If you’ve been sitting on something, waiting for the right moment—this is it.
This episode is about power moves—the ones that shift how you work and protect how you move through the rest of the year. The kind of moves that free up your calendar, position your next campaign, and make space for what you’ve already said you’re building.
I’m not offering a checklist or a pep talk. I’m walking you through the structure I use with my own clients—including how we’re preparing right now for Q4 across events, campaigns, culinary partnerships, and community programming.
Here’s what you’ll take from this episode:
The 4 power moves every community-rooted leader needs to make before August
How to recognize the moment when it’s time to move—without second guessing
What staying ready actually looks like when you're running a business embedded in people, deadlines, and places
Why your next move isn’t about speed—it’s about space
“Staying ready means building ahead of demand. It means making space before the pressure hits. It means getting clear now so that when the door opens, you’re not caught holding too much to walk through it.”
If you’re preparing something for the fall—an event, a program, or something bigger than a social post—Immersion is open now. And if you’re a chef, a musician, or someone who curates culture through movement and flavor, the Rhythm & Taste™ waitlist is open too.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
