Hey—

I hate last-minute promos. But sometimes the world doesn’t give a damn about your marketing calendar.

So here’s what’s happening:

This Thursday at 8 PM EST — LIVE from the IGLTA convention in Palm Springs — I’m doing something I’ve never done before — a 24-minute live session (and yes, if you know me, you’re probably wondering if I can actually pull that off. We’ll find out together).

I’ll share the simple framework that’s helping thousands of people go from isolated to connected… from checking your phone 100 times a day to actually feeling present in your own life — in less time than it takes to scroll Instagram.

It’s the first public unveiling of something that started as a whisper back in June — The Daily Hug.

Since then, we’ve added Alex the HugBot, built ways to help other nonprofits raise money, and watched the movement start to take shape.

But here’s the truth:

Things out there are getting rough.

Suicide rates are spiking. Anxiety meds are flying off shelves. People are more connected than ever… and lonelier than ever.

The statistics are just plain scary—and there’s a better than 1 in 5 chance that you’re one of them.

I just got off the phone with an amazing woman who runs a nonprofit for LGBTQ+ youth — and she told me government funding for anything LGBTQ+ has been slashed.

They’re scared. Some are even worried about money being clawed back retroactively. (This insanity is getting worse each week.)

And it’s not just them.

Everywhere you look — good people are burning out, connection is dying, and loneliness is eating people alive.

And you can’t nomad your way out of it.

That’s why we’re doing this now. This week.

No fancy buildup. No months of prep. Just a mission that can’t wait.

This whole thing is being sponsored by the SeenWithLove Foundation (501 (c)(3)), and proceeds from this launch will help nonprofits working to keep people connected, safe, and seen.

We’re building a global movement that belongs to everyone.

No politics. No preaching. Just love, presence, and a reminder that we all matter.

So — here are my two asks:

👉 FIRST: Join me live this Thursday, October 23 at 8 PM EST.

🎟 Grab your spot here »

If you’ve ever felt lonely, invisible, or just tired of how divided the world’s become — this is for you.

👉 NEXT: If you know someone who could use a little light — share this with them (and ask them to pass it forward as well).

BONUS POINTS—share this with organizations you know who could benefit from our support, and whose members need this message.

This is for every human who still believes in kindness.

We’re doing this on a shoestring budget, powered by heart and caffeine.

But together, we can build something that reaches millions — maybe even hundreds of millions — and prove that love still scales.

With gratitude (and a little a lot of adrenaline),

P.S. 100% transparency — this isn’t some slick “launch.” It’s the first live session we’ve ever done. We’re doing it messy, fast, and real… because the world needs this now, not “after the strategy deck is done.” Come be part of the beginning. 💛

P.P.S. Yes, you’ve heard about The Daily Hug from me before. But I never told you what I was really planning. This is big. Come see what’s next. (and yes—we have a few Lifetime Hug Society Memberships left (the offer will change on Thursday, so if it resonates, check it out here and save).
