Early 2025 I forgot I am a creator, but by the end of the year I had found that joy again and tapped back into the gift of creating. As we move into the new year I want to remind you of that gift, and the power you have within you right now to pursue the life you want to live this year and every day moving forward. This is part 1 in a short series about being Locked In for 2025, enjoy! Check out my Contact Page where I have links to each of my brands and all of my current social media. ...
Moving into the new year I am committed to being intentional with my marketing efforts when it comes to my products and services. This means I need to look at what I have been doing (not much in recent years), what I haven't been doing (being consistent), what I need to continue, and what I need to stop. I sat down and did an audit of my marketing over the past 2 years and came to the conclusion of what I need to focus on moving forward into 2026. I formulated a plan of action to follow...

The weekend following Mr Olympia I went to Los Angeles California to take part in Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion. This would be my 5th time volunteering backstage with Art Hearts Fashion and it was one of the best shows I have been part of, including 2 I attended as part of the audience. Walking in backstage was like a mini family reunion; seeing all of the staff, photographers, models, and other volunteers I had seen or met with at previous shows. This was a ch...

Coming out of 2024 The Year of Events I had to decide what I wanted the theme of 2025 to be. After much thought, prayer, and introspective it became clear something big would be on the horizon for my life. Putting that into action, and backing it up with belief the entire way, I decided the theme for 2025 would be The Year of New Opportunities. I knew I would be looking for new opportunities everywhere I went, that I would be open to moving far beyond my comfort zone, that I would be leveling...
2024 was the first year I themed for my life; I called it The Year Of Events. After years of FOMO I decided I would take action, and committed to attend the events in 2024. Despite whatever would come up, I would not let myself talk myself out of attending something I knew I wanted to be at. I put together a plan, started using Notion to track the events, and got out from behind a keyboard to go connect in person. One of the best moves I have made in recent years. Today's ep...

In this episode I want to outline exactly what that looks like and what I am focused on for the rest of 2025.

Ups and downs come. Life happens. What you do with your time what is important. Tune in, and shoot me a...
Karma and Simba were huge parts of my life over the past 2 years, and since losing them in March and April I have felt their absents deeply. Soon after loosing Simba I wrote a letter to the doggie day care I got him from and in this episode of the podcast I want to share that letter with you. Why? Because life is what happens between your plans, and life hit me hard this year taking my 2 dogs. Press play to hear the story of 2 (or even 3) of the most amazing dogs on the planet. If not your th...
In early 2023 I received advice around shutting down JohnnyBoy Studios, placing everything under construction, and relaunching bigger and better than before. Well I did the first part, I shut everything down or let it die out in 2023. Since then I have not pursued relaunching because it was "never the right time" and I always had "one more thing" to do or more important than bringing back any particular brand. In this episode I walk through the how and the why of shutting down Joh...
Over the years I have launched many different creative projects on many different platforms, and often I would create an email address and landing page for each. SoCal Live Music Review, 75 Hard Daily, & JohnnyBoy Studios to name a few. This led to me having many email inboxes, landing pages, hosting, URLs, etc. and trying to manage it all. In 2023 I shut down most of these pages in the process of focusing solely on JohnnyBoy Photos and the rebrand. With showing up so many different...

Something I heard almost all of 2024 was the viewpoint that starting something new was equal to starting over, and starting over from zero. As we move into the new year can we be done with this limiting belief?? I know we may not ever fully eliminate it from our own internal operating systems, but I will be the first to tell you starting over doesn't mean starting over. You go with you. See what I mean by hitting play on this episode. Let's connect! I'd love to hear from you...

I once heard someone say “Who you are will set you free” and I fully believe that. It has taken me a while to come to terms with this, but when you stop running from what sets you apart and instead embrace it, so much good can come into your life. Your unique advantage is what sets you apart. Chances are good your unique advantage has followed you throughout your life. We are the sum of our experiences, who we are now is because of what we experienced yesterday. &n...

You'll have to tune in and hear all about it in this episode of the podcast. Le...

This is the premier fitness event of the year full of my ideal client both on the stage and at the expo, this is a room I wanted to be in.
