Your can either 1. Focus of what’s good and the source of it. 2. Focus on problems and why you hate them. One attracts positive energy and the people you want. The other attracts negative energy and people who like to complain. Which one will you choose today?

We shrink from expressing what we genuinely enjoy because we fear judgment. We hesitate to try because we doubt the outcome—as if certainty were ever promised. We carry guilt from past mistakes and punish ourselves by dimming instead of shining. But here's the truth: We can never be certain of an outcome. We can only be certain of our effort. And effort—win or lose—always yields something valuable: a life experience, a story worth telling, a lesson worth learning. Confidence isn't knowing you'll succeed. It's knowing you'll be fine either way. Shed the shame of what you enjoy. Release the guilt from what you've done. Stop requiring certainty before you move. Try anyway. Fail anyway. Live anyway. That's confidence.

I had an experience that made me really ask the question “what is loyalty and what are you loyal to?” I’d love your thoughts on this definition I landed on: “Loyalty is committed support even when it’s hard”

Remember those frameworks I shared in the community? (Personal Brand Statement, Red/Green Flags, etc.) A bunch of you asked: "How do I actually PRACTICE these in real life?" So I'm thinking about hosting a 4-hour workshop where we: 1. Learn the frameworks 2. Practice on each other (safe) 3. Debrief over bourbon or non-alcoholic drink (celebrate) Small group. 10 people max. Half-day afternoon. Would you come if I did this? Just reply "yes" or "no" (I'm trying to gauge interest before I book a venue). P.S. If you say yes, I'll give you first access when I open registration next week.

Your weeks may feel long and sometimes even stressful. That’s why on Fridays I often like to reflect on what happened this week that I’m grateful for. Comment below 1 simple something that your grateful for (other that the week being over).
