I remember it like it was yesterday—May 6, 1989—I was about to prepare to perform stand-up comedy for the very first time.  It has been a dream of mine since I was a young boy to stand onstage and make people laugh, and on this night, that dream would commence. Little did I know it would take me on a journey that I could have never imagined. I would co-found an improvisational comedy show called Four Day Weekend that would become an unlikely hit, selling out shows all over the country, performing for two U.S. presidents, delivering a “Yes, And” keynote […]

Listen on Spotify! Everyone has those chapters in their life that are challenging.  Things seem to be rolling along and the next thing we know a speed bump appears and forces us to slow down and reevaluate our life.  2023 was that year for Adi and me.  Three weeks into the start of the year, my mother passed away at the age of 85.  She lived a good life and by her own admission was ready to pass on to the other side.  She told me the world was just moving too fast for her and she was ready to

Listen on Spotify Many years ago, I was in a slump.  I reached a point in my life where my creativity had stalled and although my career was rolling along nicely, I hadn’t really taken my potential to the next level.  I knew I had to change the way I was thinking and my approach to life.  Since my background was in improvisation which is based on the idea of saying “yes” to life, I decided I would embark on a year-long journey of saying “yes” to as many things as I could and see what transpired. I began this

Listen on Spotify Spring is in the air in Texas and with this turning of the season Clark Gardens in Mineral Wells, Texas has opened for business once again.  For those that have never heard of Clark Gardens, I was not unlike you until roughly five years ago.  A friend casually asked Adi and me, “Have you guys ever been to Clark Gardens?’ “I’ve never heard of it,” I responded. “Oh, you’ve got to go,” my friend implored us.  “Whenever I feel like escaping the hustle and bustle of the world, I drive out to Mineral Wells and escape into
