I’m Terry Weaver — business coach and idea strategist who specializes in helping remarkable leaders navigate the galaxy of entrepreneurship. My biggest goal is to help YOU discover what you really want and help discover the map to head in the direction and arrive at the destination. You desire. It’s the age old Spice Girls question I ask all my clients:“ Tell me what you want, what you really really want.” Almost immediately after high school I became a full time speaker speaking to students in middle school, high school, and colleges. During that time I accidentally found myself in the music business helping artists navigate moving their dreams from their garage to selling out shows and topping the charts. Standing on stage in a packed arena things began to shift for me.
I can't believe it's almost here

We’re one week out from The Thing Nashville—and I want to speak to the tension a lot of us are feeling right now. The world feels uncertain. Heavy. Distracting. But you weren’t made to shrink back. And if that’s stirring something in you, I want you in the room with us. The Thing Nashville is happening June 30 & July 1. Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more “somedays.” You need the right people, the right environment, and a little permission to finally take yourself seriously. And that’s what The Thing is all about. We’re not here to impress each other. We’re here to move each other forward. This is where you’ll find:
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to show up. If you're looking for a sign, this is it. Not because the timing is perfect, but because your mission can’t wait. The Thing was built for moments like this. When leaders and dreamers gather, ideas grow roots, collaborations form, and lives change. The world may be noisy. But in this room, you’ll find clarity. You’ll find courage. You’ll find people who leave space for the magic in the margins—and believe in building a future worth fighting for. So don’t sit this one out. Your voice, your mission, your work matters. The world seems loud, but hope is louder. And we need you in the room. Use the code "ALLINNASH25" to save on your ticket. 📍The Thing Nashville 2025 You in? —Terry P.S. If you have any questions, hit reply. Or text me, call me, or send a carrier pigeon. I’m here to help however I can. Just don’t miss this.

Let’s be real — these are wild times to be building anything. Algorithms flip every few weeks. What worked in marketing six months ago? Already outdated. AI is rewriting everything we thought we knew about marketing and communication. But here’s the truth, no one’s saying loud enough: AI can’t replicate YOU. Not your story. Not your scars.Not your weird, wonderful wiring. And that’s what this year’s Thing Orlando is all about —YOU: The Power of Being Human. Because the secret to discovering...
I think you know that Leslie (my wife) and I live just outside Nashville. Last night, John Mayer played a music festival in our little town. I didn’t go (I’m more of an indoor concert with a chair and air conditioning kind of guy—which, by the way, we will have for you in Orlando… IYKYK). But it reminded me of one of his big songs: “Waiting on the World to Change.” The chorus says: Waiting on the world to change It’s hard to beat the system When we’re standing at a distance So we keep waiting...
I’m a little emotional today. On June 2, 2017, the first Thing began. I closed the day, and we had Lee Cockerell as a surprise guest—he was the VP of Operations for Walt Disney World. My friend and brand powerhouse Leigh Holt spoke as well. Since then, we’ve had Disney Legends, industry leaders, best-selling authors, circus performers, and world-renowned creators all take The Thing stage. All with one mission: to help remarkable leaders do their thing. It’s wild to think that this year marks...
