On today’s call, @Jake Bilbo dropped a gem: “Don’t take yourself too serious.” Here’s the deal — perfectionism is ego.The ego says, “If I’m perfect, then I’m somebody.”But perfect isn’t even possible. Jesus taught grace. Buddha taught letting go. Being hard on yourself won’t make you better — it just traps you in the same loop. Real confidence is being cool with your flaws while still chasing growth. When you stop trying to look perfect, you actually get more real, more confident, and build deeper connections. So how do you balance it? Action List: 1. Laugh at yourself — humor kills ego. 2. Focus on process, not perfection — small wins stack. 3. Drop negative self-talk fast — get back on the horse. 4. Separate worth from results — you’re more than your current scorecard. 5. Make growth the game — not being flawless, but being better. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being real, relentless, and willing to grow.

This week I got hit with a hard truth: I am the ceiling. John Maxwell calls it the Law of the Lid. Your team, your students, your family… they will never rise higher than you do. If I’m a 6 mentally, spiritually, financially — then the Warriors Order is capped at a 6. That’s a duty I can’t take lightly. I realized something else. Leadership isn’t just big speeches or running a group call. It’s one-on-one. It’s opening up, having hard conversations, and admitting where you’re wrong. And that’s not easy for me — communication has never been my strong point. But this week I sat down with men, face to face, and talked through the tough stuff. That’s leadership too. So here’s my challenge to you: pick one relationship this week and have the hard conversation. Reach out to your brother, father, son, or friend. Admit where you’ve fallen short. Sit down and lay it all out. That’s what leaders do. Let us know below who you need to do this with or who you've recently had an important talk with. And remember — this is a team effort. I’m looking for leaders. Invite a friend into the group who’s ready to step up. Don’t forget: Tuesday at 12PM CST we go live right here in the group with the new Skool feature. The topic is Identity. This is where real transformation begins. Don’t miss it. (Set a reminder, this will be a life changing call) And if you’re ready to take it further — to challenge yourself, build confidence, gain massive clarity — then join the Unchained Challenge.

Don't take my word for it. I've been researching creatine all morning and I've decided to experiment with 20g per day myself and I want my fighters on it as well. Why? ... energy. More energy for workouts and more energy for the brain. Why so much? bc your muscles are going to hog the first 5-10g. Stuies show that when you go over 5 and up to 20, you bounce back faster and it can even negate effects of sleep deprivation. Here's the best video I 've seen on it below. Let me know what you think, lets start a discussion. If you have mental demands and or stress , this could be a game changer... and I know we all do. If you are learning and growing then you need the extra help with the brain. Best thing is, theres no long term effects. Join the convo in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHEoC839R4Q
