Dear Reader ~ Since the beginning of 2017 I have written blogs consistently on the JHE Training web site for those who have invested in themselves to improve from the stage through my in-person and online course. Thank you for following my journey and supporting my efforts as The Entertainer, while transitioning to speaking, and now as an author. I hope these behind the scenes writings, thoughts, ideas and philosophies have inspired you to consider your own path and helped redefine your direction. My team and family have concluded that my direction has to have more focused efforts in specific

The Snow Shoveling Factor

The Snow Shoveling Factor

January 25, 2019

This week we had a holiday and it was supposed to be a great day. I had plans with the family, a scheduled workout with a friend, a list a mile high in the office, and woke up early just to ensure it all got done. And then I looked outside. Snow was not just falling lightly and delightfully, but rather something out of a nightmarish movie.  Sideways, upways, swirling the dervish beyond any weatherman’s vocabulary could describe. My cars were so buried in the driveway I knew what had to be done in order for the day to continue

Video is King

Video is King

March 28, 2018

My last Promo Video made for Entertainment Show in 2015   When I began my career nearly 20 years ago, it was rare for anyone to have a promo video. I recall throwing down $1,500 for my first video and that initial cost almost took my business under.  And yet it landed me more events than anything else. Since the ROI was so great I went really big and spent upwards of $7,500 and then $11,000 on promotional videos all before 2005. VHS tapes lined my garage, mailings and packages streaming from my office to the point the Post Office

How To Keep Your Voice During Flu Season

How To Keep Your Voice During Flu Season

January 15, 2018

  Over the past 2 months I have seen more messages on Facebook of my fellow Speakers, Singers, Trainers, Coaches, and friends begging for help, solutions, and concoctions to save their voice during this season of sickness. I haven’t been sick enough to miss a performance ever in my 18 year career.  That doesn’t mean I didn’t do all it took to get through certain gig, but I haven’t had a real lost my voice from sickness in years.   DISCLAIMER: I’m not a Doctor.  I never even went to college.  So consult a physician before you say I told

What’s Your Spiral Jetty?

What’s Your Spiral Jetty?

December 13, 2017

  If you prefer to watch the video to reading below check it out here.  We recommend both.   Robert Smithson was 32 years old in 1970 when he created his masterpiece, Spiral Jetty, at the north end of the Great Salt Lake, near Historic Golden Spike National Park in Promontory, Utah. His artwork still garners attention to this day, more visitors making the trip than ever.  Who would have thought this odd creation would stand the test of time?  Luckily for Smithson’s legacy he took the risk of making the art as early as possible in his life, as

The Promise to Deliver Greatness

The Promise to Deliver Greatness

May 8, 2017

  In the past 15 days I have done 15 events. VIDEO HERE That’s a lot to put yourself through when not every event is in the same city, state, or company. Add to it that I took Sundays off, and had other days without a gig, and you realize I was doubling down a few times. I’d speak at 8 AM, catch a flight at 11 AM, speak that night in a different state. That’s a fair amount of work. But let’s be honest, is what I do really work? To be fair, compared to most people, I have

Q&A: What Do I Do When No One Is Watching My Show?

Q&A: What Do I Do When No One Is Watching My Show?

April 25, 2017

  We’ve all had that one event – where everything goes wrong, no one is watching, and we want to throw our hands up and leave – yet know we must honor the contract and finish the gig. This question came to me through Facebook from a very successful performer who is always looking to see the bright side, and asked my response: A majority of my responses here will fall within the “Preparation of the Event” category, as well as a few ideas to troubleshoot even when the Prep was handled flawlessly. Prep Call with Client – Upon receiving
