    I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work.

    I had a weird, empty feeling inside me. Not a bad sort of empty. It was a sort of lack of sensation, like being in pain for a long time and then suddenly realizing that you're not anymore.

Being a picture and then finding I was really a puzzle piece, once I found the piece that was supposed to fit beside me.

That's my calling.

    I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive. People love to read stories. They like to know you as a real person who has your struggle, pain, success and failure, etc. One well-known example is Jared Fogle's weight loss story which made millions of dollars for Subway. Start to collect your stories from today and use them in your ad campaigns.
