“The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.” Let’s dissect Michelangelo’s words and talk a bit about creating art. I mean, what does creating art mean anyway? And why is it important that we all do it?

Michelangelo's words suggest that uncarved marble can hold the form of every thought of an artist, leading to the discussion of the meaning and importance of creating art.

Compassion for the self moves one further down the hero’s journey. If we disagree with someone, if we feel hurt, or if we love someone and haven’t deeply shared it, we’re not being honest with ourselves. We’re not showing compassion to ourselves. We’re holding ourselves back from truly learning from the experience. And perhaps it’s these lessons that we sometimes need to open a door to the next stage in our journey.

Self-compassion is crucial in progressing through life's challenges and learning from experiences, allowing us to move further along the hero's journey.

Practicing Direct Compassion

William Blake inevitably died leaving little money to his name, yet his flesh went to the grave while his best work continued to thrive. What can we learn from Blake about living our lives on purpose? Largely criticized and often viewed as mad, Blake produced what now has been pivotal work that shifted how society thinks. Through his work, he showed us the sublime: those divine aspects of life that shake one with terror while equally beholding the majesty of existence.

William Blake's legacy lives on despite his impoverished death, teaching us to live purposefully and appreciate the sublime aspects of life that he captured in his work.

In her bestselling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, author Marie Kondo asks us this question and it’s amazing to me just how often I’ve said “No” when asking myself it. And now, I challenge you to ask the same question: What adds spark to your life?

What makes a lotus flower so unique is that it’s a little beautiful bright flower that sits atop the water with roots that travel deep into the muddy muck far below. Its symbolism represents the beauty that can grow out of the muck in our lives. What can it teach us? It turns out, quite a bit.

The lotus flower symbolizes beauty growing from muck, offering valuable life lessons.

The lights went up. I came on stage. And before I knew it, there I was bowing before the audience feeling healthy and happy with that high that all actors know comes after a performance. Exhale. The applause died down and with my first step off the stage, I transformed back into my terribly sick self. How could this be? I thought to myself. One minute, I’m sick. The other, I’m healthy, and then I’m sick again?!

Actress experiences temporary relief from illness on stage but reverts to sickness upon leaving, leading to confusion and concern.

What You Focus on Expands

What I’d like to explore with you today is what I learned in a Jungian analysis workshop I attended in New York and led by certified Jungian analysts, Morgan and Jenn Stebbins. Based on Carl Jung’s exploration of the unconscious, I’d like to leave you with three helpful steps to use the images that arise in your life as a spotlight to brighten your path on purpose.

Learn how to use unconscious images to brighten your path with three helpful steps from a Jungian analysis workshop led by certified analysts.

Unconscious Images To Guide Your Path

Imagine the impact of the people you spend time with, the spaces you live in, and the content you consume daily. These influences play a crucial role in shaping your beliefs and attitudes. In this short talk, you'll learn to create an environment that nurtures your mind, elevates your spirit, and helps you become the best version of yourself. The result? You have the power to transform your surroundings and, in doing so, transform your life.

Your environment shapes your beliefs and attitudes, learn to create a nurturing space to become the best version of yourself and transform your life.

The Power Of Influence On Your Life

Personal writing has often been looked at as the writing to keep to ourselves. What I’d like us to consider is that when we share our personal narratives, we empower others to lift the masks we are so often coerced to wear. By sharing authenticity, we spawn authenticity.

Sharing personal narratives empowers authenticity in others, lifting the masks we are often coerced to wear.

Writing To Uncover The Self

This talk explores two simple ways to find the story that drives your decision-making. Most likely unconscious, we all have an internal narrative that either pushes us to grow or holds us back from reaching our unlimited potential. The key is uncovering this story and then re-framing it to serve the unfurling of our greatest Self.

Find and reframe your internal narrative to unlock your unlimited potential.

The Story You Tell Yourself

It’s entirely normal for us to run into some sort of wall in our lives, whether that’s in the work that we do or it’s in our personal lives. But how does one break out of a rut and push through personal limitations? In this talk, I offer five considerations.

Breaking personal limitations and pushing through a rut is possible with 5 considerations - a talk summary.

Breaking Through Personal Limitations

Aristotle reminds us that “We are what we repeatedly do.” If what we do every day is work so hard that we lose sight of the present, then we enter what Carl Jung called enantiodromia: a.k.a. a mid-life crisis. That’s when one day, says Jung, after many years of working so hard that keeping busy becomes a habit, we lift our heads up from work and wonder where the years have gone.

Aristotle warns that if we repeatedly work so hard that we lose sight of the present, we risk a mid-life crisis, where we wonder where the years have gone.

Avoiding a Mid-Life Crisis

In this talk, I share the other part of the story of Icarus that you likely have never heard. Why? That answer speaks to a larger theme in much of our cultural paradigm.

The untold part of Icarus' story reveals a cultural paradigm in this engaging talk.

Growing Your Edge(s)

It’s amazing how the world’s many cultures have defined the transition from childhood to adulthood. Whether it’s a tribal celebration around a bonfire that culminates in a post-pubescent circumcision or donning a long black robe w/ cap and tassel to receive a slip of paper that says “You Are Now Credible”, each culture has attempted to clearly define the transition from childhood to adulthood. Yet, there's an internal shift that needs to occur when we move from a socialized mind to a self-authoring mind. It's just a bit harder than we like to think.

Cultures have different ways of defining the transition into adulthood, but the internal shift from a socialized mind to a self-authoring mind is harder than expected.

