The Path to Greatness Is Paved with Small, Consistent Steps
Greatness is a word that evokes visions of monumental achievements, groundbreaking innovations, and lives transformed on an epic scale. Yet, behind every towering success lies an often-overlooked truth: greatness is not achieved through a single leap, but through the steady accumulation of small, deliberate actions.
From Voices of Injustice to Architects of Solutions: My Journey as a Leader Focused on Change
Throughout human history, many have raised their voices against injustice, fighting for equality, freedom, and the rights of the oppressed. These champions of civil rights are known for exposing the problems that plague society, mobilizing communities, and inspiring change through their words, actions, and sacrifice. From Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha) in ancient India to modern-day activists like Malala Yousafzai, the world has been profoundly shaped by those who identified and named the injustices they saw. However, as important as it is to recognize and voice these problems, my focus is different. I am not here to echo the chorus of voices that declare the injustices of the world—my goal is to be the solution.
From Germany to the Deep South: The Legacy of the Schiele Family
My family history is something I’ve always felt deeply connected to, especially when I think about where we came from and the journey that led us here. The Schiele name is of German origin, and like many German families in the 19th century, our ancestors made the journey to America during a time of upheaval in Europe.

Turning Your Passion for Writing into a Profitable Enterprise
Growing up, I was always writing—jotting down my thoughts, ideas, and aspirations. It wasn’t a journal, not something as structured or detailed as that, but more like an 80s version of a vision board. My notebooks were filled with everything I was going through, books I aspired to write, movies I wanted to create, and achievements I dreamed of reaching. I would research topics that piqued my interest, craft poetry, draft movie scripts, and fill up a tablet in a matter of weeks. Yet, there was no structure or plan to turn these writings into more than just hobbies. They were my collected thoughts, stored away in the pages of those notebooks.
Beyond the Comfort Zone: Why Being the Smartest in the Room Holds You Back
There’s a popular saying in leadership circles: “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” This simple phrase carries profound wisdom, particularly for those striving to build something greater than themselves, be it a business, a community, or a legacy. But what does it truly mean? And why does it matter?

Words Have the Power to Create or Destroy: Use Them Wisely
Words are among the most powerful tools humans possess. They can uplift and inspire or tear down and devastate. The impact of words is often underestimated, yet they shape our perceptions, influence our emotions, and guide our actions. In every conversation, social media post, or written message, the words we choose carry the potential to create something beautiful or destroy something precious. It’s essential, therefore, to be mindful of our language and to ensure that, even in criticism or correction, our words are intended to build back better, not simply to tear down.
