Hello again;

This week we are going to start off your Monday with an amazingly inspirational interview on The What’s Your Excuse? Show.

Craig Lewis was rescued from his mental illness. In fact, thanks to his parents, he was forced to take psychotropic drugs for years. And he had to deal with the physical, mental, and emotional effects of being misdiagnosed.

Eventually, two brave young doctors would recognize his situation and would fight for his freedom from the drugs and from being controlled by others.

Since then, he has truly lived the What’s Your Excuse lifestyle.

He has written two books about his experiences and the lessons people can learn from them.

Better Days being his first.

You can buy it at the link above.

He has created a life-changing workshop, which he has delivered all over the world. In fact, he has traveled to over forty countries so far.

I’m not going to spoil it, but let’s just say that he is now my travel hero, living the “why wait for things to be perfect” approach to life and travel.

Just one other thing about Craig before we get to the show. When we met and discussed having him on the show, he didn’t have a website. He still didn’t by the time we recorded. He has one now. But for all those people waiting for their website to be perfect, they should take yet another lesson from Craig.

Now, on to the show!

My fourth self-help book and the second in my fearless travel series is now available on Amazon.

You can buy your copy here.

And I hope you will visit my sponsor Chip and Pam Edwards at www.createmyvoice.com

While they don’t figure in this book, their support has allowed me to continue to travel to events. They have even helped me book my travel plans.

You will get to know them a lot better in my next book.

For now, just know that Chip is “The Expert” on voice branding through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

He can make the case that being on these platforms is no longer desired but is now an absolute necessity.

This is because the search engines are pushing people to find and consume their content through these wireless voice speakers and their related smart-Phone apps.

And your invocation name is critical to your future success. You have to claim it, protect it, and use it to grow your brand.

With millions of people getting their content by saying, “Alexa, play Create My Voice” or Google Talk to Create My Voice, can you really afford not to be on these platforms?

About Craig

Well, I told you Craig started sharing his story before he had a site.

Hello, again!

I’m writing this to announce the release of my fourth inspirational self-help book, which is the second in my adventurous travel series.

Buy it on Amazon.

It features the complete and total honesty that my readers have come to expect from me, along with a wide-eyed wonder about all the experiences I enjoyed along the way.

Good or bad, flattering or embarrassing, success or setback — they are all in here.

I also share with readers the approaches, attitudes, and methods that I have employed to allow me to go off on such a big scary adventure.

And I do it with a friendly, conversational style that will remind you of getting a letter from a treasured friend.

I want people to think that if Max can do this, then What’s My Excuse? And I want to show them how they can do just that with their own dreams.

Even during the times of Corona, there are adventures all around us. From creating art or music in our homes to meeting new people online to starting a podcast or even writing that book, adventures and experiences are all around us.

I am so excited about my new book, and already has two Five-Star reviews.

Lessons I Learned

I had a lot of trouble finally completing this book. After all, it’s been almost three years since I went out on the adventure chronicled in this book.

So, you are probably asking yourself, “Why couldn’t the ‘no excuses guy’ finish his book?”

I had to ask myself that same question and give myself an honest answer.

I took an inventory of all of my activities online and in person. And I asked myself what could I most easily eliminate to give me more time and energy to write, edit, and work with my editor Lorraine Reguly to finish the book and get it out into the world.
