Intention = attention directed to an object of knowledge. To succeed, set short/long-term goals with target dates. Creating intentions is the best recipe for consistent achievement. Great session at @WEWS w/ the intentional and successful @KristinVolk.

In a digitally automated world, connection is often sacrificed for speed. But viewers haven’t changed. They still watch to help protect, live better, and enhance their family's lives. To connect, anchors must prep & deliver as storytellers.

Fans want to sneak backstage, but get disappointed when it isn't pristine. As a showrunner, I keep the "messy" backstage life from affecting the "flawless" onstage performance. Great night at @nashof

Evolve or be eaten. Whether starting or already the "top dog", success is never final. You must run faster than the lion. Great memory coaching at @NC5 Nashville w/ the incomparable @VickiYatesNC5. Evolve your career—check out my book on Amazon: amazon.com/Loyalty-Trust-Suc…

THE CAKMIS CODEX: "Those who can't do, teach" is wrong. Teaching is the art of passing on lasting knowledge & saving the planet through skill. 🏛️🚀
Tennessee Williams taught me that mastery = discipline at the typewriter, every day. 🎭✨ 1979 archival moment.

CAMERA CHOREOGRAPHY: Viewers want an anchor with the approachability to say "hello" and the moxie to lead in a crisis. CC creates pace, but it also creates COMMAND. Great session at @ABC10 w/ @AlexBellTV & @JeannieNguyen_. My book on Amazon amazon.com/Loyalty-Trust-Suc…

THE CAKMIS CODEX: Your subconscious is powerful, and it obeys. 🎙️🛡️
Say "I can't" and you won't. Criticize success and you'll never have it. Exalt your spirit, give 110%, and relish the moment. 🏛️✨
Great coaching visit at @wkyc. Here w/ 3x Emmy winner @maureenkyle.

CAMERA CHOREOGRAPHY: Proximity, framing, & timing are keys to impact. Producers, talent, & production must move as one to lead the viewer forward. Great session prepping a new morning open at @NC5 w/ @NikkiDeeRay, @benhillnc5, & @NC5_RebeccaS. #CameraChoreography #WTVF #TVNews

BEYOND THE SCRIPT: The moment a camera is focused, bias is introduced. Every word and frame shapes a story’s truth. The goal? Don't just inform—EMPOWER and ENRICH. Great 2018 memory at @WFAA w/ @roncorning & @karasewellnews. Intentionality is everything. 🎙️📺 #BeyondTheScript

THE ANCHOR ARCHIVE: You don't have to be content to be happy. You wanted the job, so do the job! Don't let the pursuit of "what's next" rob you of joy today. You are who you are right now.
Great coaching session @ABC10 w/ the incomparable award-winning @LoraPainterKXTV

THE CAKMIS CODEX: Mastery isn’t a comfort zone. It’s a controlled burn.
Technique is the runway, but flight requires risk. Pictured w/ the legendary @tonybrownenterprises (100 #1 hits), a man who knows that presence is the real currency of mastery. #TheCakmisCodex #TonyBrown

CAMERA CHOREOGRAPHY: Square up to the camera to stay approachable and commanding. Shots must end at eye level to keep the pace and viewer trust. Great 2020 workshop at @WINKNews w/ @amandahalltv & @russmccaskey to sharpen the 'News at 4 PM'. 🌴✨

Talent is a gift, but technique is earned.
W/out technique, talent is just a tail wagging the dog. On #BigBangTheory set w/ @kaleycuoco—one of the most talented comedians & actresses in the business. Study her & you’re in a master class of technique and skill. Hone your craft!

CAKMIS CODEX: Champions don’t wait for victory to define them. They define themselves first. Heavyweight champ Ken Norton once told me: "Once you win, you're not allowed to lose. It's what I do. I win." Stop rehearsing failure. Start living in alignment w/ the outcome you expect.
