Hey Reader! You can know exactly what to do with AI, video, email, monetization, systems... And still stay stuck in your business. Here's what I've learned after years of working with creators and solopreneurs: most people don't need more information. They need to believe in the information they already have. We second-guess the next move, we play small, we watch other people execute on the same idea we had six months ago, and wonder what they had that we didn't. That's why my Momentum...

Hello Reader, My birthday has never really been a big deal to me. It never has been. It's not about the day, or the attention, or the presents. It's not even about the cake... and if you know me, you know I'm not a sweets guy anyway. But there's one version of a birthday I've always loved, and it came from my dad. Every year on his birthday, my dad did something I've never forgotten: he gave gifts to everyone else. I can still picture us walking into Fortunoff at the Woodbridge Center Mall in...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, My birthday is today (August 2), and if you've known me for a while, you know it's never really been a big deal to me. To me, it's just another day, and it's definitely not about any attention or presents. It's not even about the cake... and once again... if you know me, you know I'm "not a sweets guy" anyway. But there's one version of a birthday I've always loved, and it came from my dad. Every year on his birthday, my dad did something...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, How is your week going so far? Me? I am head-down, knee-deep, and all-in on my D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event prep! I can't believe it's just a (yikes!!!) few weeks away, but I'm planning some really fun things (and VERY cool giveaways - AND a Grand Prize!) for our WDW Radio booth on the show floor! Stay tuned for more details soon! But can I tell you about something else that I've been thinking about the last couple of weeks? And no,...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, Sorry this week's newsletter is a little late. I had a speaking engagement this week, where I shared Leadership Lessons from Walt Disney, and am deep deeeeeeeeepppppp into planning and preparing the WDW Radio booth for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Experience in (yikes!) just a few weeks! But let me start off by asking you something. What's the weirdest or most unexpected piece of Disney merch you own? Not the most expensive. Not the...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, I did something this week I don’t normally do… because so many of you have been asking me about it all week long. You may have heard (lol)… there is a new rule at Disney Springs. As of June 28th, you can only hop the resort buses and boats from Springs if you are actually staying at a resort or you have a dining reservation. I've said this for years, and this past week was a perfect example: when Disney changes something… anything… a...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello, my friend! 👋 You may have been to a Momentum event before... so it's possible you already know that Momentum isn't your typical business event. This year? It's the most intentional lineup I've ever put together. Every speaker, every session, every day has been designed around one goal: you leaving Orlando with more than inspiration. You'll leave with a real, documented plan for growing, scaling, and monetizing your business. And you won't just...

Hey Reader! We're a few months away from the Momentum Weekend Workshop (breathe, Lou!): a 1-room, 50-person, 4-day event for solopreneurs and creators. Since 2016, this event has helped attendees monetize, market, and grow their brands... and ultimately turn their passions into profit. One question I get all the time is: "What makes this event different from other conferences?" My answer? Well, it's two-fold. First and foremost, it's different for the community you find in the room. It's the...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello, my friend! I have to be honest with you about something. I thought this week's podcast was going to be an interview about baseball. It was not. Standing on the field at ESPN Wide World of Sports with Jesse Cole - founder of the Savannah Bananas - the conversation became something I did not expect. Jesse talked about Walt. About the Walt Disney World experience he had as a kid that stayed with him for decades and became the seed of everything he...
