Be Brave. Be Bold. Be Yourself.A Winter Bonus Episode to Start the New Season

As we step into a new season of Tech Diva Biz Talks, this short bonus episode is a quiet but powerful reminder to begin the year with courage, clarity, and self-trust.

Recorded outdoors in the stillness of winter, this reflection invites you to slow down, breathe, and move forward with intention — not by becoming someone new, but by fully owning who you already are.

No hype. No hustle. Just a grounded message to start the season, brave, bold, and aligned.

🎧 New season.
 ❄️ New perspective.
 ✨ Same truth: be yourself.

Shout-out to my friend Anita for filming the snow scenes and adding her wisdom, and to Val for being our doorkeeper and encourager. You all are much appreciated.

Hey everybody. Okay, look, it is winter in Cleveland, Ohio. But guess What? This is 2026. And I want to challenge you to be bold, be brave, and be yourself. Today is my birthday, and I am going to go outside and be myself. Be right back. 

I'm on my balcony. Look at that. So I'm gonna go right there in that medium. This is absolutely gorgeous. So I'm gonna go downstairs now, okay? I've got to go downstairs because I'm gonna do something crazy. It's snowing, and you know the games kids play and just go out in the snow. 

I'm about to go and get in the snow. I know you don't believe me, but what were my words? Be brave, be bold, be yourself. Do something crazy. It's 2026. We've got to come out of our shells, people. If you want to be successful, you're going to have to step out of your comfort zone. All right, I'll be right back. 

Okay, people, it's about to go down. It's about to go down. I'm downstairs now. I'm not on the balcony anymore. You can see the trees level. Here comes my friend Anita. She's gonna. She's gonna take care of this. This crazy old lady. Okay? We're about to do it. Okay? But she didn't say I wasn't crazy. 

Okay, everybody, it's my birthday, but it's also a new year. In a new year, what do we do? We come up with words, we make goals, and all these kinds of things. But I want to challenge you to be brave, be bold, be yourself, and do something crazy. Okay? Sometimes we do these activities just to get us out of our comfort zone. And then we can go and conquer what we really need to do. Things are challenging. 

I want you to watch me, okay? I'm out here in the winter wonderland, Northeast Ohio. I'm all bundled up. Guess what? I'm about to get on this ground. I'm about to be your angel for 2026. Just watch. I'm making an angel for you. It is snowing like crazy, and I'm having a great time. 

Hey, Anita. Hey. I'm your snow angel. How are you doing?

Even though you can't see the sun, guess what? It's still shining. People. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. So get up. Arise up, all you sleeper. It is time to live your dream. I'm up. Gotta go.
