If I could tell new fathers only three things:

1. Read to your kids every night and start before they are 1 month old.
2. Eat dinner together at least 5 nights a week. No phones. No screens.
3. Control your anger.

A man who does these things will be 80% of the way there.

This is me failing and I didn't know it.

The most important leadership lesson I learned as a Marine infantry officer started about an hour after this photo was taken.

It took me a few years afterward to fully understand it, but now it's my superpower in business and as a dad 🧡

As a coach, I will say these are the best clients to work with, too.

Clients that have a bias towards action will be:
1.) Much more likely to meet their goals.
2.) Won't talk themselves in circles with excuses that will invariably frustrate you both

The sooner your understand these truths, the better off you'll be:

- You'll never please everyone.
- The world owes you nothing.
- People have time; you just aren't a priority.
- Your actions, not your thoughts, define you.
- There's no excuse for not pursuing the life you want.

Awesome Old Man Advice:
β€’ Life isn't fair
β€’ Call your mom
β€’ Stand up straight
β€’ Integrity is everything
β€’ Have a firm handshake
β€’ Look people in the eye
β€’ Choose your spouse wisely
β€’ If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right
β€’ Give people a 2nd chance, but not a 3rd

Kirby Ice House is a dope spot.

Pretty sure they'll make Alex wear a shirt, though.

Houston friends, want to kick it with a cool dude who is almost as smart and fit as me, check it out.

I, too, can't wait to see who Sahil, and team, hire for this role. Absolutely invaluable opportunity.

Sounds like Chief of Staff level access, but with more breadth. Hell, I'm kind of interested...

Reminds me a lot of Jeremy Giffon talking about being 'the guy' and staying off…

People are so desperate to feel significant that they brag about their anxiety, depression and neurosis.

They love their problems because the 'issues' protect them from scrutiny.

But the narratives that shelter them will eventually imprison them... Choose your story carefully.

Powerful mindset switch:

You’re not going through something difficult, you’re growing through something difficult.

Done right, you come out the other side stronger than before.

Pew research reports that, for men ages 18 to 34, 28% of them are living with a spouse or partner in their own home while 35% were living in the home of their parent(s).

Why do I care so much about helping dudes get dialed in?

Because men are down big right now.
