t is 5:30 PM on a Friday. I could have sworn I hit "Post" on this at 7:00 AM. Turns out, the day grabbed me before I could hit the button. I think that’s fitting. The grind doesn't always go according to schedule. But the message is too important to skip, even if it’s late. Cookie (in the post below) doesn't care about my schedule. She doesn't care that I'm tired. She doesn't care that I'm busy. She just knows: It's time for Dad to come home. I promised I'd introduce you to my crew. This is my why: → Colleen — Together since '97. Now works from home helping me run multiple businesses. She's seen every version of me. (And catches me sweet-talking the dog in 4K). → Spencer — 25 years old. Teaching most of the classes at the academy now. Watching your kid run the mat you built hits different. → Sammi — Graduating college in May. So proud of her. She's my twin. → Cookie — The accountability partner who never lets me skip a day. This is why I grind. Better late than never: Drop a picture of your family or your fur baby in the comments (Today or tomorrow/Saturday). Let's see who you are fighting for. (Check out the video... yes, the voice changes. No judgment. 😂)

Good morning! In the DGC, Pillar #3 is FUEL (20 Points). We don't call it "dieting." Dieting is temporary. Fueling is permanent. If you put trash in a Ferrari, the engine knocks. If you put sugar and processed garbage in your body, your brain knocks. The Prompt: We want to see how you fuel. 1. Drop a photo of your breakfast, lunch, or meal prep below. 2. OR tell us your strategy: Are you Fasting? Carnivore? Keto? Just "No Sugar"? My Fuel: I just wrote a deep dive on my 30-year journey (from Dr. Pepper to Carnivore) on my Substack this morning. 👉 https://tkdjreed.substack.com/p/lucky-charms-to-carnivore-what-30 But the short version: I keep it simple. Meat, eggs, cheese, water. No brain fog, steady energy all day. (I'll drop a photo of my breakfast in the comments when I break my fast). Show us what you got 👇

Happy Wednesday, Crew! In the DGC, we don't just work; we track. And on Wednesdays, we stack our Wins. Why? Because your brain is wired to focus on the negative (what you didn't do, how tired you are). To override that, we have to consciously look for the evidence that we are winning. The Prompt: Reply below with ONE WIN from this week so far. It doesn't have to be massive. It just has to be progress. - Maybe you hit a workout when you were tired. - Maybe you didn't eat the donut. - What did you do that wasn't easy, but you're glad you did it? I’ll kick it off in the comments. 👇
