#47-The Original Yes: What If You Say Yes Like a Kid?

Ever wondered how The Say Yes Experience really got started?

It wasn’t a business plan or a brand strategy—it was a gut-punch moment with a 9-year-old who saw something I didn’t. It started with one idea–say yes like a kid.

In this special behind-the-scenes episode, I’m joined by the original spark—the heart of this whole thing—my son, Blaise. We’re turning the mic over to him.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Where the idea for The Say Yes Experience actually came from –say yes like a kid

✔️ Why it mattered to him to see me happy and lit up again

✔️ What he’s learned by stepping into the unknown and saying yes—even when he was scared

✔️ The things he didn’t want to do… but did anyway

✔️ And what it’s like to watch me do big, wild, uncomfortable things right alongside him

You’ll hear moments that are raw, funny, honest, and deeply wise—from someone who reminds me (and maybe will remind you) that sometimes kids carry the clearest mirror to our truth. This isn’t just an origin story—it’s a blueprint for rediscovering courage, joy, and what it means to be fully alive again.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected from your spark, or like you’re going through the motions…

f you’ve ever looked at your life and thought there’s gotta be more than this…

This episode is your nudge. Your truth. Your next yes.
