Last week, I had the honor of celebrating my honey in one of the most beautiful places in the world to me: Puerto Rico. When I step into a new culture, a new land, a new space, I see it as stepping into someone’s home. Puerto Rico is stunning — not just the beaches or the sights, but the people. Their hearts are big, their resilience unshakable, their love for each other, their community, their land, and their ancestry runs so deep. Yes, you feel the history, the pain, the calculated systems that have made life harder — but above all, you feel the strength.

I never want to just be a tourist in these lands. I want to become part of the living ecosystem, to shift how I move and be there. I make it a priority to support local, to find the small family-owned places, to step aside in narrow streets for locals, to show respect in small and big ways. Because when you show up humbly, with intention and connection, the land responds — and it’s a completely different energetic experience.

And to be in a place this alive and generous with a man who holds those same beautiful, open, giving, grounded, and powerful qualities… it’s heaven on earth.

Not every trip is smooth; growth always shows up when you let it. But we moved through it, we learned, we expanded.

Happy 40th birthday, baby. I hope you feel celebrated not just today, but all year, in every way. I hope this new decade reminds you of the incredible human you are, how deeply loved you are, and how much your presence matters to so many. I will keep hoping and praying that the justice, love, and care you pour into the world comes pouring back into you — and that you continue to grow into the most beautiful, expansive version of you.

Te amo. Always. 💛✨

Just taking a moment to brag on my honey—because wow, this past month he’s been on fire.🔥

From being the emcee at KU’s Jayhawk Forever event in Kansas City (alongside the incredible @jilldorseyhall ), helping raise more money than ever before for future Jayhawks and scholarships…

To the following week, where he emceed for @kansaskclub K-Club, honoring KU student-athlete alumni with that same deep grace and authenticity…

To just yesterday, standing as a featured speaker at the Prairie Village Town Hall Diversity Forum, sharing his immigrant story and honoring his grandfather’s legacy…

Every single time he takes the mic, he doesn’t just speak—he moves people. He doesn’t lead from ego or intellect. His words flow straight from the heart.

There’s a difference between people who speak at you and people who speak to your soul. Brandon does the latter.

I know I speak in spirit-language a lot, but what he carries? It’s something sacred. When he speaks, the energy moves from his heart, rises up through his voice, and pours into everyone around him.

He’s one of the best storytellers I’ve ever known. Even when he’s talking about things I don’t normally gravitate toward—like football—he draws you in. His joy, his passion, his clarity, and his gift for making people feel seen… it’s rare.

And beyond the stage and mic—he’s an incredible partner and a nurturing, intentional father. The way he pours into our boys—teaching them to be strong and gentle, bold and emotionally open—it brings me to tears.

To know Brandon is to love him.
To listen to him is to be moved.
To work with him is to witness pure magic.

If you’re ever looking for an emcee or a keynote speaker who can captivate a room, uplift hearts, and weave storytelling with purpose—this is your guy.

Pure. Joyful. Magic.
@brando_mac — thank you for being you. We see you. We’re all better because of you. Te amo❤️
