STUDENT: “Hey Montone... I feel like you would know this. 
How do I photoshop this ticket? I have a nosebleed seat 
and I want an upgrade to the general admission pit.”

MOM: “Just go back in and watch football, would ya?”

Family, my adopted brother Steve and my canine sister Chancey.










Remember to honor your ideas and creativity. 
Take a moment, whether it’s between meetings, 
on a train or while everyone around you is doing 
something else. Start drawing up or writing down your 
game plan. Putting your ideas on paper is a powerful 
way to externalize your intentions. By doing so, you create 
an energetic contract... one that says “I will”. Figure out what 
mental and physical steps you can take to create whatever
 it is you want to bring into existence and don’t talk yourself
 out of moving forward. DO NOT allow your “self” to tell your
 “self” that you don’t have time or energy. If you have the 
energy to think something into existence you have the 
energy to actuate it. Building an extra hour into your day 
(however you must) and consistently using that time to 
manifest, explore and fully realize whatever it is you want to 
make (whatever that may be) can yield very powerful 
results. REMEMBER: Any ideas you have are YOURS. They 
belong to YOU and they were given to you so they can 
physically materialize. The only person that can stop 
you from creating is you. Should you need assistance, a 
partner or a collaborator, just remember that the universe
 has a way of putting the right people in our paths at the
 precise moment we need their help. Happy creating, folks.
