Where Dr. Tom Webb sparks your curiosity and inspires action!

Hey Reader,

For the last two years, I’ve had a mission.

Convince my wife that we should buy a limo.

Not because I’m trying to become a celebrity, or I think I'm cool, my kids keep me humble there. But because family vacations are getting wildly expensive, and I’ve started to hate the idea that we grind for 51 weeks… just to break the bank for one week of memories.

So I found a limo I liked. I called the owner. Got my wife 60% on board, and we were off to Tennessee. Here is what happened ...

If we only allow ourselves to feel alive one week a year, we’ve built a life that requires escape. And that’s not the goal.

The goal is to live a #BOOMlife where we take action to #ElevateTheEveryday.

Because for us, the “everyday” is where the real magic is hiding. Our kids are 20, 17, and 13. Time is moving faster every year, and I’m realizing something I don’t love admitting:

It's running out. We have fewer moments left than we think. So instead of waiting for the next big vacation, we’re trying something different. Something memorable. Something that turns a normal Friday night into a story we’ll tell forever.

A limo. And honestly, that limo cost me less than a 7-night condo rental in Gulf Shores. But the value isn’t in the vehicle. It’s in what it creates: music, lights, laughter, friends piled in, kids being kids, and us getting front-row seats to memories that would never happen if we kept saying, “Maybe next year.”

So here’s my challenge for you this week:

Don’t just plan one big break per year. Build small, joyful jolts into your normal life.

Find your excitement.
Fuel it.
Then multiply it.

Joy will follow -- I promise!

Onward >>>

Tom

04.15.2026 IGNITE Where Dr. Tom Webb sparks your curiosity and inspires action! Reader, As leaders, we are often like first responders rushing to the scene of an emergency. A problem erupts. Somebody needs help. Something is off track. Emotions are high. The pressure is on. So we do what leaders do. We triage the situation, take decisive action, and work to stabilize the moment. Then we hope future incidents can be prevented through awareness, training, and better habits. But this week, I...

04.08.2026 IGNITE Where Dr. Tom Webb sparks your curiosity and inspires action! Yo Reader, This past Monday, my family and I headed to St. Louis to make the most of a day off. As we drove toward my daughter’s favorite shopping area, we passed a gym called House of Pain. Now let me be fair. I know absolutely nothing about the business. It may be the best gym in the state. Maybe the trainers are tremendous, the equipment is elite, and the smoothies are life-changing. I’m only using the name as...
