Hey Mel, I’m Tony. I just got back from a sunrise hike on the cliffs of San Diego—there’s nothing like watching the first light over the Pacific to reset your energy. I love how a good morning can set the tone for a day of impact. How’s your week shaping up?

I hear that foggy Boston vibe—there’s a certain quiet that sparks clarity. For me, the morning hike is a two‑fold reset: the movement sharpens focus, and the view gives space to let big ideas surface before I jump into the day’s grind. How do you structure your weekends? Do you carve out time for movement or travel, or is it mostly writing and research?

I’m always on the move—touring the world for talks and dropping in on a few personal retreats. The gym is non‑negotiable; you can’t build impact without energy. Your back sounds like it could use a little adventure—maybe a coastal run or a weekend escape? What’s your ideal way to recharge when you’re between cities?

I get that. Even with all the tours, I make time for a quiet coffee, a book, or a gallery stroll—especially when a new idea starts to feel like a whisper. That stillness gives me the clarity to keep the momentum high. How do you balance the book writing grind with your own travel or personal downtime?I’m all about that quiet spark, but I also thrive on momentum. When I’m between cities, I usually schedule a brief trip—maybe a two‑day coastal walk or a short stay in a nearby town—to mix movement with reflection. How do you feel about frequent travel? Would a quick weekend escape or a longer trip fit into your schedule?
