No idea.  I had no idea how good the OSU golf facility is. Yesterday, headed over there for practice with their HC, Mo, I got much more than I bargained for.

This is one of my favorite weeks of the year - Thanksgiving. We Americans are living the dream. Fact. We have been blessed with freedoms unfathomable by most. I grew up in Salina, Kansas.

He showed up in the snow only to find nobody home. I forgot to tell him the workout was canceled, not due to snow, … Continue reading Small details…

Small giants choose being great over being scaleable. Small giants choose excellence over good enough. Small giants are like Imoto, not Nobu. Both of these offer world class sushi and service. In my mind, Imoto just does it a little bit better. Our aim, at BTL, is to become a small giant. We too are … Continue reading Small giants…

BTL team practice is all about creating a better locker room. Teams are built where no one sees but them. Team trust is built behind closed doors. Sacred. We, the BTL builders, know how to facilitate this kinda magic. No trust falls. No power points. No suits. No bullshit. What’s the lynch pin? Truth. More … Continue reading Locker room…
