Your kids don't need you to have all the answers. They need to see you keep learning. Admit when you're wrong. Apologize when you lose your patience. Try again when things don't go your way. You're not just teaching them how to succeed. You're teaching them how to be human.

One of the easiest traps to fall into is sacrificing the life you have for the life you think you're supposed to want. A bigger house. A better title. More money. More recognition. Ambition is a good thing. Just make sure you're climbing toward something you actually value.

A lot of fatherhood is doing things nobody will applaud. Showing up tired. Keeping your promises. Being patient when frustrated. Making time when you're busy. It's not glamorous. But those little decisions, repeated over years, are how you build a family.

We've made it incredibly easy to avoid discomfort. • Bored? Scroll. • Stressed? Drink. • Tired? Order in. • Lonely? Get online. But a life spent avoiding discomfort eventually becomes pretty uncomfortable.

Parenting is a lot of asking your kids to develop qualities you're still working on yourself. Patience. Discipline. Kindness. Resilience. The trick is remembering they're learning from how you practice those things, not just how you preach them.

A comedian, possibly the biggest comedian in the world right now, spent 7 minutes mostly making fun of himself, but made one comment about women’s gym attire and now half the country is mad? You know you can just opt out of the divisive news cycle and go build something, right?

Went to gymnastics with my daughter tonight. She got bumped to the next level. Lyla: “You told me to ask what was required to move up. Then, we practiced those skills, then I told them I was ready and demonstrated it. And I did it!” Me: “That’s how jobs work, too.”

Too many of you think you’re going to achieve joy, or some level of status, through suffering. All you’re really doing is building a habit of suffering. Instead, focus on the things where you enjoy the process. Then, the joy precedes the success.

It's surprisingly easy to build a good life. It's surprisingly difficult to avoid the thousand little distractions trying to pull you away from it.

It's amazing how many problems become more manageable after: • A long walk • A hard workout • A good night's sleep • A conversation with someone you love Not every problem, but more than you'd think.

Apparently they fixed the algorithm and mutuals are showing up again, so I figured I'd poke my head back in. I haven't been around much since last summer—mostly just living life in the real world. Started a new job (coming up on a year already 🤯), chasing three young kids, coaching youth sports, and selling sports cards with my oldest. If it's been a while since we've interacted, say hi. I'd genuinely love to hear what you've been up to.

My wife sending me houses on Zillow despite me saying we cannot give up this 3% interest rate.

It's funny how many things become luxuries as you get older. An empty calendar. A full night's sleep. A long conversation with an old friend. A Saturday with nowhere to be.
