form when I stepped on stage.

I was taking care of my body and mind.
I was getting ready for my moment.

5. I got faith.
Faith doesn’t always mean something
religious.
Faith in yourself, faith in other people, faith
in my practice and prep, faith in my Band of
Legends – all of it gives a level of confidence
that allows the best to surface.
I accepted that the moment would be
perfect, even in any imperfections.
It would be “perfectly imperfect.”


I let go.
I trusted.

My Band of Legends and myself performed
on July 21st at The Townsend in Austin.

I’m the luckiest musician alive to have a
band of this caliber: Drummer Joe Vitale
(yes, same name as mine), bass man Glenn
Fukunaga and lead guitarist Daniel Barrett.

These incredible musicians encouraged me,
supported me, and brought my songs to life.
We raised the roof and tore down the walls.
We shook the earth and wowed the crowd.
Talk about overcoming fear!!!
I gave everything I had in me, delivering my
messages with energy, enthusiasm,
electricity, and a sense of fearlessness and
fun.
At the end of our set, we got a standing
ovation.
A standing ovation!
I did it.
And I loved it!
Now, what do you fear that is time for you to
do?
Isn’t today a good day to begin overcoming
fear?
Expect Miracles.

And, after two months of preparing,
what happened?

As a slogan I coined says, “It is
what you accept.”
