The Christmas Song, by Alvin & The Chipmunks, is a classic.

For 3 decades now I have sung this song in every performance, regardless of the time of year, I just love it that much.

In fact, 25 years ago, I was slated to do a 15 minute set at my first corporate holiday part, but due to the way the night went, the client told me to just sing this song and they would still pay me $100.

I thought, "Wow, $100 for one song? That's like $100 a minute! I should make a living doing this!"

It was the song with which I auditioned for the high school choir as my teacher, Mrs. Hall, said it was "not normal" that I could actually do it, and thus began her mentorship to helping me perform throughout my life.

Merry Christmas to one and all, thank you to the many businesses that have brought me in through the years and had a good laugh over this very simple and silly bit. It has been fun to share with so many delighted audiences, large and intimate, and hopeful for many more to come.

Have you ever asked AI to create a custom song describing your Christmas party performance?

My man, Nick Sales, who shot this at a very intimate private event last weekend in SLC, just sent this to me. Hilarious! The words are amazing. It feels like an 80's TV show theme song. Love it. 😂

Oh, AI music creator, we have such a bright future together. 💯

When was the last time you invited a Speaker peer to come and watch you on stage, in order to have them offer feedback and improve?

How about this one: Joining the other speakers for the pre-event call? I had never done a pre-event call with another speaker I shared the program with, until I was on the client call with fellow entertaining speaker, Brad Barton.

He asked questions regarding the type of feeling and outcome the client wanted from his presentation. I had never framed it this way before, having done decades of calls before an event, usually the planner suggested what they wanted and that was that. Brad expanded my mind, relationship with my clients, and helped improve my performance before the event even started!

What are some of the best questions you ask before the event to ensure you keep The Promise to your audience?

Special thanks to Brad Barton for his longtime mentorship and friendship.

"What you just did on stage shows me that you have a level of confidence I can't quite fathom. How do you share those things in front of people and seemingly not care what they think?"

This was the question posed by a 23-year old audience member after a recent event, and I was happy to try and offer my best answer:
We all have our gifts, these are mine, it is my responsibility and privilege to share them.

He wasn't satisfied with this answer, but that was the tall and short of it.
I made a Promise a long time ago to use what I can do with my face, voice, and imagination to teach, make others laugh, think, and even feel challenged in their own willingness to hide or express their talents. It is Show & Tell.

I have failed in this effort much more than I have succeeded. Yet while most just sit and watch, wondering how people have the confidence to put their work on display, the few who actually go in the arena and face an audience of critics win the greatest reward.

The Artist creates what he feels is his art that cannot remain hidden, and the audience will appear. I have been fortunate enough to have the right audience members become my advocates, and then bring me into their most important events to teach and share my art in this most unique, performative way.

Need more confidence? Fail frequently until you succeed, and you will find much more success by keeping that Promise than if you had never dared to try.

My career in showbiz launched when Las Vegas Legends in Concert Founder, Johnny Stuart, took a chance on me, bringing me on as his Ricky Martin impersonator in the summer of 2001, and later as Elton John.

We met due to my Dad’s dear friend Culley Davis’ introduction, pictured here with Johnny and I.

Johnny had performed at Knotts Berry Farm with Steve Martin when they were beginning their careers as a great comedy and music act, and then founded the longest running show of its kind in Vegas history, impersonators everywhere wanted to work in his shows, as an icon of showbiz.

I’m thankful for Johnny as he pushed me hard to be great, never settle for less than the best performances I could deliver, and always live the Promise.

We shared the same faith and I’ll always be grateful for his belief in me despite no proven track record prior that I could handle such a stage.

Rest in peace brother. God bless your family.

Do you remember Macy Gray? This one was requested recently by a friend who recalled my impression from over a decade ago, so I did it at the show they attended and may have to be a mainstay. We'll see! What do you think and who else should I either bring back or add to the mix?

Day and night, all I hear from his room are the sounds of a young man who has discovered his love of music, figuring out the guitar by himself.

As a dad who plays instruments, I have never pushed it on him to learn, he just picked it up himself one day when began plucking away at my old acoustic.

Recently we went to the guitar shop to pick out the instrument of his dreams, and found this used Les Paul. He gravitates to the legendary stuff, has good taste.

For his birthday, it was the only gift he wanted (a little amp, too), and now I can hear the strumming, mistakes, and eventual success of chord progressions and music fulfillment daily as he figures out runs I could never grasp. I'm proud of him.

The Promise of the Parent is to give your child the tools to embrace a passion and get out of their way. The masterpiece is in the journey. Play on, my boy.

When is the last time you measured your VO2 max?

If I told you that you could nearly instantly adjust your VO2 max to push even harder, faster, longer in your workouts, would that be an advantage to your goals, or would you just think I'm making an empty promise?

As winter hits I am grateful for the hikes and mountain summits accomplished during the past year, and gearing up now for the snowy adventures and peaks that await. Without the nutrients I gift my body I never could have made it this past year, nor big plans for this winter.

If you work out every day, inside or out, then you know what your body needs, craves, and have your protocol to flood your system with natural nutrients for maximum performance.

This simple drink I'm holding in the photo has science backed verification that proves you will increase your VO2 whether you do OrangeTheory, Pelaton, Ironman races, training for the Olympics, or the brave weekend warrior. Super athletes see immediate results and are thrilled by it.

I invite you to privately message me if you want this kind of shift in your VO2 max.

After 2 months on the road with Megyn Kelly everyone is asking what she's like as a person.

Here's my response, and how she redeemed my career after I was fully cancelled following the Tucker Carlson Tour in 2024, which made my getting work in the corporate market (where I've made a living for 25 years) nearly impossible in 2025 due to potential clients being too scared to book me since I was on stage with Trump & Tucker...

Many thanks to Megyn for the opportunity and for bringing me along. Although I never got to tell her the full story, she certainly changed my life with this string of events, and I'm her biggest fan for it.

Huge thanks to Paul Leslie for having me on his great show.

"You're ugly" was a tough thing to hear my entire youth. And then, as an adult, I was impersonating the sexiest man alive as Ricky Martin. This is a baffling shift in how one sees the person in the mirror.

What would I have told myself if I could talk to younger me?

It comes down to this: we must always know and acknowledge the most important thing in the beginning and the end -

We are all a Child of God.

That's all the matters.

Thank you to the amazing Jason Tharp for a great conversation and question.

My impression of a CEO talking about Goals for the coming year is oftentimes the favorite and funniest part of my speech, according to the CEOs who see it.

They fully understand the pain of familiarity with which I make fun of the challenging process of inspiring those we lead to reach our goals.

Goals are important in the process, and they should be something we reach for. Whereas Promises are the sacred goals, the non-negotiables, that we will keep no matter what.

Goals are what we do, Promises are what we become.

As you make and keep The Right Promises (only select a few!) my best wishes to you as you plan with your teams for the Promises of the New Year ahead, and setting all the Goals necessary to keep The Promise.

Special thanks to the many organizations who are leaning into The Promise Process, investing and inspiring workplace teams while bringing me in as your trusted leadership speaker in 2026.
