Dear Monday
Dear Monday is a podcast about the decisions that change the shape of your life. Most people talk about opportunity in terms of upside — growth, freedom, financial potential. But far fewer conversations sit with what lives underneath those decisions: the obligations, the constraints, the commitments that are difficult to unwind once they're made.
This show exists in that space.
Each episode explores the realities behind ownership — business ownership, franchise investment, career exits, and other high-stakes commitments that reshape financial and personal life.
I spent years inside franchise ownership and deal advisory — walking prospective owners through the discovery process and watching how the industry was designed to move people toward decisions, not through them. Dear Monday is what I built for the moment in between.
The conversations are reflective, structured, and grounded in one principle: Clarity before commitment.
Rather than motivation or hype, Dear Monday offers disciplined thinking about risk, responsibility, and the long arc of a decision. The kind of thinking that belongs in the room before a contract is signed.
Because once it is — the real work begins.

Oh, hello there! We're kicking off Season 2 with a message that you've been needing to hear:
Start Here! Start Now! Start with what you have in your hands. Start with the knowledge you have, and the wisdom that's on the way. Start with a vision that will change the trajectory of your life...and spill over into the lives of others.
No matter how uncertain, afraid, or frustrated you may feel right now, START HERE.
Today, I'm sharing the microphone with a very special guest, Staci Janisse! She's a child of God, wife, mother, transformational life coach, and general manager of Tabitha Brown's Kale My Name LA. But Staci's story is not defined by any of those amazing roles. It is earmarked by a God who called her out of despair and gave her life new meaning.
Staci and I are talking about the courage it takes to start something new or (for some of us) to start over. Tune in to hear how God hijacked our conversation and gave us both a reason to say My God!!
