This week’s message is very special. Why? This is the first message that was inspired by something that was shared with me by none other than Mrs. Da Fingaz (my wife).

There are countless pieces online that discuss the concept of having your cake AND eating it too.

Some say that you...

Let's talk about dreams this week.

Not the dreams you have while sleeping (of course ). 

The dreams...the vision...the goals you have for your life. For your business. For your music. Or for whatever you have dreams of. 

"When you're speaking on your dreams, make sure the look...

I recently watched a video by Daymond John (aka “The People’s Shark” and one of the founders of FUBU) where he shared the 4 reasons people purchase things.
