Hi Reader,
An opera star taught me how to public speak.
I arrived early to the first evening class. But once inside the classroom, I saw that there was no instructor, or notes on the blackboard. Weird.
Besides a few sniffles and some butt-shifting in chairs, the seconds ticking on the clock were the only sounds in the classroom.
The start time came and went.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. I was wondering if this was a mistake. What kind of instructor is late for the first class? Not a good one.
Boom! The whole class jumped as a voice reverberated from the back of the room:
“Pay attention. Your life’s about to change!”
Chairs screeched and spines twisted as everyone looked at the back of the room to see who had spoken but no one was there.
We re-oriented ourselves to the front and exchanged glances of “Who the hell was that?
And suddenly there she was.
Our instructor opera star floated through the front door with arms wide soaking in our stares and a smile that could be seen from the back of the Sydney Opera House
“This is how you command attention in a room. If you don’t have everyone’s attention you’re doing it wrong. Let’s begin.” she declared.
That entrance. That confidence. That comfort with all the attention.
You and I are never singing the contralto in the Marriage of Figaro but as entrepreneurs earning money on the Internet, we do need to learn how to demand attention.
Sure, we're not standing on stage but think of it this way:
🤍 Your newsletter is your classroom.
🤍 Your launch emails are your stage.
🤍 Your YouTube channel is your opera house.
Can we all agree to put more opera singer, look-at-me energy in everything we do?
Less slouching, moping, and hiding.
More poise, boldness, and conviction.
Less Eeyore. More Luciano Pavarotti.
If you are confident, you're audience will be confident to buy.
Arms wide. Big smile. Ooze confidence and take the stage.

Maybe the thing you’ve spent your life trying to hide is exactly the thing you’re designed to become. In this newsletter, I’ll share what it looks like to use Human Design to build a business from the inside out—teaching Human Design principles, telling the real stories, and showing how they can shape your decisions, offers, marketing, and growth.
Hello Reader,🫠 Yesterday I spent three hours making one Instagram post. Giving myself a little credit, it was an eight-page carousel. But still. THREE HOURS? For the love of God, what is wrong with me? In the last couple of weeks I've wrote, recorded, edited and published eleven podcast episodes. I sit down, grab the ballerina pink headphones, turn on the big mic, start talking, and somehow an episode comes out the other side. Editing? Ten minutes tops.Show notes? Roughly five minutes. Post...
Hello Reader,Well, this got out of hand quickly. A little while ago, I started learning about Human Design. Then I started experimenting with it in my own life. Then I thought, I should make a podcast about this. And apparently that was a very big yes, because now I cannot stop making episodes. I love researching them. I love figuring out how to explain something that initially sounds wildly complicated in a way that actually makes sense. I love coming up with stories and silly analogies. I...
Hey Reader, Six-figures. The sought-after revenue goal with two commas and five plump, confident-building zeros. I'm working on some material around changes you need to make to earn six figures (which will be showing up in your inbox soon), and it occurred to me that many of you may have already made six figures."Whaaat?"I know!That's why I had to send this sooner than later. When you hear "make six figures," my guess is that you think of making one hundred thousand in a one-year period, as...
