Wise Words.

“The rule that surpasses all rules is that you must be connected, willing to see what’s in front of you, and willing to move if what you’re doing isn’t working.”

Terrence Real

The Right Group Chat.

Being in the right group chat will change your life. I know this firsthand.

This week, we launched the Man Morning 10-Day Group Chat Challenge with 6 men from all over the country.

Every day, we connect, set clear intentions, answer thought-provoking prompts, celebrate wins, and push each other to be better.

The results? Already life-changing. The energy, accountability, and growth have been off the charts.

The Time My Dad Cried.

Recently, I was on a run when the song "Remember Me" from Coco shuffled on.

My kids love that movie, and I get why. It’s beautiful.

Hearing that song took me straight back to a moment with my father.

It was years ago. I was visiting him in Kentucky.

It was early morning, and we were sitting together, drinking coffee.

Out of nowhere, my dad looked at me, his eyes welling up, and said, “Don’t ever forget about me.”

For a man who rarely showed emotion, it caught me completely off guard.

I cracked an awkward joke to ease the tension, but that moment stuck with me.

My father passed away two years ago after a long battle with dementia.

And I haven't forgotten him. Not for a moment.

I think about that day often, especially when I reflect on something David Deida wrote in The Way of the Superior Man.

There’s a chapter called "Live as if Your Father Were Dead."

It’s not about being disrespectful or forgetting where you come from.

It’s about letting go of the weight of their expectations, whether those expectations were real or just imagined.

It’s about freeing yourself from living someone else’s version of your life.

My father isn’t here anymore, but his lessons are. His influence will always be with me.

He lives on in the way I speak, in how I care for my family, in the way I face hard days.

The real challenge, I think, is to remember our fathers in all that we do.

To take the lessons (good and bad), the love, the memories, and carry them forward while still making our own way.

As long as we’re still here, a part of them is too.

By living our best lives, we honor them and make sure they’re never forgotten.

Read. Listen. Watch.

The truth about undecided voters. When your wife is on her phone a lot. What does “win at all costs” mean? Loving this book from my favorite graphic novelist. Borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and more for free! Welp, I started tracking my food (and even weighing it).
