Give The Gift of MORE – 25 Videos Sharing Stories, Reflections, and Inspiration for Becoming More
In a world accelerating faster than at any point in human history, we need reminders. Anchors. Moments that bring us back to what matters.
The MORE Effect was written for that purpose. In this 25 video series I share stories, principles, and reflections that shaped The MORE Effect and why I believe the endurance of human existence comes down to one word: MORE.
If you know someone who needs encouragement. Someone navigating change. Someone who could use a reminder of their strength, their possibility, and their humanity…
Give them the Gift of MORE. Because the greatest gift we can give — in any season — is helping someone else Become More.
