Cyber Monday 30 for 30

I know. You are likely inundated with emails about exclusive deals on electronics, clothes and even books. Yes, I have announced holiday deals for my books as well. However, this year will be different. I want to invest in YOU. Yes, you read that correctly. I’m doing my first ever 30 for 30 Cyber Monday sale.

I’m releasing a follow-up to my 2023 book, Can I Pick Your Brain?, during the second quarter of 2025. The book will be called Pick Me Up and detail all of the steps needed to pick yourself up by your own literary bootstraps. The book will be a working accountability journal to guide you through the process of publishing your first (or next book).

The next step in your publishing process can be difficult to navigate. Now, this is where I come in. I am offering a 30-minute consultation to catapult you to the next level for publishing your book, today (and the rest of the week). The consultation will include a 15-minute review of you telling me the concept of your book and where you are in the publishing process. Then, we will review a plan of action for the next 30 minutes.

What’s the catch? Only $30 and 45 minutes of your time. Book your 30 for 30 Cyber Monday appointment today. Email 7thSignConsultingLLC@gmail.com for further details.

Introducing the Four Elements

As many of you know, I host a podcast called The Water Bearer Podcast. The show revolves around conversations about how zodiac sign characteristics impact our judgment, relationships and every day life. Now, after three seasons and 30 episodes, I’m ready to kick off season four tomorrow!

As if that isn’t enough, I get to fulfill one of the ideas I’ve had since the inception of the podcast. I’ll have representation from each of the four zodiac elements on one episode. Tomorrow will feature Damien Davis for Taurus (Earth sign), Josh Story for Aries (Fire sign), myself for Aquarius (Air sign) and Aric Tucker for Scorpio (Water sign).

We will discuss the male characteristics of each of the signs and get to know each of the guests on a personal level. Plus, we’ll play a round of Dead in the Water, the “this or that” game played with every guest. It’s going to be an interesting discussion where every man is for himself to defend their sign.

Catch the Drip live tomorrow at 7 pm CST.

The End Of An Era

I still remember it like it was yesterday. Twenty years ago, I remember hearing the saying, “To whom much is given, much is required”, to the point ad nauseum. The person speaking the words was a mentor, soon to be fraternity brother and great friend, Arthur Gregg. Sometimes I would say, “Well, give me less responsibility then”. That didn’t go over too well.

Now, at 38 years old, I can look back and really ingest the truth of those words. During tough times, I’ve replayed those words in my head to keep going. Isn’t it funny how those things we sometimes dislike to hear become our own mantra with time? Arthur was instrumental in my transition from a boy to a man. Now, I’m honored to have him representing the end of another era for me – the season three finale of The Water Bearer Podcast (airing live tomorrow at 7 pm CST).

He’s an Aries, so you know we’re going to have a fiery discussion. Tune in tomorrow to hear us chat about Aries male characteristics, the weight of responsibility and brotherhood. Plus, there will be a special announcement on the show that you’ll want to get first dibs on. Catch up on the missed episodes and please subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any new content, including season four (kicking off on January 18, 2024)!

Not Another Black Friday Sale…Yep!

I know what you’re thinking. Another Black Friday sale? Yes, you’re absolutely right. I must be a glutton for punishment because I released two books this year. Whew!

Although I promised myself I wouldn’t write anything new until March of 2024 (which will be a full year from when I wrapped up my last book), I did enjoy writing these two books. Can I Pick Your Brain? was released first in April. That book literally took ten years in the making, as it details all of the questions people have asked me about publishing their own book.

Then, I released a dual concept poetry book titled Heads or Tails. I heard there may be an audiobook version of it one day. Now, I’m offering both books to you for $8 each (never before low price….seriously). This sale will only last through Monday, so don’t miss out!

Oh and if you haven’t caught up on The Water Bearer Podcast, check out the channel (and subscribing is even better 😉 ).

Pink Flag Opportunities

Do you run at the first sign of a red flag? It’s ok, you’re not alone. I’ve done it before too. However, how many of us think to lift the flag for information? Me neither, until recently.

As many of you may be aware, I’m currently on hiatus from The Water Bearer Podcast (season three kicks off on October 5, 2023). Over the next few weeks, I’ll share a few of the life nuggets I’ve picked up from season two. Tyrell Starks was my guest on the season two finale. He’s a life coach (and a Sagittarius) and he brought up a thought provoking point about red flags.

