Big Lessons, Big Opportunities & Maybe Rwanda?!

Hey friends,

Didn’t get this out yesterday—spent the evening at the park with my daughter and handling bedtime duty. Took her to school this morning, grabbed some coffee, and hit the ground running. Hope you’re off to a strong start too!

Chicago Recap ✈️

Last week, I was in Chicago for a quick work trip, meeting with Northwestern Health System. No deep-dish pizza was consumed (self-control was tested).

Personal Branding Workshop 🧠

I also got an invite to a private workshop with Chris Do—the guru of personal branding. Here are some game-changing takeaways:
✅ The best personal brands master self-acceptance, confidence & vulnerability.
✅ Branding = long-term impact. Performance marketing = short-term cash.
✅ Be YOU. Meaningful differentiation makes brands unforgettable.
✅ Authenticity > perfection. People connect with real, not flashy.
✅ The 9-1-1 Rule for Content: 9 value posts, 1 personal story, 1 sell.

Chris Do is the real deal. The biggest lesson? Stop trying to be big, polished, and perfect—just show up and be real.

Padel & Pickleball Updates 🎾

The padel account is picking up steam! Having fun creating over there too.

And—this one’s wild—I got invited by Rwanda to help grow pickleball there. Humbled by the opportunity and excited to see if it makes sense to serve in that way. Stay tuned.

What’s Coming This Week 🎬

This week, I’m cranking out a new YouTube episode and a fresh batch of pickle & padel reels. The content train keeps rolling!

Got thoughts on any of this? Hit reply—I always love hearing from you.

Keep pushing forward,
Bryant