Create Your Own Credibility

What am I creating? Because you came into this world through creation, in the answer to that question lies your divine-inspired purpose. Your unique life. Your unique beauty. Your unique story. There’s something only you can create. To help break this down a bit, here are three simple steps to answering that question.

Discover your divine-inspired purpose through creation and unleash your unique story with these three simple steps.

One Question for True Purpose

Practice letting go of any results and continue to focus on giving 110% of your effort. It’s a way of living where you give everything in life your best effort and then practice being content with the results.

Give your best effort but let go of results, practice contentment.

Letting Go into the Unknown

This talk focuses on building up an accountability system that keeps the creative engine churning. And churning. And churning. Because let’s face it: The truth is that real extraordinary work requires a team. Yes, you are strong on your own. But you are much stronger when you surround yourself with people who build you up.

Building an accountability system that keeps the creative engine churning with a strong team is necessary for producing extraordinary work.

5 Accountability Strings to Pull You Up

Sometimes the path you are currently on (the project you are working on instead of spending time with friends, the work you are doing instead of building your hobby, the children you are raising instead of vagabonding around the world, and so on) is your hero’s journey. It’s a beautiful path that fulfills you without the need to chase FOMO. Sometimes not giving into FOMO allows you to focus on the things that matter most.

Fulfillment can come from the path you are currently on instead of chasing FOMO; focus on what matters most.

The Fear of FOMO

Fear is not an obstacle to overcome but a guide leading you toward deeper strength and authenticity. When resisted, fear creates tension, exhaustion, and avoidance. But when approached with curiosity and courage, it becomes a gateway to transformation. This guided experience invites you to step onto the warrior’s path, where fear is no longer the enemy but a messenger calling you into greater awareness and power. Through visualization and reflection, you will explore the hidden wisdom within your fear, learning to move beyond survival mode and into a place of embodied courage.

Embrace fear as a guide to inner strength and authenticity, transforming it into courage on the warrior's path through visualization and reflection.

The Warrior’s Path Through Fear

In this 5-minute meditation, you're guided through a series of visualizations that you can practice on your own or use as a tool when leading a gathering where you want people to drop in and be deeply present with one another. When leading a gathering, spend a few moments afterward reflecting with one another on what showed up for each of you: i.e. what memory came to mind? Who showed up as your support community?

A 5-minute meditation with visualizations to practice individually or to promote deep presence in group gatherings, followed by reflection.

A Boost of Happiness

From a behavioral perspective, we’re now spending twenty years (or more) sitting in the classroom. This conditions us to be the receiver of knowledge instead of a creator. It’s why we feel safe in beta-mode or prototyping behind the walls of the classroom, yet terrified to share our work with the world to critique. Now, the real work begins.

Spending 20 years in the classroom conditions us to receive knowledge, but not create; it's time to move from beta-mode to sharing our work with the world.

Unlearning After College

Your mind moves like the wind—restless, untamed, alive. Ideas rise and fall like waves, pulling you toward new horizons before the last one even reaches shore. You see what others miss, create what others fear, and thrive in the unknown. But routine, structure, and stillness? Those can feel like cages. ADHD isn’t a flaw—it’s the call of something deeper, a summons to step outside the rigid lines and into the wild intelligence you were born with. You’ll learn how to protect your energy, move with momentum, and shift between the fire of creation and the quiet presence your family needs. Your mind isn’t broken. It’s built for the wild.

ADHD is not a flaw, but a call to embrace your wild intelligence, protect your energy, and thrive in the unknown with momentum and creativity.

Harnessing the ADHD Brain

Boundaries are not walls; they are the rivers that shape the land, the sacred lines that honor both self and others. To say no is not to reject—it is to make space for what is deeply, undeniably yes. In this guided session, leadership coach Mark Guay invites you into the deeper currents of boundary-setting—not as a mere skill, but as a rite of passage. Through embodied practice and self-inquiry, you will learn to hear the quiet voice of your knowing, to distinguish between obligation and devotion, and to wield no as a sword of clarity rather than a shield of avoidance. Step into the wild terrain of your sovereignty. Honor your time, your energy, and the life that is waiting for you on the other side of over-commitment.

Embrace boundaries as sacred rivers, distinguishing between obligation and devotion to honor self and others in a session with Mark Guay.

Spoken Word Poem: Ready For Father

With nothing to lose, Leon filled up his motorcycle’s gas tank and set off from his L.A. flat east to New York. The clothes on his back, one tank of gas, a smile on his face: everything else he’d need would have to come through kindness. His goal? Ride across the world. No big deal, right? What he learned on that trip changed the course of his life forever.

Leon set out on a motorcycle journey across the world with just one tank of gas and the kindness of strangers, changing his life forever.

The Kindness Project

Today, I’d like to talk about love. No, not the kind of love you’re thinking about. I’m talking about platonic love for the Self and others, and I learned it while on a retreat at Blue Spirit in Costa Rica.

The author talks about the importance of platonic love for ourselves and others, learned during a retreat in Costa Rica.

You Are Not Alone

I began to see the physical body as a shell that carries us out through life to teach the soul a lesson or a series of lessons. I thought of my studies in anthropology and marketing and how we as a culture have come to behave in a way that favors the physical body and not the soul. We’ve come to think that a commodity will bring happiness when a physical object cannot feed the soul. The soul is only fed when the body follows one’s inspiration. By living inspired one is living “in spirit” and therein walking down its path on purpose.

The physical body is a vessel that teaches the soul lessons, and living inspired feeds the soul, not physical objects.

Lessons From A Float Tank
