A STORY OF SELF MASTERY

“Flow happens most often for me in high-pressure situations where others might shut down. Whether I’m coaching my basketball team in the final seconds of a playoff game, or guiding a client through a career-changing decision, I feel fully alive. My mind sharpens, my body relaxes, and time slows down. I’m locked in—listening deeply, making fast decisions, and helping others step into their strength. It’s the same feeling I had leading Marines in combat: calm, confident, connected. That’s when I know I’m doing exactly what I’m meant to do.”
