Hi\u00a0Friend,
\r\n
\r\nI hope this message finds you well. It’s been way too long since you\u2019ve heard from me, and I owe you an apology for my radio silence.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nThe truth is, life has taken me on quite the rollercoaster ride lately. I’ve been jet-setting around, working on this brand new speech I’m super stoked about \u2013 it’s called “A No Excuse Life,” and I was able to deliver it last week with rave reviews\u00a0\ud83d\ude4f.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nAnd that’s not all! I’ve been diligently\u00a0crafting a kick-butt video course that I believe will blow your socks off. Seriously, I’ve poured my heart and soul into it, and I’m itching to share it with you.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nBut wait, there’s more! I’ve been creating something special \u2013 a mastermind community where we can all join forces to crush our goals. The synergy there is gonna be off the charts! Be sure to email me if\u00a0this interests you.\u00a0
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nOh, and did I mention the fundraiser I’m cooking up called Tailgate Toss<\/a>? It’s happening on November 4th, and I’d be excited if you could join<\/a> in and support<\/a> our family wheelchair camp.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nNow, amidst all this hustle and bustle, being a dad and a husband remains my top priority. Balancing family life with these projects has been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nI want you to know that I’ve missed our interactions dearly, and I’m gearing up to shower you with inspiration galore. Life taught me a valuable lesson during this time \u2013 sometimes, we’ve gotta hit pause, catch our breath, and come back stronger than ever.\u00a0\ud83d\ude80
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nSo, from the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry for the silence, and I can’t thank you enough for sticking with me. Our journey is far from over, and I can’t wait to catch up with each one of you soon.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nNow, here’s the action part: I’d love to hear from you. What topics or ideas are burning in your mind right now? Reply to this email and let’s start a conversation. Your input is incredibly valuable to me.
\r\n\u00a0
\r\nYour friend,
\r\n\u00a0
