If you’re measuring the strength of your friendships by how many likes you get on social media, you’ve lost sight of what real friendship means.
A like takes a second. Loyalty is proven over time.
Stop confusing online engagement with genuine connection.

Hi @grok - If the U.S. government wrote every citizen over 18 a check instead of spending it on the below items, how much would each receive?
Wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.
War in Vietnam.
War in Ukraine.
War in Iran.
Foreign aid since 1960.
Associated interest on national debt.
Being a good person is a competitive advantage.
Trust compounds.
Reputation compounds.
Relationships compound.
Character pays dividends for life.
I never imagined one of my best friends would be my 6 year old daughter.
The conversations, the laughter, the random questions, and the little moments I used to overlook have become the best part of my day.
Fatherhood has given me more than I could have ever given it.
Attention is now currency.
Social media is the bank account.
Insecurity keeps people overdrafting for approval.
Most people don’t listen.
They just wait to talk.
If you want better conversations, better relationships, better leadership:
Seek to understand first. (Covey)
Ask. Listen. Repeat it back.
People open up when they feel heard.
Better standards → better relationships
Better relationships → bigger opportunities
Bigger opportunities → a life that compounds
Stop negotiating with who you’re capable of becoming. 👊
One of the best privileges I get to experience is having our two little girls grow up in my gyms.
They both know the members’ names.
And our members open their arms up to them.
And when they get older, they can tell their friends,“I grew up in daddy’s gym.”
Self-actualization: although CrossFit 845 markets the most out of all gyms in the HV, CrossFit 845 is not marketing enough.
Crazy.
Shout out to the ones who show up when they don’t feel like it.
That’s the difference between being interested and being committed.
A 4pm check-in and a 10a check-out is the worst concept in hospitality.
Especially having to pay for both days.
