If you got an email from me today about an RFP from my business account...IT IS SPAM. Please do not click on anything or give them your email address. I'm so sorry. Obviously I fell for it too when it was sent to me.

If you did type in your email, please reset your passwords. Again, I'm so sorry.

Did you know I’ve spent the last year working with Emmy Award-winning filmmakers to fine tune my storytelling skills? I’ve been able to learn from some of the most creative and heart-led mentors on the planet. When you ask me now to tell your story, you know I’ve been learning from some of the best in the business. My perspective plus a proven storytelling system = real results.

Happy Labor Day. 🛠️ Today we're thinking about the nonprofit workers who don't get a day off — the shelter staff, the crisis counselors, the case managers, the outreach workers showing up in every weather because the people they serve don't get a day off either. This holiday exists because people fought for dignity at work. That fight isn't over. Nonprofits are on the front lines of it every single day. Rest today if you can. You've earned it.

Today is the International Day of Charity. We marked it the way we know how — behind a camera, with a nonprofit whose work quietly changes lives in ways that never make the news. There's something about being in the room where the real work happens. No press release. No gala. Just a person doing a hard thing because they believe it matters. That's the story we're always chasing.

We're heading into fall — which for nonprofits means gala season, year-end campaigns, and board meetings about Q4. Here's my question for you: Is your story ready? Not your case for support. Not your impact report. Your story — the one that makes someone pull out their phone and donate before they've finished watching. If the answer is no, September is the time to build it. What's standing in your way?

I am honored to announce that my film, Seeds of Hope, has received Best Short Film at this year's Red Letter Awards. This is the second best short film this film has received. I'm honored to be recognized and thankful to Christine for trusting me to tell her story. She is an incredible woman and I hope you will go watch the film on YouTube. The Red Letter Awards is an annual award show that celebrates and promotes faith-based entertainment, arts, and community service.

One question that changes every nonprofit film we make: "What do you want your donors to do differently after watching this — not feel, but DO?" Feeling moved is a starting point. Action is the destination. The answer to that question shapes everything: what story we tell, whose voice we center, what we leave in the edit, and what we leave out. If you can answer it clearly before production begins, you'll end up with a film that actually works.

To the nonprofit worker who's been running on empty: You don't have to be okay right now. The work is heavy. The need is relentless. The funding is never enough. And you show up anyway. That's not a character flaw — that's vocation. But vocation doesn't mean self-erasure. You matter in this work not just as a role, but as a person. Rest when you can. Ask for help when you need it. Your sustainability is part of the mission. Drop a 💙 for someone you know who needs to hear this today.
