So many things inspire me to write. People, people watching, books, tv and documentaries. Watching other peoples stories and learning from them.

Im currently working on a few talks being released this fall, a few articles and playing with some ideas I have for a follow up to Crash and Rise.

If Im dealing with writers block the best and easiest part of that is to step away and come back or move myself to a new location that inspires me.

Jules Verne's 20,000 leagues under the sea first comes to mind but C.S. Lewis' series The Chronicles of Narnia is a close second. A great place for adventures.

Dedicate time each day to write. Treat it like a job and make sure you show up - everyday! Also, ask for help. Everyone needs different kinds of help and there is a lot of great support out there.

I got the idea to write Crash and RISE shortly I delivered a speech that went viral. It was incredibly fulfilling to share my story but I knew there was so much more than just what I was able to share in those six minutes. I felt my story could reach and help many more people if I were to write about it.
