tours at the moment (with a real-life full-blown rollercoaster that rolls over the audience and he’s riding it) he is also as creative as they say.

He ties it all in with autotune and simple melodies that are purely artful. Click here to listen and read more.

I don’t care who you are and where you come from, somebody helped you get to where you are today. For me, it was many people who had a hand in helping me see what was possible and help me stay on track even after getting off course. I cannot count how many have had their hands in mentoring me and guiding my life but what I can tell you is who gave me everything. Enter Billy the Kid

When I was 15 years old I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior at a summer camp for youth. It was a gorgeous afternoon on Lake Okeechobee just around the corner from Orlando, FL. The afternoon was perfectly set up. The youth pastor was calling everyone and anyone who wanted to claim Jesus Christ as the one and only god (aka my personal savior) and this skinny, tall, 15-year-old kid felt the Holy Spirit calling him to raise his hand and take the faithful leap. I did.
One of the many traps and misconceptions that men fall into is that being a strong and masculine man means not showing emotion. Not allowing ourselves to use the other side of our brains (like women aren’t afraid to do) is being manly, but this inherently means hiding our heart. For many years, I fell into that trap and didn’t realize how damaging of a pattern that actually is. I would hide the fact that I am a super feeler and super aware of the energies around me, which is why I can not only see and understand you but also feel what you are feeling before you know you are feeling it. Ask someone…

Every place I’ve ever lived in, from San Diego to NYC, has had an impact on my life and direction, which is pretty typical. I’ve made lifelong friends and have learned what the new racism looks like, which I find valuable, duh. I invite you to read a brief synopsis of my time in some of these cities; a summary of the memories that are fresh on my mind. I was inspired to write this after last weekend in Atlanta someone asked, “What do I have to do to be an executive like you?” I answered very easily, “Get out and travel.”

Read MoreI was a skinny eighth grader who was new to the game of basketball and new to Chula Vista. I had not played organized anything up until I came to San Diego. My eighth grade basketball team went to a game at the infamous Chula Vista High School. We were playing the Sweetwater Red Devils and the Spartan team was led by Carnell Penn and others who looked like big men to us little eighth graders.
