💼 Follow the Breadcrumbs: A Pharmaceutical Sales Journey
Before I ever stepped into a pulpit or coached on a stage, I was making sales calls — wearing a tie, carrying samples, and walking into doctors’ offices with confidence and curiosity. My time at Pfizer didn’t just build my resume. It built my discipline.
🔹 A Career I Didn’t Expect
• I started in pharmaceutical sales after my time at Gold’s Gym — stepping into an industry that demanded focus, professionalism, and people skills.
• Over 8 years, I sold four different billion-dollar products and was eventually promoted to a specialty role.
🔹 Training Ground for Communication
• At Pfizer, we role-played. We presented. We were recorded.
• I learned to speak clearly, listen intently, and prepare like a professional.
• What I didn’t know then? I was being prepared to speak in churches, on podcasts, and at conferences years later.
🔹 Beyond the Metrics
• It wasn’t just about closing the sale — it was about building trust.
• That mindset stayed with me — through coaching, preaching, and podcasting.
• The lessons I learned in that corporate world shaped how I lead and serve today.
🥖 Follow the Breadcrumbs: A Preacher’s Journey
Sometimes we don’t see the full path until we look back. I never imagined all the places God would take me — or how many small breadcrumbs would eventually lead to full-time ministry. But they were always there, one step at a time.
🔹 The Early Hints
• As a kid, I was already reading verses out loud. God was training my voice.
• In high school, I wrote: “I want to preach in far away places.”
• In college, I recorded church radio commercials — unknowingly preparing to teach, preach, and podcast.
🔹 The Long Pondering
• I preached occasionally in my 20s, but without a formal title.
• For 8 years, I wrestled with the decision: full-time preaching or not?
🔹 The Leap of Faith
• At 30, I joined a two-year preacher training program — and stayed 8 total years.
• I helped lead bootcamps and trained future preachers.
• Eventually, I preached in Africa and Mexico — fulfilling that teenage journal entry.
🔹 The Expansion
• I moved to Lewisville, TX to preach full-time on my own.
• I authored a book specifically for preachers.
• I began speaking regularly at conferences, including Brooklyn.
🔹 Multiplication
• I launched a two-year preacher development program.
• I’m now preparing a 1-year intensive training.
• And through my podcast, I now reach 78+ countries with God’s message.
📚 Follow the Breadcrumbs: An Author’s Journey
I never set out to write books. I set out to serve. The words just kept showing up — in journals, sermons, study notes, and blog posts. Eventually, I realized: it was time to put them together and share them with the world.
🔹 It Started With the Spoken Word
• I’ve always loved words — speaking them, studying them, sharing them.
• As a preacher and teacher, I began to see that some messages needed to live beyond the pulpit.
• I started saving lessons, stories, and outlines — not for fame, but for future readers.
🔹 From Notes to Pages
• My first book was simple — but it opened the door.
• One book turned into two… then five… then fifteen.
• I’ve published through Amazon and Spirit Building Publishing — with books on faith, mindset, leadership, and courage.
🔹 Writing for the Next Generation
• My books have reached college students, new Christians, seasoned leaders, and struggling believers.
• I’ve written for kids, for preachers, for the broken, and for the sick.
🔹 A Living Library
• My writing has become an extension of my voice — sermons in paperback, podcasts on paper.
• I now see my blog, books, and Bible studies as part of a living digital library — one designed to equip and encourage.
🎙️ Follow the Breadcrumbs: A Podcasting Journey
What started as a whisper became a global echo. I never intended to be a podcaster — but I couldn’t ignore the nudge to speak encouragement into a microphone.
🔹 Starting Small
• In 2019, I launched The I Can Do Podcast — no studio, no sponsors, just a message.
• Early episodes were solo reflections. Just my voice and a mission.
🔹 Staying Consistent
• I passed 100… then 200… then 300 episodes.
• I started interviewing CEOs, NFL coaches, preachers, and everyday overcomers.
• The show began reaching people around the globe.
🔹 Full Integration
• Podcasting strengthened my speaking, coaching, and writing.
