Ages ago, I quit my cubicle job to go for my dream of being a songwriter. The number of people who predicted my failure was stunning. Well, I logged over 500,000 road miles, performed about 1653 shows, made 7 CD’s, an award winning DVD, performed on stage with peeps like John Mayer, Nanci Griffith and Los Lobos. I even had two dance companies choreograph ballets to my tunes. But none of it compares to who I became along the way. I created a record label, built a team, made a business. Then I reinvented myself and built a second business called Uplevel You and started changing lives of entrepreneurs and creatives who – more often than not – feel like they just aren’t cut out for this shit. They are. They just need someone who has walked in their shoes to show them how. That would be me.
