Hello there!
I'm guessing you found this page because you just saw me speak at the Hungry for Hope Conference or someone you know shared this with you. Welcome.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. Below you'll find more info about me, where you can connect with me on the interwebs, slides from my talk, and some other opportunities to get free stuff.
Everyone likes free stuff, right? That's what I thought.
A little more about me
My name's Jeff, and this is my blog. So you're on my territory (whether you like it or not).
A few things about me:
- I'm a new dad and a not-so-new husband (though I still act like an amateur).
- I'm the author of a book called, The In-Between.
- I write, speak, and play around on the Internet for a living.
- My dream is to use words to change lives and help others do the same.
- I am quit the guacamole connoisseur.
My talk
My talk at the conference was about how I was able to pursue my dream of becoming a professional writer without quitting my job or any other commitments. I did this by finally refusing to believe three myths:
- “They want me to fail.” (They being those closest to you, who are actually your biggest potential supporters.”)
- “It takes too much time.” (In reality, most dreams only need about 30 minutes per day to grow.)
- “It's all or nothing.” (For years, I didn't start chasing my dream, because I thought I'd have to quit everything, but really once I started it was a much slower and more intentional process than I realized.)
Here are the slides from the talk:
