I need to share this with you guys. I will write more on it later or make a video but I just want to talk to you while I'm in this. I'm processing the loss of my coach Duke Roufus. He was a great man, a legend. He taught me about fighting and life. We talked for hours on end. He could talk, and he had so much energy. Tonight I was in a rare emotional fight with my ex wife over text about the kids and it got ugly. During this i got the news. I broke down in tears. I had to keep it moving, get the kids home, and go to the skating rink where Lindsey was waiting on me to see Elliot skate. I went in, still emotional getting texts and calls. I stepped outside to take a call from a friend that also new Duke, and Lindsey calls me. A kid slapped Elliot, and somehow as I go in I miss her. She went out behind the kid to find the parent. She calls me frantic, the kids dad is in her face bowing up. With all the emotions, this guy was in a bad spot. I go outside and as I approach this man, he realizes that he is in big trouble. He completely submits and calls me sir as she yells "tell him what you were saying 30 seconds ago". I'll be honest, I was waiting for him to mess up. His smart ass kid was running his mouth. I felt the guy needed a lesson so I didn't just let him ride away, I told him what I thought. Thank god this man coward. Thank you god for giving me the strength and giving that man at least the sense to be quiet at that moment. I'm not sure I did the exact right thing, but I'm happy it did not escalate. It was the perfect storm for me to be dragged into the middle of the mess and end up in jail , sued or worse. We lost a good man today. Way too soon. He was only 55. I'm not sure I've ever experienced this range of emotions in such a short period of time. I'm just grateful that we get to live and love fully and that god gave me the strength to be a man tonight. I'll be making another tribute post about coach asap and I want to do something to honor him. Thanks for listening. Hope you get something from my experience tonight.

Anytime you have a win, post it here. ANYTHING. Get in the habbit of telling us. New deals, new customers, new goals reached, tiny wins , big wins. Could be mental, physical, relational, spiritual etc.

Monday Motivation: Fight The Devil by Arnold Schwarzenegger In his script for King Conan, John Milius wrote one of the most powerful scenes I’ve read in any script. Conan had become complacent after years on the throne. He no longer had the same hunger, and his sword had become an artifact on his wall instead of the instrument of action you remember from Conan the Barbarian. He was at that point in his life where he was content to relive his glory days instead of creating new ones. Then, one night, he’s walking through the dark halls of his castle, and Death — the devil — confronts him. The devil tells Conan he’s old and tired, and invites him to just come with him, where he can relax and rest in comfort. It awakens something in Conan, and in his old Barbarian fashion, he tells the devil, “Fuck you,” and unsheaths his sword for the first time in ages to literally fight Death himself. I won’t spoil the whole story in case someone ever decides we should finally make King Conan, but I think a lot of you, especially those of you who are aging, might see yourself in this scene. And last week, when I went to visit John Milius, I had to use his own lines on the man himself, because he needed to hear it. You know John as the writer of some of the greatest movies of all time, like Apocalypse Now, and as the director of Conan and other amazing movies. He’s a friend and a mentor, and I owe my career to him, so as he is fighting cancer and other health challenges, I feel a duty to be there to pump him up. Let’s be honest: aging can be a real pain in the ass, and seeing ourselves and our best friends get older can make us want to hide. But that’s when we have to show up for ourselves and them. John has been a real champion, fighting this cancer with courage. But I know it’s hard to go through chemo, and his nurse told me he needs to get up and walk more, so I asked him if he’s walking. He told me he didn’t feel like it, and I reminded him of what he wrote about Conan. I said: “John, that’s not you who doesn’t want to walk. That’s the devil inside you. You know better than anyone he will play tricks on you. He will tell you to lie down, to just relax, to choose comfort. That’s because he wants you sooner. But you have to say “Fuck you!” like Conan. He can have you some day, but not today. This is a battle, and you are a gladiator. It goes from morning to night.”

I apologize guys I can't pull off the call tonight, I'm technically not set up yet at my new place. I plan to get the group fully recharched in the weeks to come. We will move the call to next sunday 7pm central, June 8th. This will be your link. https://zoom.us/wb/doc/UMRW76g_TyePzrcVJZA36A Can't wait to grow with you guys this summer, sorry for the inconvenience.

What’s up men, We’re making some changes that are going to level up the group. We’re not going to have a call tonight. We’re going to change the format to a monthly q and a coaching call. We will be going over some lessons learned from our guests and taking your questions and working directly with you on them. As for the guest speaker calls, we are going to be doubling the amount of speakers so we will need to record them at times ideal for the speaker In the studio. Some of you will still get to get in on the speaker calls but it will be for those of you in the group that climb the leader board. These changes are great in my opinion. Give me some feedback and let me know what you think and any other suggestions you have . I’m running this thing with you in mind. It’s for you guys, it’s for the bigger mission we are all serving.
