I got in a car with no driver…

A Day In The Life | 0 comments

Earlier this week, I was in Phoenix for a mastermind event.

It was exactly what I needed—time to recharge, reflect, plan, and hang with other business owners who just get it.

But the real surprise?

Wasn’t the strategy sessions or the brainstorms.

It was the driverless car that picked me up from my Airbnb and took me to the airport.

Yep. Just me… and the Waymo.

No driver. Just a quiet ride, cool music, and the feeling that I had officially entered the Jetsons era.

At first, I was hesitant.

What if it felt sketchy?

What if something went wrong?

Was I really about to get into a car with no human behind the wheel?

But then… I did it.

And honestly?

It was kind of magical.

Smooth. Safe. Easy.

Like the future had casually pulled up to the curb and said, “Hop in.”

It got me thinking—

So many of us are building businesses that are ahead of the curve.

We’re trying new things. Testing new models. Taking bold steps forward.

And yeah, it can feel weird at first.

But that’s what it feels like when you’re creating something the world hasn’t fully caught up to yet.

A little unfamiliar.

A little thrilling.

A little like riding in a car with no driver.

So if your business feels like it’s headed somewhere exciting but you’re not quite sure how it’ll all work out—

You’re probably on the right track.

Just because something feels new doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Sometimes it just means… you’re already in the future.

You’ve got this!

The Balancing Act

This week has been busy. This morning, I'm finally able to exhale a little bit. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been able to make some significant progress up two massive print design projects. It's been hard to focus on anything else. These projects have taken up...
