Joey, why did you write this book? I have heard this question repeatedly as we prepare for the book pre-order on Amazon for May 4th and the actual retail rollout on June 6th. It’s really an easy answer. My purpose is to inspire leaders and team members to trust in the good in people as […]
As I conclude my Zoom conference call, I can’t stop chuckling over our conversation. This was our monthly coaching call and he is a high-level executive and a dear friend. He and his wife have recently purchased land in the rural part of their state and are highly engaged in setting up a garden, planting […]
I bought CeCe a beautiful pink outfit for our anniversary which she packed and carried on our recent business trip to California. How do I know it was beautiful? She kept this one — ha! When we returned home, she unpacks the new outfit — which she still had not worn — tags still attached. […]
We have a 7:30 dinner reservation at a nice restaurant in Vegas and actually arrive about five minutes early (Yeah CeCe). The hostess (not extremely friendly) takes my name and phone number. Handing me a pager, “this will vibrate when we have your table ready.” “We have a 7:30 reservation and everyone is here, how […]

My closet at home is out of control. It’s so out of control that it is starting to stress me! CeCe has asked me about once a week to go through it and give away a bunch of the things that I am not using. But the more I looked at it, the more intimidated […]
Three days a week, I do a two-mile walk then 30 minutes of strength training, working a different section of the body each day. When I started, it instructed me to do two to three sets of each exercise. After 60 days, I went up to four. As you can imagine, some days, time is […]
Last year, I finally secured a boat storage slip with a roof for my fishing boat. I was so excited, I bought a lock and hauled my boat up there for the winter months. This facility was just 15 minutes from my house and a mile from the reservoir so I could grab my boat […]
Well, it’s 6 a.m. in Palm Springs and as I slip out of the room with no lights so I don’t wake CeCe, I breathe a sigh of relief as the door clicks softly as it closes. Now it’s off to grab a cup of coffee and then hit the gym before my meeting. Walking […]
