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.
Nashville proved it: The right room changes everything
|
Nashville, showed up yesterday, and what happened in that room was powerful. Mike Brennan challenged us to consider what we can do with a single day. Ryan Holck helped us uncover the core story that communicates the value of our work. Heather Holmes broke down how to capture the media’s attention and get our messages heard. And I shared how to rise above the noise—the noise of the world and the internal noise that convinces us to stay quiet. But the most important part wasn’t only what happened onstage. It was what happened across the tables: honest conversations, meaningful connections, and leaders realizing they don’t have to build alone. That’s what happens when you put the right people in the right room at the right time. If you missed Nashville, you really did miss something special. But you haven’t missed your next opportunity. FOMO usually doesn’t happen because we weren’t invited. It happens because we didn’t clear our schedules, block the dates, and make getting into the room a priority. Florida, we’re coming for you next week. The Thing Roadshow: LOUDER is coming to Orlando on September 23 and Tampa on September 25. We’re bringing an incredible lineup of leaders to help entrepreneurs, business owners, visionaries, and creators gain clarity, share what they bring to the table, and connect with the people who need to hear it. This isn’t performative networking, and it isn’t a day-long sales pitch. It’s one focused day of practical strategies, honest conversations, and meaningful connections with people building work that matters. Right room. Right people. Right information. Right time. Don’t wait until the photos are posted to wish you had been there. Clear your schedule, block the date, and get in the room. Orlando Roadshow — September 23 Tampa Roadshow — September 25 And while you have your calendar open, now is the time to make plans for our flagship three-day experience, The Thing Orlando, happening November 13–15, 2026. The Roadshow gives you one powerful day. The Thing Orlando gives us three days to go deeper—to sharpen what’s working, solve what isn’t, and build relationships that can change the direction of your business and your future. Don’t put off registering and discover later that the experience you wanted is sold out. REGISTER FOR THE THING ORLANDO Your work matters. Your message matters. You were never meant to carry it alone. This community—and this room—can change your future. Get in the room.

Three months ago, I was in the ICU, not sure what was ahead. I had just had an ambulance ride, which I still have no memory of. What I did know was that the event had started 9 years before, and was going on without me. I was supposed to be on stage, and instead I was fighting for my life. I was 100% dependent on my community to pull off the event I dreamed of, and the medical team to take care of me! I was living what I’ve been preaching for years. If you want to go fast, go alone, but if...
Leslie and I talking with the Big Cheese. It’s hard to believe it’s already February. It’s been just over two months since I was released from the hospital, and we’ve learned a lot since then. One of the biggest lessons is that healing from sepsis doesn’t follow a simple or fast timeline. Post-Sepsis Syndrome is real, and getting my body back to “normal” has taken far longer than we ever imagined. We spent most of January in Florida doing exactly what doctors recommended. Rest. Heal. Breathe....
Greetings from the frozen tundra that is Nashville. I’m back from sabbatical in Florida and we are currently on day 5 of being iced in. Based on the weather, we should have stayed a few days longer. I'm still healing and trying to get my strength and energy back. Some days I feel like I can run through a wall, and some days I feel like the wall ran through me. While we were gone, we spent time relaxing and dreaming about the next year. A few friends from the Thing community even joined us for...
