Comment below if you realize how incredibly lucky we are to be alive today..
(Especially if you’re in America, or any other free & developed nation).
This is why it’s so important not to allow the current powers at be revert back to periods of authoritarianism.
Do Not Comply.

While standing in line at airport security this morning, Erin asked me a trick question.
Fellas: You know the question I'm talking about.
The one where regardless of the answer, we log them an opportunity to bust our balls.
"Do you think I was hotter when I was pregnant?"
If I'm being honest, pregnant Erin is the fu***ng hottest she's ever been to me, from a physical standpoint.
I would drool 24/7 at her exaggerated curves, glowing skin, and massive tits.
But mom Erin brings a different package to the table.
Witnessing her become a mom has given me a new meaning of love & respect.
…. I’ve seen her take on a grueling 48-hour labor to give birth.
…………. I’ve watched her breastfeed our son for the past 7.5 months.
…………….I’ve seen her pull consecutive all-nighters caring for our baby boy.
………………….I’ve watched her stroll through an airport with a baby, a pump bag, a diaper bag, a laptop bag, and two suitcases all while responding to slack messages.
The song we danced to at our wedding was "I thought I loved you then"…
And every day, I live these words.
So sure, while you were pregnant I couldn’t keep my hands off you.
But now, I can’t keep my mind off of you. ❤️

Two brothers are sitting on the team bus after their high school football game when a single moment changes the trajectory of their lives….
The bus is positioned in a parking lot of a popular local restaurant.
The two brothers are the only ones not inside enjoying dinner because their parents live paycheck to paycheck.
Instead, they enjoy the bologna sandwiches that their mom made them that morning.
A man steps onto the bus, startling them as they bite into the bread that tastes like dirty socks from sitting inside their sweaty gym bags all day.
They realize it's Jordan, their friend and teammate Jaxsons dad.
The brothers know Jordan well, as they're both good friends with Jaxson.
"Jaxsons dad is the fu***ng s**t,"… they always say, as he's incredibly generous, more jacked than every other dad, and is at every sporting event.
Jordan tells the two brothers, "It would make me very happy if you would allow me to buy you dinner and join the rest of the team.
Here's $150.00; you guys should have a little extra for ice cream after.
No one has to know; all you have to do to thank me is do the same thing for another great kid in the future."
Although this story is made up, I've had similar moments leading to my becoming the man I am today.
And as I think about my "why."
… Why do I work so hard?
……. Why do I take so many risks?
……….. Why do I want to earn f**k-tons of money when I'm perfectly content living on a moderate income.
The answer is simple.
I want to be able to provide for not only my family but for less fortunate kids.
And I look forward to the day that I'm old, withered, and grey and a man approaches me to tell me how a single act such as this changed the trajectory of his or her life.
What’s your “why?”.

𝟱 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴/ 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝟯-𝗙𝗲𝗲𝘁: If you’re riding past trees and all you’re thinking about is “it’s going to suck if I hit a tree.”
Guess what? You’re probably going to smash into a tree.
Focus only on what you have to do TODAY, rather than trying to solve problems that might exist months down the road.
𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: You might think things are "going pretty well." But 'good is the enemy of great.'
I get it, "you like the blues," but what are you missing by not trying a black?
Tragedy in business is not in failing but instead in complacency.
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁: Skiing/ Boarding is not for the person looking for an easy payoff.
It might take you two seasons and dozens of sessions before you have an ounce of fun.
It may take two years in business before you have the skills to see a reward.
Are you ok with that?
𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂: It can be good for your ego to be the "best in the group."
But as soon as you find yourself around riders who are better than you, you become better.
𝗣𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀: When you're learning how to ski, you can avoid so many hard crashes, frustrating days, and even severe injuries if you pay to learn from an expert.
Did I miss any? 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Question for Couples: Do you guys have a weekly check-in?
If no, let’s talk about it.
…Athletes review game films.
…… Businesses have KPIs and OKRs.
….. Managers have weekly 1-1’s and end-of-week reports with their team.
………..Health & Fitness coaches hold weekly progress updates with their clients.
………Our team has weekly check-ins and regular 1-1 calls with our students.
Why is that?
Because accountability is the key ingredient to ensuring progression.
Yet most of us lack a check-in inside of our relationship.
and I have had relationship check-ins, but nothing seemed to 'stick.'
Recently we learned a process from thats been a game-changer.
It’s called T.E.A.M., and it takes roughly 10 minutes.
T - Touch
Sit down, take a deep breath, and hold hands. The touch is a signal that “we’re in this together.”
E - Education
As a nerd who loves learning, this one’s my favorite. You each share one interesting thing that you learned that day.
A fun fact, hard truth, something about ourselves, whatever.
Yesterday, I shared with Erin how scientists believe we’re more than 200,000 years overdue for Earth's magnetic field to reverse.
When this happens, it will be cataclysmic. Our energy grid will render useless, and our earth will be exposed to devastating solar flares and cosmic radiation.
Today I’m looking for something a little more positive.
A - Appreciation
You share one thing that you appreciate about the other. Big or small, you have to acknowledge.
We give bonus points for creativity, so you can’t keep using the same one.
M - Metrics
This is the tough one. Often we go about our day, and something our partner does triggers or upsets us.
But we either don't say anything because we're busy or it's uncomfortable.
Or we respond emotionally, which never goes well.
So instead of nagging or making passive-aggressive comments, you bring it to the TEAM check-in.
It's a safe space to discuss rather than argue.
Tag your partner in the comments to give this a try! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

In celebration of birthday today - A True Story: "How three half-naked dudes in her kitchen led to me asking her to be my girlfriend."
This particular tale takes us back to the summer of 2017.
Erin and I had only known one another for a couple of weeks.
I was deep into a competition prep for a men's physique show, so I was extremely rigid, and structured.
Erin on the other hand was going through a divorce and living her best life.
Her sister Megan Davis] had replaced her husband as a roommate, and for the two of them, this was their "summer of ratchet-ness."
I later found out Erin kept a list of all the guys she was talking to, and she and Megan Davis] would ascribe their nicknames, so she didn't get them mixed up.
I was sitting in an honorable third place of twelve dudes.
Anyways, on one summer day, I had asked Erin to hang out.
She agreed, and we made plans to have a bonfire at her house that evening.
As the day progressed, my mood and energy plummeted.
I was reaching the "this fu***ng sucks"" phase of prep, so I decided to bail.
I figured, "this will only make her want me more" - a tactic that has worked quite well in past casual relationships.
I texted Erin - ""Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I'm exhausted; I'm going to stay in tonight.""
She replied (two hours later) - ""Ok, no problem!""
This is right about the point that my plan back-fired.
I sent another text - "Are you sure you're cool with that? I'm sorry, my energy is awful right now, and I know I wouldn't be much fun.""
No response.
The following day I woke up feeling defeated.
"Did I just f**k this up?" - I thought.
So I did what any insecure control freak would do in this instance. I stalked Erin on social media.
As I opened her Snapchat story, my heart dropped into my shriveled prep balls.
Erin was, in a bathing suit, in her kitchen with 2-3 dudes in their boxers, making breakfast.
This was the exact moment I knew Erin was for me.
She took no s**t from me.
She didn'tdidn't ''need'' me.
Two days later, I turned my s**t around and asked her to be my girlfriend. 🤣🤣.
