I've been called an "uncommonly honest author" by the Boston Globe, which made me proud, and a "marketing guru" by The Wall Street Journal, which is kinda cool, I guess. But seeing that I can't stand the guru-izing of self and business help authors, kind of embarrassing at the same time.

Day to day, I run an inspiring, collaborative, and results-oriented online business coaching school for small business success at BookedSolidUniversity.com.


I've been called an "uncommonly honest author" by the Boston Globe, which made me proud, and a "marketing guru" by The Wall Street Journal, which is kinda cool, I guess. But seeing that I can't stand the guru-izing of self and business help authors, kind of embarrassing at the same time.


I've written 4 bestselling books including Book Yourself Solid, Beyond Booked Solid, The Contrarian Effect, and The New York Times Bestseller, The Think Big Manifesto. I appear regularly on MSNBC and CNBC and work hard to receive the highest overall speaker ratings at conferences around the world.


I didn't start out as a author, speaker, and entrepreneur. Instead, I began as an actor. No kidding. You might even have been able to pick me out of a crowd from my starring and supporting roles in TV and film projects like Sex and the City, Third Watch, All My Children, The Pelican Brief, Down to Earth, The Believer, and more.


I blend my yoga teaching past with my martial art present—holding the rank of black belt in Aikido and blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. But my most significant responsibility is probably just like yours, the job of being a devoted parent, son, friend, and citizen.


My mission to rally big thinkers—prospective, potential, wildly in-motion, and particularly bashful up-and-comers is officially in motion. I stand at the forefront of a movement of people that are starting personal, professional, societal and spiritual revolutions. Want to join me?
