I thought I knew what the next couple of months were going to look like... It has been a wild ride the past few years. Both professionally and personally. I was fully prepared to put some professional ambitions on the back burner to focus more on the personal ambitions that I have been neglecting lately. BUT.... this event on Wednesday has me intrigued to learn how I may be able to keep my entrepreneurial fire burning bright while still providing my family and myself with proper attention! Who is going to join me for this timely message as we head into a reflective season to prepare for an impactful reset? #chca #businessowners #personalgrowth

🔥Columbus, Ohio for golf?🔥 Columbus, Ohio, often celebrated for its strategic business location and vibrant lifestyle, is also swinging its way to becoming a premier golf haven. With a twist of character and a dash of statistics, let’s tee off into what makes Columbus a standout city. At the heart of it all, Columbus is about progression— and nowhere is this more evident than in its embrace of golf. With over 70 meticulously designed golf courses dotted throughout its metro area—home to a bustling population projected to grow by 5% over the next decade—Columbus offers lush greens for every golfer from novice to pro. The city's love affair with golf doesn't end on the fairway. Annually, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, sprawling over 1.8 million square feet of prime downtown real estate, transforms into a golfer’s paradise. It hosts multiple high-profile golf expos and tournaments that attract thousands, showcasing the latest in sports technology and gear. This venue isn't just large; it's one of the most actively booked centers in the nation, with over 350 events a year, including a growing roster of major golfing events. Imagine this: You land in Columbus for a conference. You’re a mere 20-minute drive from joining a local golf tournament or enjoying a leisurely round with potential clients and business partners. Here, business and pleasure not only meet—they converge on the green. After the 18th hole, the city’s safe, pedestrian-friendly streets invite you to explore. Whether it’s dining at a chef-owned restaurant or catching a live show downtown, there’s plenty to do just a short walk from the convention center. And let’s talk about the local vibe—Columbus’s golf scene is teeming with character. From historic public courses that tell tales of past legends to private clubs that offer the luxe exclusivity of modern golfing, every corner of this city speaks to a rich, vibrant culture that's as diverse as its landscape. With Columbus set to expand its convention center to accommodate more sporting events, the future looks bright. The city is positioning itself not just as a hub for business but as a cornerstone for golf tourism and events, promising even more reasons to visit, stay, and play. So, whether you’re eyeing a permanent spot in our community or just swinging by, Columbus’s doors—and greens—are wide open. Come for the golf, stay for the spirit, and let Columbus be your home course away from home! P.s. I am not affiliated with the convention center. I just genuinely wish more golf business and events were here.

Tango Charities - #FeedTheCity is one of our favorite organizations to serve with! The event is seamlessly cooridanted by passionate community volunteers like you and me, and you can get involved super easy at the link below in an event/packing group near you. My favorite story of #impact was one of my first packing sessions. I remember the host of the event telling a story of a young kid in south Dallas. Incredibly smart, a scholarship shoe-in easy, only, he would intentionally fail HIS FAVORITE CLASS (math/algebra) each year, so that he could attend summer school for the (continued) free lunches... only he picked Math so he would at least enjoy school year round. 20%, or 1 in 5 Texas children experiences hunger. I don't know about you but as a native Texan, this is unacceptable to me. Hunger deprives kids of more than just food. According to Feeding America and many other organizations in the space of solving #foodinsecurities like #TangoCharities and Feed My Starving Children; kids who don’t get enough to eat — begin life at a serious disadvantage. FOOD IS THE FOUNDATION. For a healthy economy we need healthy minds, For healthy minds we need healthy foundations of food security.

Does your church conference, retreat, or special event need a speaker? 😍 I speak about joyful living despite the circumstances at association conferences and companies, and I hope to do this for a long time. But, did you know the message comes full circle at my Messy Joy Church Conferences? And that I’d love to bring one to your church? 💜 This topic may surprise you on LinkedIn, and if we have different views, let’s love each other anyway. While I don’t hope to ruffle any feathers, I am posting this here because churches are businesses, too. Here’s a glimpse of what my church conferences look like: https://lnkd.in/gvgrbbKW This sold-out conference took place at Brooklyn Presbyterian Church. The tech may have taken a nosedive just before we started, but the joy of the Lord was our strength and we asked Him to hijack the day. We rolled out a good old TV and had a ball giving Him the glory and unpacking joy through faith, with James 1: 2-4 as our guiding scripture. The length of these conferences can be customized for your community’s needs, but on this day, we had 5 hours together to learn, laugh, pray, eat, and connect. Everyone walked out with a copy of my bestselling book, Messy Joy… and they left believing they deserve joy in their own lives, eager to give it away. If you’d like to learn about bringing a Messy Joy Church Conference to your town, let’s talk. You can help by sharing this post! #messyjoy #churchevents #professionalspeaker
