160th SOAR MH-60 making a rooftop troop delivery without needing to land or fast rope. Once again we see why the Night Stalkers are unquestionably the best helicopter pilots on the planet.

If you've never cut firewood with a crosscut saw, an axe, and a maul, you can't really appreciate the realities of modern society. It's kind of stunning how many calories it takes. If a guy did this to heat his cabin every day, you sure as hell would not need CrossFit to exist on this planet. #PursuitWithCliff

I’m 43 days into: - no alcohol - no ordering out for dinner - no junk food - no pizza (this is by far the hardest) - exercising every day The main thing I’ve been trying to do is lose weight, but I realized something way more important I wasn’t expecting All I was doing when I decided to get drunk when the weekend came, or hitting the easy button and getting DoorDash instead of making dinner.. Was taking shortcuts to avoid pain and discomfort. I’ve already noticed way more clearly what my trigger points are for anxiety and stress And now I’m resolving my issues w much more clarity and I feel like a more resilient person I said I’d do this for 75 days but I may do longer Cc @pinpulleddrmf LFG

Asking candidates to send a video is the best hiring filter in the world. More than 50% won't send one. The ones who do, show you how they present themselves before an interview.

The US Air Force’s 24th Special Tactics Squadron (24th STS) is the service’s elite Tier 1 Special Mission Unit under JSOC, based at Pope Field in North Carolina. Drawn from the top Combat Controllers (CCTs), Pararescuemen (PJs), Special Reconnaissance, and Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) operators, these airmen rarely deploy as a standalone squadron. Instead, they embed with units like Delta Force and DEVGRU to provide critical airpower integration, joint terminal attack control (JTAC), personnel recovery, and battlefield medical expertise on the nation’s most sensitive and high-risk missions. Known for their “First There” ethos and quiet professionalism, 24th STS operators have supported operations from the streets of Mogadishu to modern counter terrorism campaigns, earning a reputation as indispensable enablers who bring precision air support and life-saving capabilities to the tip of the spear.

I was leading Heinz Ketchup when Dip N Squeeze came out. It was a massive upgrade from ketchup packets. Consumers LOVED it. Problem was we couldn’t get any of the big fast-food players on board. Dip N Squeeze was 3-5x (I forget the exact numbers) more expensive than packets, and they were free for customers. The key question was “does having Dip N Squeeze drive more volume?”, thus justifying the incremental cost. It was nearly impossible to prove. Every penny matters to these operators, so every sales meeting was the same. “We love it, but no.” Chick Fil A was the only yes. They didn’t need “proof”. They operated under the assumption simply giving their customers a better experience would pay off in the long run. Incremental cost be damned. Their conviction was impressive. They viewed every decision thru the lens of their customer. A much different approach from the other big players. I assume they treated countless other decisions the same way. This was ~15 years ago. CFA has been on quite the run since. (separate but related, I believe being a private co is a massive competitive advantage for CFA)

expect a lot more of this in the coming months

I got another one for you, was holding back because of the hunting posts lol

This is why I say that Level 4 ($1M-$10M) is the no man's land of wealth. At some point you could work twice as hard and it barely makes a dent.

@pinpulleddrmf looks like he just got 90 days clean. I look like his sponsor who says things like “one day at a time, brother” but just relapsed on Zyn and black coffee. @CliffGry looks like he’s been awake since 2009 and has opinions about outboard motors.
