Jacob Frey: The Man, Not the Mayor

Rise To More ·

2025/10/09

When we see public figures, we rarely see the human being. We see a policy, a headline, a viral moment. What we don’t often glimpse is the person—the father fixing his daughter’s tiara, the husband leaning on his wife, the runner who finds peace by railroad tracks after a long day.In my recent Rise to More conversation with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, I set aside politics entirely. I wanted to know the man behind the title.We live in polarized times. Outrage is the easiest currency to spend

Hate Elon Musk?

2025/09/10

We love to watch people rise.We cheer for the underdog, admire their grit, and celebrate their early wins. But the moment they cross into real success—the kind that sets them apart—something shifts. Suddenly, we start picking them apart. We look for cracks, mistakes, scandals. We whisper, “Who do they think they are?”Elon Musk is maybe a tricky example—because let’s face it, the man is as controversial as they come. But here’s the truth: people were tearing him down long before politics, Twitter

Today’s guest on Rise to More completely blew my mind. Dr. Simone Xavier isn't just another entrepreneur—she is one of the most remarkable minds behind one of the world’s biggest makeup brands, Sigma Beauty.When I first heard her story—a veterinarian, infectious disease researcher, and professor who pivoted into beauty—I was fascinated. How does someone go from vaccines and bacterial diagnostics to building a global cosmetic brand?As Simone revealed to me, it began very simply: with curiosity,

The Success Secret No One Talks About

2025/07/15

Recently, I recorded an episode of Rise to More that tackles something I've noticed again and again among incredibly talented, driven people: the unconscious habit of sabotaging their own success.We all know someone (maybe even ourselves) who wants so badly to succeed that every interaction becomes transactional. It becomes all about "me": my job, my promotion, my next opportunity. They reach out only when they want something. The doors they're banging on somehow stay locked.Here's the truth, my

Stop letting politics steal your energy

Americans are more involved in global politics than ever. They’re picking sides in international conflicts, debating foreign policies, and staking a moral ground on issues they barely understand. And here’s the hard truth: Most of them have never studied these regions, these cultures, these religions. Many have never even left the United States. But suddenly, because of a 30-second TikTok clip or a viral headline, they feel qualified to take a stance. To tell the world what’s right and what’s wrong
