NFL camps start next week. After a decade coaching players and coaches in this league, I've noticed something:
My most accomplished clients?
They're not just talented. They're obsessed.
Psychologist Ellen Winner calls it "rage to master." A deep, internal drive to understand, create, solve. Not for applause. Not for trophies. But because there's still room to grow.
Every one of these folks has it.
In fact, every truly accomplished person I've worked with has it. It's less about being the best. And mo...
AI may be the future.
But it's not how we move forward.
AI can plan your workout.
Write your outline.
Track your progress.
But sending the hard email?
Picking up the phone to apologize?
Getting back up after the loss and trying again tomorrow?
Trusting your gut. Honoring that deep desire. Risk looking foolish. Holding hope without proof.
I could go on…
These don't compute.
But they're what make us human.
And for most of us,
They're the only way forward.

You don’t pick a shirt based on who you want to become.
You pick it based on how you feel.
Cold? Grab the hoodie.
Confident? Maybe the black one.
Lazy Sunday? Hello, stretched-out tee with the mystery stain.
Shirts are for moods.
Identity is not.
The problem is, most people treat their commitments like shirts.
They wear them only when they feel like it.
But if you only write when you feel inspired...
Only lead when you feel confident...
Only train when you feel motivated...
Then your future is alw...
We salute you.
You’re not crazy.
You’re not lost.
You’re just ahead.
You’re writing before the deal.
Training before the call.
Working while nobody’s watching.
People might not get it.
Not yet.
Too early. Too bold. Too much.
But that’s exactly why it matters.
You didn’t wait to be picked.
You chose yourself.
You don’t need a green light.
You’re already moving.
You’ve got vision with calluses.
Belief with receipts.
Ideas backed by motion.
The absolute moxie—
we salute you.
It’s lonely som...
I’ve given away hundreds of dominoes over the years.
Lately, I’ve been carrying one around in my pocket.
Why?
Because every domino is a promise.
Not of strength. Of possibility.
An upright domino stores potential energy—quiet, invisible, waiting.
And if it stays upright, all that energy stays locked inside.
But tip it over, and the story begins.
Here’s the physics most people miss:
A falling domino can topple something 1.5 times its size.
The first one knocks over something the size of a dec...
You see something others don’t.
A vision. An idea. A way to serve the people around you.
It lives in you—and only you.
But no one is asking you to bring it to life. No one is knocking on your door, insisting you build, create, or share what only you can see.
So you wait.
You wait to feel inspired, to be pulled forward by some external force. You assume motivation comes before action.
But that’s not how it works.
The Fuel Doesn’t Kick In Until the Engine’s Running
Think about it.
