One of the most valuable habits I've developed is taking a few minutes every morning to reflect on yesterday's gains. It's easy to focus on what's still missing, what we haven't accomplished, or how far we still have to go. That's what The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy challenged me to rethink. In this new Living Strong Method video, I share how this simple daily practice has changed the way I begin each morning and why it's become an important part of my life. My hope is that it encourages you to pause, recognize your progress, and build today's confidence on yesterday's gains. I'd love for you to watch the video and then join the conversation below. Discussion Question: What is one gain from yesterday that you're proud of, and how will it help you move forward today?

Everyone has one. Maybe you're trying to grow a business. Maybe you're raising a family. Maybe you're starting something new. Maybe you're looking for direction, encouragement, or simply another set of eyes. Or perhaps you're not even sure what you need. That's okay. Just ask. Share your Big Ask in the comments below. No question is too small. No question is silly. I'd be honored to walk alongside you and share what I've learned. Relationships before transactions. Always. Live Strong. 🥋💙🙏 — Peter

Over the past several months, as I've been visiting local businesses, spotlighting their stories, and simply asking, "How can I help?", I've been collecting lessons learned, ideas, and stories that I thought might be helpful to other business owners. Today, I quietly added a new space inside the Living Strong Tribe called the Living Strong Business Circle. It's still very small, and that's exactly how I want it. My hope is that it becomes a place where local business owners can encourage one another, share ideas, learn from real stories, and strengthen our communities together. No gimmicks. No magic formulas. Just relationships, service, community, and prosperity. The first story in the library is the story of Angelo's Larchmont Pizzeria and some of the lessons we've learned together over the past six months. Every business has a story. And every story has the power to strengthen a community. Thank you to all the amazing business owners I've had the privilege of meeting and learning from. I have a feeling this is just the beginning.

This morning, I woke up at 4:00 a.m. I washed up, made my coffee with heavy cream, sat down in the quiet, and watched a video by Dr. Benjamin Hardy about “future self” and 10X growth. As I listened, something hit me deeply. Tomorrow, I turn 65 years old. And as I move toward that milestone, I find myself reflecting even more deeply on the next 20 years of my life. Truthfully, this is not new for me. For much of my life, I’ve carried what I used to call “foresight.” Even growing up in the Bronx, I often found myself looking ahead — imagining where certain choices, habits, environments, and decisions could eventually lead. For years now, especially at the end of each year, I’ve taken time to reflect honestly: Where am I? Where did I come from? Where do I want to be 12 months from now? And what must I do today to move toward that future? So when I heard Dr. Benjamin Hardy speak about allowing your future self to dictate your present decisions, something resonated deeply with me. Because in many ways, that mindset has quietly been part of my Living Strong journey for decades. Not from fear. Not from slowing down. But from awareness. As a grandfather… as a martial artist… as a teacher… as a man who has lived through struggle, reinvention, pain, joy, purpose, failure, growth, and defining moments… I started asking myself a different kind of question: “What would my 85-year-old self tell me today?” That question stayed with me. Not what would he regret. Not what would he complain about. But what wisdom would he try to hand me now while I still have the strength, the breath, the opportunity, and the time to act on it? That question alone can change a person. One of the biggest ideas Dr. Hardy talks about is this: Most people allow their past to dictate their present. But powerful growth happens when your future begins to dictate your present decisions. That stopped me in my tracks. Because if I’m honest, many of us are still making decisions based on:
