I’ll try to hop on for The Communication Lab from my phone but it isn’t looking good! Feel free to send your questions or assistance needs via DM!

Twenty years ago my sister and I produced the first-ever Vagina Monologues in Dubuque, Iowa. We'd seen Eve Ensler perform it on Broadway and decided to bring it home. We had no idea people would react the way they did. They called the police on us. They told us we needed to leave their town. We sold out both nights anyway and raised $30,000 for the Riverview Center. This year we're holding the 20th anniversary at Voices Gallery. Day 5 of the series is about Will. Not the white-knuckling kind. Ha! The faith-rooted kind that holds its direction and finds the channel even when the room is saying no. The opposition wasn't the obstacle. It was the curriculum. James 1 says the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work. We didn't raise $30,000 despite the resistance. We raised it because we didn't let the resistance create what was possible. Today's homework is, name one place where outside circumstances are draining your will right now, then ask yourself are you trying to smash through it, or are you looking for the channel where the energy flows? Post your answer here. And tell me what's something you did anyway when the world said "we don't do that here"?

Day 3's video was about the science/psychology behind Reason. I'm curious to know what you are all focused on right now. Please fill out the poll!

Something I haven’t mentioned in here yet and I want to put it out to this community first. On July 28th, I’m attending a live business event in Chicago. Shane and Rachel Krider are the featured speakers. There will be $50K Club winners in the room. And the last World Tour event like this produced three new $50K Club members in a single night. I have the ability to bring guests completely free. Here’s how it works: hop on a discovery call with me, watch the business presentation, and if it feels like a fit, I personally register you as my guest. No ticket cost. No pressure. Just a room full of people who have already done what you’re thinking about doing. If you’re in the Chicago area, or can get there, want to know. Drop a comment below with where you’re coming from, or just DM me the word CHICAGO and I’ll send you the details personally. July 28th. One night. The right room. Let’s talk. 👇

I’m excited to share one of my recent acting wins! I appeared as a co-star on NBC’s Chicago P.D., and I’d love to invite you to check out my work. I’m an actor, producer, communication professor, and creator who believes deeply in building a creative life with purpose, freedom, visibility, and courage. So much of what I teach inside The Prosperity Ascent Lab comes from living this myself: showing up, building confidence, putting yourself out there, creating your own opportunities, and refusing to wait for someone else to hand you permission. If you love film, television, acting, storytelling, confidence, visibility, or the behind-the-scenes journey of building a creative career, I’d love to hear how you're using that in your current hustle!
