Know Where You Intend To Be
Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen! “You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”– Michael Jordan In 2011, I first heard the story of Bruce Lee’s 1969 mission/vision statement – a short note to himself, written almost as a contract. “My Definite Chief Aim.” The note was written when he was 28 […]

Growth and Maturation
Good Monday morning! One thing I sincerely enjoy about sending out this email each day is that I rarely know who is going to be affected by it. It goes out to athletes and non athletes. It goes out to parents of college students and parents of toddlers. It goes out to high school students […]
Music Monday: Eyes Open
Sol (Sol Moravia-Rosenberg) is a hip-hop artist based out of Seattle, Washington. His understated lyrics, exuberant performances, and diverse instrumentation have solidified him among the leaders of the northwest music scene. Last year, he released his first independent album, Yours Truly, which quickly rose to #1 on the iTunes US Hip-Hop Chart. Sol then decided to leave the United States on a ten month globe-trotting hiatus as part of the Bonderman Honors Travel Fellowship he was awarded at the University of Washington. Ten months and ten countries later, Sol returned to the United States, evolved and inspired. Now equipped with a world of perspective, Sol is ready to share his newest project, Eyes Open. If you haven’t caught wind of Sol’s music, you’re in for a treat.