Instead of focusing on pink flags, he said we should take that opportunity to turn it into a pink flag. What does that mean? Asking questions, seeking understanding and taking a step back for perspective are ways that we can uncover common ground. I’ve tried putting this in practice since the episode aired and already have found it helpful.

Check out the season finale below and The Water Bearer Podcast episodes.

Out of Service Area

I was recently reminded of how much we rely on technology, specifically our cell phones. My current cell phone has really been malfunctioning lately. Calls cut off randomly, internet is spotty when I’m not home and my GPS fails to load at times. If you know me, then you know I’m directionally challenged. So, not having a reliable GPS is an issue.

However, as I drove around the city this weekend without any connection to social media, the outside world and the happenings of the world, a wave of freedom came over me. Don’t get me wrong. Ultimately, I was frustrated about my phone situation. Nonetheless, I failed to realize how priceless quiet peace can be until I was forced in that space.

How many times do we willingly bring ourselves back in service areas that harm us? How often do we unplug from service areas that may be healthy but need a cool down? The moment with the phone was a gentle reminder that we must take the moments to break away from it all. If we don’t, we may be forced to in an uncomfortable way.

Is It a Crime (Astrology)?

Zodiac signs. It seems they are all the rage lately, with many people delving into what they mean and even deeper aspects such as a person’s rising and moon sign. Although I don’t generalize a person based on their zodiac sign, I do believe some common similarities ring true. Specific traits tend to be a common denominator when people born during a certain time of the year are compared.

I’m almost halfway through the second season of my zodiac based (shout out to all of the Aquarians) The Water Bearer Podcast. Astrological discussions are the core of the show but we also speak about many life scenarios, including relationships, entrepreneurship and conflict resolution. During the latest episode (“Chopping Down July Babies”), we discussed the difference between religion and spirituality. We also addressed the notion of whether or not astrology is a crime. After all, there are several of instances of astronomers referenced in the Bible.

The key is that we should not generalize each other based on zodiac signs or anything else. Astrology is an enhancement tool in my eyes, that allows you to gain insight into a person’s behavior. It’s the “why they do what they do.” Get into the latest episode of the podcast and judge for yourself. Catch the Drip and let’s loosen the grip on judgment. Be sure to catch up on season two and get ready for the new episode next week, featuring an Aquarius + Gemini couple.

Which Zodiac Sign Is the Worst to Date?

I conducted a recent poll and asked people which zodiac sign was their worst one to date. I gave no additional context and most people didn’t offer it on their own. Unfortunately, Aquarius (my zodiac sign) was number two. Gemini was just above me at the number one spot. I started thinking how we often judge someone’s character based off of one bad experience we’ve had. Often times a great disdain for anything comes from a single nasty experience. Yes, one experience.

Although The Water Bearer Podcast has been extremely entertaining this far (check out the latest episode below and catch up on past episodes), I try to keep things in perspective. No sign is a bad apple. No sign is superior (well, maybe Aquarius is slightly superior). We all have unique experiences, idiosyncrasies and characteristics that add to the spice of life.

Also, don’t forget that my new poetry book, Heads or Tails, is still available for presale through the end of the month.

Your Fate Is in the Flip (at Midnight)

Wouldn’t life be easy if all of the tough decisions could be made by a flip of a coin (with a desirable outcome waiting on either side)? I know, wishful thinking. Although the decisions aren’t that easy to make, most boil down to two choices. My new poetry book, Heads or Tails, details this thought process with a new format I’ve never done. Each poem has a “heads” or “tails” version that highlights opposite feelings about the same subject.

Now, you can get your own signed, presale copy ahead of the official July 7, 2023 release. The presale begins at midnight (click here)! Plus, you might want to tune into episode two of The Water Bearer Podcast for a special giveaway. 😉

Here’s a snippet of one of my favorite poems in Heads or Tails, the “heads” version of “Prescription”. Plus, catch up on the season two premiere of The Water Bearer Podcast below.

Doctor, what you got to/Induce illusions of grandeur?/Something to me up once/This nightmare subsides/I’m not in denial/But no matter how I try/The inscription lays emblazoned/All over my mind.