• I’ve repurposed episodes into books, lessons, and blog posts.
• This platform became a pulpit — and a ministry of its own.
⏳ Follow the Breadcrumbs: A Time Management Coaching Journey
Time management was never just about the clock. It was about clarity. About alignment. And about helping people move from overwhelmed to intentional.
🔹 The First Signs
• As a preacher and coach, I noticed recurring pain points: stress, distraction, burnout.
• I started helping others manage not just their schedules — but their lives.
🔹 The Coaching Approach
• I built frameworks around clarity, calendar rhythm, and mindset.
• My clients began saying things like, “I finally feel in control again.”
• This became more than coaching — it became liberation.
🔹 The Bigger Mission
• I don’t teach hustle culture. I teach alignment with values.
• My coaching isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters.
• Helping others reclaim their time is part of how I help them reclaim their purpose.
🌍 Follow the Breadcrumbs: An International Speaker’s Journey
I didn’t pursue stages. I pursued purpose. And the stages came. From Texas to Africa, boardrooms to Bible camps, I kept showing up — and God kept opening doors.
🔹 Humble Beginnings
• My early talks were at gyms, banks, schools, and churches.
• Then came podcast interviews, roundtables, and lectureships.
🔹 Global Impact
• I’ve spoken in 17 U.S. states, Mexico, and Africa.
• Through my podcast, I’ve reached listeners in 78 countries.
• I’ve served as emcee, workshop leader, and panelist — both virtual and live.
🔹 A Message That Moves
• My talks span topics like faith, fitness, communication, leadership, and legacy.
• I speak without notes. I speak from the heart.
• And I speak so others can walk away saying: I can do this.
🎤 Follow the Breadcrumbs: An Ultraspeaking Journey
I never meant to become a speaking coach — certainly not at the level of coaching CEOs, YouTubers, and teams from Netflix. But God and curiosity have a way of nudging us into rooms we never expected. Ultraspeaking wasn’t in my plan. It was one of the clearest breadcrumbs in my life.
🔹 The First Spark
• It began with a book — Ultralearning by Scott Young.
• I wasn’t looking for a new career. I was looking for a way to grow, challenge myself, and learn how to speak without notes.
• The book introduced me to a strange new concept: games that teach you how to think on your feet.
• I followed the breadcrumb… and clicked the link to Ultraspeaking.
🔹 The Student Season
• In 2020, I emailed the founders and signed up to learn.
• Not just one course — every coaching package they offered.
• I practiced relentlessly: on Zoom, in cohorts, in drills, in silence.
• I didn’t know it then, but those early sessions sharpened everything in my life — my preaching, my coaching, my leadership, my confidence.
🔹 An Unexpected Invite
• One day, I got an invitation:
“Would you like to sit in on a coaching session?”
• That one invitation changed everything.
• I began helping behind the scenes, learning the deeper mechanics of anxiety, flow, and spontaneous communication.
🔹 The Call to Step Forward
• I moved into coach training — long before Ultraspeaking was what it is today.
• Soon after, I was officially coaching.
• Then the opportunities began to multiply.
🔹 Hundreds Coached.
• I coached 1:1 clients around the world — CEOs, entrepreneurs, YouTubers, Hollywood musicians, and founders.
• I coached teams at Netflix, ZipRecruiter, Sol de Janeiro, and startups.
• I led cohorts with students from different continents, every background, every level of confidence.
🔹 The Real Work
• I helped people speak without notes.
• I helped people face fear.
• I helped people communicate on stages, in boardrooms, in interviews, and in life.
• And I discovered something powerful:
Courage is contagious — and communication is a form of leadership.
🔹 Where the Breadcrumbs Lead Next
• Ultraspeaking became a training ground that made my preaching sharper, my podcast better, and my coaching deeper.
• It taught me how to think clearly under pressure — and how to help others do the same.
• The breadcrumbs were unmistakable:
From student → to apprentice → to coach → to mentor — each step building the next stage.
✨ Ultraspeaking didn’t just make me a better speaker.
It helped shape me into the communicator, coach, and creator I am today.
