A Christmas morning reflection… 95% By the time your child turns 18, you've spent ~95% of the time you will ever spend with them in your lifetime. There are specific windows, much shorter than you care to admit, during which certain people and relationships will occupy your life. You may have only one more summer with all of your siblings. Two more trips with that old group of friends. A few more years with your grandpa. A handful of encounters with that coworker you love. One more long walk with your parents. If you fail to appreciate these windows, they will quickly disappear. Time Wealth is about an awareness of these windows. But more importantly, it’s about taking action against that awareness. It's about recognizing that you are in more control of your time than you realize. That you can take actions to create time with the people you love most. That you can bend these curves. That 95% is an average—and you’ve never wanted to be average in anything your entire life. So, show up to that recital. Plan that trip with old friends. Grab that quick coffee. Go on that walk with your parents. Have that meal with your sibling. In the end, it's not about the journey, it's not about the destination, it's about the company. The people along the way. Cherish the people and the rest will fall into place as it should.

"Bring manufacturing back to USA." Any of these in USA? I don't know of any and I'm looking.
This is a room with >2000 CNC mills near Shenzhen that I've been inside. The mills are arranged in cells with multiple tended by a robot on tracks, so there are very few people working on the floor. There are dozens like this in China. What's the biggest similar facility in the US?

Are we crazy to build in public? Excerpt from my last therapy session... Therapist - "So Russell, is this "Build in Public" in the room with us right now?" Russell - " Uhhh, Yeah it's standing right behind you." Therapist -> Turning slowly to the right " OH SH&T!"

Full, unedited @SecWar speech at @HadrianInc. SW Hegseth gets it - we will out manufacture and out scale our adversaries. Industrial Power is National Power - and we are proud, every day, to lead the charge to Reindustrialize America. Peace through Strength.

The Italian Job: ViDAR took to the chopper! During recent flight tests at Taranto-Grottaglie Airport in Italy, ViDAR successfully integrated onto @LDO_Helicopters' SW-4 to autonomously detect, classify, and track targets across land and maritime environments. ViDAR consistently recognized both moving and static targets at maximum ranges in real time, demonstrating how Shield AI’s passive, wide-area sensing enhances ISR and SAR missions for NATO allies and customers worldwide and enabling future integration across Leonardo’s fleet. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war.

Quick time lapse of a 600 Ton Drawing Press being placed at our DFW facility... @Omega_Morgan pros in action. Two more presses get dropped in the foundation pit just to the right of this one... Both presses are more than 2x the tonnage of this press. Go big or go home...

Awaken to the possibilities. Today marks your opportunity to step beyond what you thought was possible. Your current situation is not your final destination. The joy is in the journey. Every breakthrough begins with a single moment of clarity, when you realize that your current limitations aren't boundaries, but opportunities to learn and grow. The only question is: Will you take the first step today, or continue wondering "what if" tomorrow? Read this and be reminded to take the step, do the action, and move forward to a new version of yourself. Do the impossible and show the world what you are capable of. I am confident that it is amazing.
