This is a note

of appreciation for YOU.

Every week, my team and I discuss

what story, photo, video or insight

might be of value to share.

The process takes time.

We bounce ideas around.

We look at what’s happened…and what’s ahead

…brainstorm angles and subject lines

…comb through photos and footage.

I write multiple drafts; and go through multiple edits.

In this way, the weekly post

has become a labor of love.

But it only exists because of you.

Our avid readership and the many

messages I receive in response

make me thankful for you.

So here on this U.S. holiday,

I’m sending my appreciation your way.

Risk Forward & Rock On,

P.S. For those of you who haven’t seen the 2018 Thanksgiving adventure and are ready for a whopper tale that includes my getting kicked out of a consulate, meeting two men behind McDonald’s, and finding myself unexpectedly en route to Uruguay, this is by far my wildest travel adventure to get to a Rock The Room® keynote for 3,000 people over the holiday weekend. The video above is “The Story of Brazil”.
