Great evening getting hope that things will eventually get on track. Joe Biden is a jackass and something needs to be done. Thank you, Dave Duquette.

Wow…cool!
“Dave had the pleasure of speaking to a group of formerly incarcerated students at Cypress College last week. They sent him this beautiful jamboard full of their feedback as a thank you! I loved their comments and I thought I’d share. “

Finally able to share my conversation with the great Tony f’n Robbins
If you don’t know who he is, I’m thinking he’s probably the number one inspirational speaker ever, or something like that. See below for more info.
To me, the takeaway is to learn to live for today. To forgive yourself and others, and move on to the next moment.
Back in the day…
still battling injuries and dumb stuff. Just FYI…this photo is from 2012–before a lot of things.
So today I’m going to start sharing pieces of my African tribal art collection
I really don’t know where to begin, so I will just take a stab with this horse rider figure from the Bamana tribe of Mali. All of the items I’ll be sharing are antiques, which is what my personal collection is made up of. I don’t always know a lot about my pieces and why they exist. The general rule of thumb is that these items were made for tribal use by diviners and representative of revered ancestors. This figure is quite valuable due to its quality and rarity.
While pieces from my personal collection tend to be outside of most folks’ budget, I do have thousands of objects that are in the $30 to $300 range, and if you’re interested, visit the warehouse/show room in Barton/Eagle Creek.
Today we met with a giant at the LaGrange African art warehouse
A giant, physically, and a giant in the business world. Michael Richardson of Dark Horse. A local icon. He was a lot of fun—seemed to enjoy the African art and we had an amazing conversation. I think things are gonna happen…stay tuned.
It was wonderful sharing my story with Kimi Culp

Have I mentioned that I’m the proud owner
Of the largest African tribal art collection in the United States? I call it Discover African Art We have thousands of masks, statues, bronzes, textiles, furniture pieces – you name it.
DAA is more about selling the decorative and fun pieces rather than the snobby collector pieces, which I also have many of. I am happy to discuss this dynamic if you’re curious. I’m also kinda proud of the fact that I have donated a large number of pieces to Central City Concern. Folks who visit their offices will see great examples (pics below). I feel strongly that it makes a difference in the community, particularly for the African-Americans they serve. Hardly anybody has seen this kind of material before.
But just because it’s African doesn’t mean a non-African can’t appreciate it. I was drawn to it originally back in 2015 when I discovered eBay. I didn’t even think about skin color or culture. I just liked the art—and still do.
