When do you say YES to franchisee ideas? And when must you say NO? Listen in, and tell me what you think. Hope this equips franchisors and potential franchise partners for success. And big thanks to @shawnpwalchef for inspiring #smartphonestorytelling

gm, frens. It doesn't matter where you are. There’s beauty, opportunity, love, and immense power present. The only variable? Is whether YOU are present. (scrolling, regret, and thinking too far in the future will rob you of these blessings) ARTWORK: Nara, by @nekomaru

gm frens! Nothing wrong with striving above + beyond. You eliminate regret, it inspires, and reveals how far you can go. But equally as powerful (don't let culture trick you), is being present and content, too. PIECE: Above + Beyond ARTIST: @i_am_michea

Every high-performer will credit their success to someone who believed in them. A Boss. Friend. Coach. Mentor. Teacher. Other half. Business partner. Even a random stranger can change your life. Who is someone who believed in your success?

Stupid is a strategy. Stay with me. There's no shortage of smart people who are unfulfilled. And intelligence can even a bottleneck. For me, success requires: ☑️ Doing a lot of dumb things ☑️ Making mistakes ☑️ Recalibrating ☑️ Asking for help, and ☑️ Stumbling on shit I…

gm frens. People say: “If I knew then what I knew now...” Forget that. You didn’t know. And because of that, you have a different type of wisdom. Don’t judge yesterday’s decision with today’s wisdom. It'll paralyze you with regret. ARTWORK: The Frog That Made It, @rustnfteth

Most of us have no problem working for long hours. But inspiration happens when you're away. Resting. Experiencing wonder. Make time to step outside, and change your scenery. Your best work is en route. gm, frens! PICTURED: Fishing ARTIST: @concepiracy

gm frens! Innovation isn't always found in a new thing. It can be discovered looking at the same thing in a new way. So change the angle. Elevate the scenery. Step back (or come closer). Walk away and come back. It isn't far away. ARTWORK: SOL 73 ARTIST: @xcometarts

gm, frens. Behind every reason why you can't or won't do something... Is a story you tell yourself. It comes from upbringing, traumatic events, and other people who sell it well. But if doesn't serve you? Destroy it. Get a better story. ARTWORK: Light It, by @Shekwoloeth

Let your kid make you coffee. I'm sharing a parenting win (those are rare lol!). My 16 year old has previously been moody in the morning. He's either quiet, short, or snarky with us. Can't connect with him until after school. Also - he stays in bed until we come back in the…
