On Tuesday, September 14, 2021 I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing one of my living inspirations, Tennis Champion, Venus Williams at the DUMBO House in Brooklyn, New York. I was in attendance covering the launch of her vegan plant protein wellness beverage, Happy Viking. It was a pinch me moment.

Beyond her celebrity, I admire Venus in many ways not visible. When I resource my “three brains,” the following feelings and thoughts bubble to the surface.

Every Monday morning at 10 AM EST I will post a powerful prompt which can also be synced to your smartphone calendar here and follow it wherever it leads.
