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.

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?”.

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.
