Seeing Ahead of the Moment

“This is the guy I was telling you about. If he says something to you, just know that it’s probably twenty years ahead of the game—and it will prove itself. I remember when he told me I was diabetic the moment he met me. I thought he was full of it. I resisted it. As a doctor, I wanted tests to prove things, and I didn’t run them because I thought he was so out there. That was twenty years ago. He was right. So again, if he tells you something, make note of it. Listen carefully—because he’s right.” –Dr. Turo

That was said about me.

One of the most frustrating parts of my life has been seeing what’s coming—knowing that a course correction is needed—while also knowing that most people won’t hear it until things reach a critical point in their lives.

What makes it even harder is that I can see it for myself, too.

And so much of my frustration points right back at me.

That’s actually why I’ve finally put together a real plan of action to deliver results in what we now call Ahead of My Future.

You see, this has always been part of me.

But there was a moment when I consciously turned it off.

I was sixteen years old, on a road trip with friends from school.

We stopped at a Stop & Shop to grab snacks and take a bathroom break. As I walked out of the store, I could see—clear as day—that we were about to be involved in a car accident on the highway.

I turned to my friend, the owner of the car and the driver, and said, “Let me take over driving for now.”

He said no.

I didn’t think much of it in the moment.
Three miles down the road, we were in an accident.

Thankfully, none of us was seriously injured. But in that moment, I made a decision that would shape decades of my life.

I decided I didn’t want to be that aware.

For lack of a better word, it scared me.

It never stopped the ability—but I consciously decided not to talk about it.

Not to reveal what I could see—for myself, for others, or for the world. Especially when it involved danger or uncomfortable situations.

So for decades, I lived through countless moments where things unfolded exactly as I had seen them—sometimes only minutes before they happened.

I remember one of my most respected consultants once asking me,
“Are you still playing victim to that?”

And maybe I was.

Because imagine knowing things like:

  • You’re about to be carjacked… and then bam.

  • Your business is about to be burglarized… bam.

  • Your next client will be exactly seven minutes late.

  • The washing machine is about to break.

The “crazy-making” part of it still sends me, even now, into moments of self-doubt. That familiar inner spiral of: Who do you think you are? And if you can see all of this, why don’t you stop the really big things? Why not national, world-class events?

But there’s another side to this.

This way of seeing has also given me extraordinary insight into beautiful things.

It’s how I understand the beauty industry the way I do.

How I can sense what peaks a person’s curiosity.

How I can recognize what lies ahead for someone—even when they can’t yet see it themselves.

It’s how I’ve been able to spot trends before they arrive.

Feel shifts before they’re named.

Recognize futures that are quietly waiting for permission.

And that’s what Ahead of My Future is really about.

Not prediction.
Not mysticism.
Not hype.

It’s about helping people hear what they already know—before life forces them to listen.
