Yesterday, during an amazing BTL team practice, a freshmen jumped his teammates with hard truth. They had been assigned a PA from our last practice and 60% of the squad had not done it. He wants to win a Natty and said this isn’t the way to get there. Spoke truth in Love with an … Continue reading Freshmen led…

Antifragile…
This post was inspired by yesterday’s Founder’s Series team practice ONE.126. You’ve been reminded… Life has always been hard. Way back in the day, the ancient Spartans built a team that embodied the opposite of fragility. The Spartans were anything but fragile as Nassim Taleb, author of the book Antifragile would describe. Spartan antifragility was … Continue reading Antifragile…

See yesterday’s post for reference. More of my vomit from Zen reading. This from page 34. 34 The right art is purposeless, aimless. The artist is simply playing with their craft. The key to finding purpose is patience. This is so true. I remember 1993 stumbling into CCL (Center for Creative Leadership) and not wanting … Continue reading Page 34…

Getting it right…
What friend fires you up? Being right or never stopping the aim of getting it right? The first is ego driven. The second? OPUS focused. We’re all a work in process. There is no end to the pursuit of excellence. Happy New Year, friends. Keep working on it. Never STOP. Live hard. Love harder…

At a minimum we want clarity and understand faith, of some sort, is required. Secondly, we are drawn to beauty. We notice the sunrise and have to stop and stare. And, we … Continue reading Beauty…
Prepare now…
Want to stick to your disciplines, whatever they are? Set up bright boundaries your mind cannot miss. "Nothing to eat after 8pm and one cheat meal a week," is a bright boundary. Every Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday the iPad seconds timer app is a bright boundary for me. There's no missing the red screen and the reps in … Continue reading Prepare now…
