Hey there,
This year has been off to an amazing start and I wanted to share with you all that’s been going on and what’s on the horizon. I have so much to tell you. You probably already know that new projects or launches take a specific amount of time. Some require a great deal of development, like my books. Others are quicker, such as paintings and new course content.
However short or long of time they take, I make sure to journal the highs and lows along the way. Each entry is a reminder and marker of the momentum I am making toward my end goal. I wanted to find a fun way to keep you in the loop, not only to show you a behind-the-scenes peek at my life but as a way of encouraging you to keep moving forward.
I am excited to announce the first edition of “Momentum Markers” .
Each new release will include all the happenings in the areas of my business ventures, personal wins, ministry highlights, upcoming events, and so much more.
I hope my momentum gives you a little nudge if you were needing it, and something to look forward to this week.
Let’s get after it!

This issue of Momentum highlights
Personal Momentum & Wins
One of my personal discipline mantras: If you aren’t measuring, you’re managing chaos. If you want to increase momentum, it must be tracked and reported.
- Marriage: Chantel and I are celebrating 24 years of marriage and weekly date nights totaling almost 1,200 date nights. The key is that we use each night as an investment and inventory of how we are stewarding the house, businesses, our children, and our generosity portfolio. We focus on dreams and make sure to measure progress. We confirm what our love languages are and how we are supporting each other. You can invest in marriage counseling or a date night; you’re going to invest in one or the other 🙂
- Parenting: I am excited to share that my son Noah is about to graduate High School and is scouting Aircraft Mechanics School here in Orange County. I’m super pumped for him. Griff is doing amazing at Biola Film School and is working with our media agency in video, marketing, and social media. She’s amazing.
- Mind/Wisdom: Current books that I am ingesting daily include “Abba’s Child” by Brennan Manning, “10x is Easier than 2x” By Benjamine Hardy, “Who not How” by Benjamin Hardy, “The Gap and the Gain” by Benjamin Hardy, and “Range” by David Epstein.
- Body: Since 2020 I’ve had a goal to remain at 15% Body fat and have achieved that goal consistently. The key for me has been walking 5 miles a day and weights 3 days a week. While walking I listen to the bible app audio bible and then listen to my audiobooks. For eating, I’ve stayed on point with high protein, no sugar, low carb throughout the week and go big and feast on Sunday with the family.
- Soul/Relational: Great month hosting a Men’s fellowship at the Lodge on our property. Each evening gathers all the creative entrepreneurs in Orange County to fellowship and take a deep dive into a kingdom-based business strategy.
- Spirit: My morning routine has been designed to have an undistracted, unthreatened interruption period from 5 am-10 am daily. In this routine, I journal wins, forecast, and dive deep into conversation with God.
- Generosity Portfolio: Great news from the field of our initiatives with Acres of Love as we rescue and care for Orphans in South Africa who have been orphaned due to AIDS. Our development partnership with The Jesus Film Feature Animation is making great strides. I cannot wait for this to go to the world. We recently had the opportunity to help get bibles for a women and children's group in the Ukraine. We are also helping deploy the gospel into unreached territories around the globe.
Art Momentum
- Epcot International Festival of the Arts: From January through February, The Noah Fine Art booth was a part of the six-week event at Walt Disney World. I released six brand-new images. In addition, I had the amazing honor of releasing our new artist in the Noah Fine Art Family: The Art of Scooter. You can follow him on Instagram @artofscooter He was received at the festival with an amazing response and thank you to all the guests that made it such a great success.
- Disneyana Disneyland: Soon after arriving back from Florida, I did a signing event at Disneyland Resort inside Disneyana. I released my newest image “Headed to the Parks” which was well received. The entire event was one of our greatest turnouts to date. I wanted to thank each of you for your continued loyal support.

Momentum
- [NEW] The Profitable Artist Book Release: I am excited to announce, after two years in development, The Profitable Artist book will be releasing early Summer. I just signed off on the proof advanced copy! This book is the entire framework I have used for the last 30 years to scale my companies from selling art door to door at 16 to having a portfolio of companies and products that empower our family to make an impact around the globe. My goal with the book and course has been to equip as many creative entrepreneurs with the blueprint, systems, and framework I wish I had as I graduated High School. I poured my heart and soul into this one!!!! If you haven’t taken the Profitable Artist Online Course be sure to check it out here.
- [New] Course Subscription: The team and I just finished a 9-month rebrand and build which curated a brand new monthly course subscription including many of my courses for one membership of $99 a month. This was an answer to helping as many creative entrepreneurs gain access to strategies and tools that can help them build their lives and businesses as strategically as possible. The most exciting part for me is to see my members overhaul their craft, and their careers, and explore their True North. Learn More
- New Fearhunters Course Launched: My book Feahunters which helps you remove fear and shame so you can live your true identity has been an amazing success. Thanks everyone for the incredible support. I’m excited to announce that the online companion course to the book is available as a part of the new course subscription. This companion course to my book is designed to be used as a book club, or a small group study, or you can take the adventure as a solo mission.
- Elite Group Coaching: Each month I’m hosting virtual sessions with my elite member community of creative entrepreneurs helping them with strategies for their business and purpose.

- New Online Vital Signs Audit: I recently had so many requests from business owners and creatives to sit down for a strategy session that I created a new product called Vital Signs Audit. In this 90-minute online audit, I walk individuals through a personal and professional life audit on how to maximize their time, craft, career, and money. Each of these sessions produces massive clarity and confirmation for those who attend. Participants say it's one of the greatest investments of their lives to clarify and establish their True North and purpose. Click here to learn more.
- New Discovery Session Day: A few years back, I started testing a framework with my clients. This framework produced incredible results that helped organizations, ministries, and teams architect their brand and business model to produce impact and income for years to come. The session is held in person or virtually and is one of the most powerful investments a team or individual can make in their lifetime of work. I personally guide you and/or your team through the process. For more information click here.
- The Master’s Program Quarterly Sessions: Each quarter, since 2019, I host and meet in person or on Zoom with a group of Kingdom entrepreneurs who want to explore, expose and exploit their kingdom calling. In these sessions, I help men achieve more balance, margin, and focus in pursuit of their Kingdom Assignment. I love helping men and their families build an eternal legacy using their business as a mission. Click here to learn more about how you can join me and other extraordinary leaders.
