TommyLog – Preventative Maintenance in Your Life with Robyn Wright

Hey Kids it’s dad, and for today’s TommyLog I’m coming to you live and in person from the W Hotel in Midtown Atlanta. I’m joined by my awesome Verizon friend Robyn Wright.

We want to talk about preventive maintenance. At work there are many large complicated machines. Every two or three months we have preventive maintenance done on the machines to keep them running smoothly. We do this during downtime to take care of little issues that could potentially become big issues if they’re not taking care of properly. Just like your vehicle, getting the oil changed is something that’s important on a regular basis. In life we need to also do preventive maintenance. No matter if it’s some downtime, a vacation, or just a family dinner. We also need to make sure to take care of our bodies. A check up our yearly check up is important. We need to watch over ourselves!

Preventive maintenance is important. Never forget that.

Thank you Robyn for doing this video with me. It’s always a pleasure to be around you. You bring the best out of everybody. You can find more about Robyn at www.Robynsonlineworld.com, or @Robynsworld on Twitter. YOU ROCK!

4 Questions with A Verizon Friend! #VZWBUZZ #AD

This long labor day weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Phoenix to see family and spend some time with a few long lost Verizon influencers. I just had to meet Sara Hawkins and what fun would it be to do a TommyLog video with her. So I did.

I took some viewer emails and let Sara join in on the fun.

Here’s the questions:

1 – Top High School pro horror story?
2 – 3 tech items you can’t live without?
3 – How do you like your eggs cooked?
4- Home on the couch or night on the town?

What a TREAT it was to meet Sara and spend the morning with her in her hood. My life was blessed to meet her in person!

Find Your Hustle – What Makes You happy?

Had an amazing breakfast this morning. It always reinvigorates me to see friends and listen to their successes. Made me think. Do what you love. If you are not happy, change it— FAST!!

Make a difference in everything you do!

You must be happy before you can make others happy.

Let that simmer for a moment – You all Rock!!

TommyLog – Handling Adversity

This morning I received a phone call from an old friend and she told me that she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I have known both her and her husband since grade school, and even though miles separate us, she thought enough to contact me and tell me the news. What really set me back in my seat as I’m listening to her story… she could only think about her husband and asked me to reach out to him.

What an amazingly powerful woman. She wasn’t sad as she told the story, she was as peppy and happy as I have ever heard her. She wasn’t worried about herself… she was worried about her husband. How amazing is that?? THANK YOU for thinking about me and bringing me into your circle. Now I can cheer you on as you enter a new stage in life and see if i can help your main man a bit as you work through this together.

TommyLog – Good Friends Listen!

Hey kids, for today’s TommyLog I want to talk about one of the attributes of a good friend. Their listening skills. Last week I was called upon to be THAT friend, to be able to listen and soak in and just let someone vent. I’m thankful I was ready and able to take the phone call and that I was able to be there in a time of need.

I’m pretty sure if people had better listening skills, can you imagine what a better place this world would be?
