I’m counting down the days until I step onto the TEDx stage in Omaha at Creighton University’s Hixson-Lied Auditorium. This talk has been a journey in itself, taking me back through childhood memories of all the performances and wild adventures that brought me to where I am today. From BMX biking to archery, skateboarding, and a little bit of just about everything else, my life has been a series of challenges, falls, and moments of focus—each one shaping me in ways I can’t wait to share.

In this presentation, I’ll talk about how these moments of trial and repetition led me to a place of focus, and eventually, flow. It’s a cycle I’ve repeated throughout my life: embracing the failures, learning the patience to get up and try again, and finally finding that moment of focus that leads to something magical. For me, the real fulfillment isn’t in performing the final trick or skill; it’s in seeing the progress, feeling that sense of flow, and knowing that each small step is part of a larger journey.

As I rehearse, it’s amazing to look back and see how far these practices have brought me, and I’m excited to share that perspective with everyone at TEDx. It’s not just about magic, juggling, or even speaking—it’s about finding that sense of fulfillment in every small victory along the way.

Of course, I’m also getting ready for the holiday season, booking my magic and speaking show across the Midwest. Whether in Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines, or beyond, I’m thrilled to bring these performances to holiday parties, corporate events, and family gatherings. If you’re looking for a unique, interactive experience for your event, let’s connect—I’d love to bring a little magic and inspiration to your audience.

So, mark your calendars for November 21st and join us at Creighton University’s Hixson-Lied Auditorium. I can’t wait to share this journey with you all and connect with some incredible speakers from the Nebraska area. Thank you for your support, and here’s to finding focus, flow, and fulfillment in everything we do!
