I feel we need more kindness, creativity, communication, and critical thinking in the world.

My mission in life is to help people think about how to improve and how you can improve the world around you. I've created a small conference around these concepts.

I'm excited for our 2nd 1% Better Conference taking place August 22-23 in the Omaha area. I have some amazing people lined up to speak. Ticket prices will go up after June 30th.

I'd love to see you there.

Please share to help me get the word out.

REMINDER: update your beneficiaries.

I just realized I hadn’t added a beneficiary to an account so I updated it.

You can name a beneficiary on almost all financial, retirement, and insurance accounts to bypass the lengthy probate process.

Many people don’t have a beneficiary on all their accounts or they haven’t updated it with a change in circumstances (like death or divorce).

Make sure you have the correct person or people listed. You will be giving a gift of reducing their stress in the terrible situation something happens to you.

I was honored to speak at MilMoneyCon in Savannah on Communicating to Connect with your clients. This conference is focused on financial professionals with military ties.

It’s so important to have empathy and understand nobody is perfect. We’ve all made mistakes. I learned so much from all the amazing people in this community.

I’m headed to Savannah for MilMoneyCon. It’s a money conference for financial professionals supporting the military and veteran community.

I’ll be speaking on how to “Communicate for Connection”

This idea has shown up everywhere for me lately.
In my military background
In coaching TEDx speakers
And in building the 1% Better Conference

Different environments, same pattern:

We focus on information when what people actually need is connection

That’s where communication starts to work.

What types of challenges do you see in regards to communication?

What if one weekend could change your perspective?

We often tell ourselves:
“I’ll work on myself when things slow down.”
“I’ll focus on growth when life feels easier.”
“I’ll invest in myself later.”

But what if later is what keeps us stuck?

The truth is, the most powerful breakthroughs often happen when we intentionally step away from our daily routine and surround ourselves with people who are also committed to growing.

That’s exactly what The 1% Better Conference is about.

It’s not about becoming a completely different person overnight. It’s about becoming more of who you are meant to be just one step at a time.

Through inspiring speakers, meaningful conversations, and small group connections, you’ll gain:
🌱 Fresh perspective
💡 Practical ideas you can apply immediately
🤝 Encouragement from people who truly understand growth isn’t linear
🔥 Motivation to keep going, even when progress feels slow

Everyone attending has a story. Everyone attending is working toward something better. And everyone attending is choosing not to stay stuck.

Register now because space is limited!
