Last January I traveled to Al Dhafra Airbase in Abu Dhabi to perform for US troops and never shared the photos. I’ve gotten to perform at a number of military bases over the years (from Yokosuka Naval base outside Tokyo to Guam to even GITMO) and this was one of more unique visits… spent the first day touring the base and performing for some of the elite units, including the K9 Unit and the EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) Unit. Did you see the Hurt Locker? That’s the EOD Unit: they diffuse land mines and other bombs. I tried on the bomb suit (imagine 80 pounds of gear in 100 degree weather!) and sit behind the wheel of the unit’s massive armored vehicle. The K9 Unit demonstrated how extremely well-trained their Belgian Malinois are at attacking predators… then asked me to put them to the test by donning the protective suit. Wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into (no helmet?!) but it was wild. Swipe for the takedown video!

You can’t pack a year of events into 30 seconds, but I’ll give it a whirl. Grateful for all the experiences shared, moments created, milestones celebrated, and the new friends made along the way.

Last month I was honored to present at the Global Citizen NOW conference alongside public policy officials and private individuals including @thehughjackman @tomcolicchio and @sarahferguson15 , who are working to mobilize citizens around the world. Inspiring day. 📷 by @ryanmuir

A few weeks ago I had the honor of performing at the Inc 5000 Conference, where I entertained CEOs from some of the country’s fastest growing companies. Today I was surprised and delighted to find myself on the Inc homepage… In the article I offer up some tips for execs looking to amp up their onstage presentations. Link in bio!
