Blue Collar Executive
Achieve your destiny and be successful at any level by staying rooted in a strong work ethic, determination, and integrity. My Mom and Dad were factory workers and generations before them were farmers or coal miners. My path took me in a business direction, but it was still the work ethics and values of my blue collar roots that helped me reach top executive levels. My Dad was a man of few words, but as I navigated through my career I could always find the answers I needed in the subtle things he said or did. I believe these nuggets can help anyone achieve any level of success they desire and I want to share them. I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing. So I am going to share them in this weekly podcast in hopes someone finds them valuable or at least entertaining. It doesn't matter what color your collar is. We all have gifts and a purpose. None more important than the other. The important thing is that we all reach our full potential and be the best we can be.

An Eye For A Tooth
While the mask has taken away our ability to share a smile in passing, we can still allow our joy to shine through the windows of our soul. Our eyes light our way and can never be deceiving.
A face can be carved into stone with any facial expression such as a smile, anger, or sadness, but only the eyes can emit our true inner feelings, emotions, and character.
We can fake a smile, but the eyes are not made of one way glass and can never lie.
