MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING AT PIE
My favorite part about working at PIE is being surrounded by people who believe that great results come from consistent execution. It’s exciting to collaborate with talented colleagues who are passionate about helping clients not only develop new skills but also build the habits and disciplines that lead to lasting success. Knowing that our work helps leaders create meaningful change in their organizations makes every day rewarding.
A PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT I’M PROUD OF
One professional accomplishment I’m especially proud of is creating the Streaking methodology and helping it grow into a platform centered on the power of consistency. What began as a simple idea has led to a published book, opportunities to speak to audiences around the world, more than 400 podcast episodes, and the development of tools that help people build meaningful habits and achieve lasting results. The experience has reinforced my belief that the greatest accomplishments don’t come from isolated moments of inspiration—they come from simple, repeatable actions practiced consistently over time. That philosophy continues to shape how I approach leadership, learning, and helping organizations achieve sustainable success.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Beyond that, I love navigating life with my wife of 35 years and our seven children, dancing in the kitchen for no particular reason, climbing 14,000-foot mountains, belly laughing at a great comedian, and making memories with family and friends. I’ve learned that a full life isn’t built from one extraordinary moment but from thousands of ordinary moments lived with purpose, gratitude, and a little bit of fun.
