On a Mission to Help Thought Leaders Rise as Global Voices of Impact 🎤

In 2022, my life changed forever.
What once terrified me—speaking—became the spark that ignited my calling. That moment wasn’t just about finding my voice. It was about helping others discover theirs.

Today, I help thought leaders grow influential brands, land TEDx talks, and become global voices of transformation.

As a Forbes-featured entrepreneur, International TEDx Speaker, 2× Bestselling Author, Podcast Host, and Award-Winning Speaker, I’ve built a proven system to help speakers, consultants, and CEOs elevate their message and confidently lead movements that matter.

Whether you're launching a podcast, applying for TEDx, or building your authority in a crowded space, I bring both strategy and soul to your success.


What I Do:

• Help entrepreneurs + speakers become TEDx speakers

• Build magnetic brands that drive revenue to your business

• Land TV interviews and launch profitable podcasts

• Coach leaders using my GRASP™ Method (Gratitude, Responsibility, Action, Sight, Purpose)

• Host the globally ranked GRASP Confidence podcast


I believe confidence is a calling, not a personality trait and that leadership grounded in faith, strategy, and action can change the world.

From rural Maryland as the youngest child of five raised by a single mother to global stages, I’m proof that when you bet on yourself anything is possible.

My purpose is to help others rise in their God-given identity and pursue their callings with confidence. ❤️



𝘼𝙨 𝙖 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧 & 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩:
I deliver high-impact keynotes and workshops on leadership and personal growth, blending confidence with business strategies that create lasting transformation and success. 

𝘼𝙨 𝙖 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨:
I help thought leaders refine their messaging, position their brands for success, land TEDx talks, build global influence, and turn their stories into movements. My clients step onto world-class stages and lead businesses with clarity, purpose, and conviction.


Are you ready to elevate your impact, brand, leadership, and confidence? Let’s build something extraordinary together!

Are you strategically utilizing internal communication? I have been producing podcasts and media for over 13 years, and specialize in Internal Podcasts. This type of podcast, that I also call "Inward Facing Podcasts" are a really powerful tool for boosting engagement and alignment in a companies, organizations, and affiliations. At Podville Media, we leverage a video and audio to transform internal storytelling and messaging. 

As co-founder of Podville Media, based in Washington, DC, and Maryland, I bring a passion for innovative media solutions to every project. Our team has earned a table full of Telly Awards, including three in 2023 for excellence in podcast production. We offer full-service podcasting and media production, from strategy to editing to distribution.

With 25+ years in the DC/MD/VA real estate market, and experience in the tourism and golf industries, I understand diverse communication needs. My book, "The Tao of Podcasting," takes a look at this form of media in a different and insightful perspective.

Outside of work, I'm a father of twins and a mandolin player in a folk duo and jug band.

Folk Song Friday is back!

Gerry and I sung at Ginger Cove in Annapolis this week, and I am including “This Land” because I think we need to remember the incredible sentiment that Woody Guthrie expressed in this song. It is about including EVERYBODY. 

The verse that I sing here, that we include every time, is also written by Woody. I think it is classic.

As I went walking,
I saw a sign there, 
And on one side it said “No Trespassing”,
But on the other side,
It didn’t say nothing - 
That side was made for you and me.

This is one of the first songs my father taught me, and he loved to sing it. Happy Friday! I hope you sing something today.
