More kindness, Less judgement.

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.

What matters is the end result.

NBA Con is a wrap. I had the privilege to co-produce the first-ever NBACONvos Stage alongside Sean Dennis with 50 incredible speakers, including NBA legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Isiah Thomas, rookie sensations Victor Wembanyama & Scoot Henderson, top players, coaches, personalities, entrepreneurs, designers, photographers, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. This inaugural consumer event showcased the global reach of basketball as a sport and its influence on its fans and culture. Congrats & thank you to National Basketball Association (NBA) (Joey Graziano, Steven Lichtenberger & entire org.), Emerald (Jennette Puzzo, Jason Peskin, Ron Walden, Hervé Sedky and staff), Freeman Company, Amazon Music, Victory and our partners. #nbacon #nba #liveevents 

Your personal happiness and self-fulfillment should never be the cost of pleasing others. It's your life; live it authentically. It's easy to lose yourself in the process of accommodating others to the point of self-sacrifice, which, although it may appease others temporarily, ultimately leads to dissatisfaction, loss of self-esteem, and unfulfillment. So, how can we navigate this terrain? 1. Assert Your Boundaries: It's okay to say no. Your time, energy, and mental health are precious. Protect them by setting clear boundaries. 2. Value Self-Awareness: Understand your needs, aspirations, and values. This understanding will guide you in making choices that align with your true self. 3. Cultivate Self-Love: Accept and love yourself with all your strengths and imperfections. The validation of others does not determine your worth. 4. Prioritize Personal Growth: Focus on your growth and development. People will come and go, but your relationship with yourself lasts a lifetime. Be true to yourself, and let your authenticity shine. Because in the end, you are your longest commitment. Don't lose yourself in the quest to keep everyone else around.
