On Friday I speak in California. And the organization I’m speaking for didn’t just book a keynote. They ordered 400 copies of the book my brother and I wrote. Excited for the opportunity to inspire and equip. The Mission Continues. #MissionDriven #Leadership

Heading to California next week. I’m bringing the same mission I had in 2019—just sharper, stronger, and more grateful than ever. #MissionDriven #Leadership #PublicSpeaking #LeadershipMatters.

That’s what happens when you speak with purpose—even when no one’s clapping.

In 2019, I gave a talk—no big stage, no viral moment. Just me, a mic, and a mission.

Whether you loved him or hated him, wrestling wouldn’t be what it is today without Hulk Hogan. Rest easy, brother. Forever a legend. #RIPHulkHogan

Grateful to have partnered with @GISD4EBs to empower educators who serve our Emergent Bilingual students. As a first-generation American who started school not knowing a word of English, I know firsthand the power of a teacher who sees beyond your dirt and into your destiny.

From Coney Island to Yankee Stadium to Little Italy in the Bronx—NYC reminded me: life’s short. Don’t waste it. Live it. #MissionDriven #NYC

Sometimes what feels like rejection is really God’s protection. I don’t always know what’s best for me, but He does. Thankful for the covering I didn’t know I needed. #MissionDriven #Gratitude #FaithOverFear #TrustTheProcess

Gratitude magnifies everything, even in seasons that feel uncertain. I’m grateful for my daughter, who reminds me daily why purpose, presence, & love matter most. The more we give thanks, the more beauty we see—even in the mess. Have a blessed Sunday. #MissionDriven #GirlDad

I haven’t succeeded on my own. Success has come because there have been people who believed in me, encouraged me, and showed me how to keep going when I wanted to quit. Do you have someone who helps you persist?. And who are you helping push forward?. #MissionDriven #Leadership

The real question isn’t if we struggle. It’s how we persist. #MissionDriven #Leadership #Persistence

Truly grateful for this recommendation. It’s an honor to support leaders like you who are committed to making a difference for students. This work is never about one person. It’s about all of us moving the mission forward. #MissionDriven.
I've worked with many talented educators who are authors, national speakers and who do a great job of delivering PD to the schools I have led. As you plan & allocate your Title 1 funds, I will recommend educators who have helped me & my vision. I recommend @ac_cristales to speak
