When threats emerge on the water, seconds matter. NASBLA’s Tactical Operator Course delivers the advanced tactics, precision maneuvers, and threat-response training that set the national standard.

@OfAthenry This is fantastic 😂

@TheJohnCMaxwell My husband has drilled this into our children from a young age…be interested in others, ask questions, give others the opportunity to speak…it’s one of the fastest ways to create an ally, build a friendship, and garner influence.

People are interested in the person who is interested in them.

@TKopelman There’s always a reason to not do something. It only takes one step to move forward. I was 100% not prepared to step into the role I have…leapt into it anyway. Haven’t regretted it once.

Almost every successful person I know shares one key trait: They’re willing to step into a role or run a business before they feel ready. They trust themselves to figure it out along the way

@rokajoska @CoachDanGo 👆this. These dramatic hot takes swing the pendulum too far in either direction.

@CoachDanGo i don't think you have to be reaching a level of disgust before you can change things in your life, meaningful change and hard decisions can be made before that

No one wants to hear this but if you want to change any part of your life you must be disgusted. You can't be okay with things or mildly disappointed. You must get to a point where you can't live the same way anymore. You need to have absolute disgust to change your situation.

I get so mired in all of the content churning in my feed. But the reality is if I chased every cutting-edge leadership tip, health hack, and life-saving protocol on here, I’d never get anything done. 4AM wake-ups…nah, 9hr sleep recovery. Cold plunges mandatory. Never mind, heat only. Delegate everything! Actually, own it all. Contradictory noise everywhere. Curate ruthlessly. Test in reality. Lead from the deck, not the feed.

I love this. The best growth you will ever have comes from confronting your reality honestly.

@EchelonFront Disagree. This reduces leadership solely to win/lose…ignoring context, external factors, and the reality that even elite leaders lose sometimes.

The only meaningful measure for a leader is whether the team succeeds or fails. Effective leaders lead successful teams that accomplish their mission and win. Ineffective leaders do not.

@mihirmodi @MyJagger @cb_doge Wild logic.

@MyJagger @cb_doge for the joy of interacting with other humans?

@nikitabier @lennysan I don’t think this is that unique of a list, but I love this reply. Frames reality pretty darn well. 🫡

@lennysan 1. I get paid less than I was making before 2. Day-to-day can be chaotic 3. I face reputational & legal risk daily 4. I love the product A job is not about joy. It’s about doing what the world needs.

I'm curious what % of people love their job and what % hate their job. Let's find out. Please take this poll. The votes are anonymous, so you can be honest. Extra credit: If you love your job, leave a comment and share why. What is your job, and why do you love it?

@ariannahuff Challenges don’t ever disappear, but you can always choose to change your perspective.

A reminder that we have the power to choose one thought over another — right now!

@GregoryMcKeown It’s hard not to see the holes and try to fill them, but this tracks. Such an annoying cheat code 😂

Remember: When you focus on what you lack, you lose what you have. When you focus on what you have, you get what you lack.

@Giants I feel…hope? Is that what it’s called?

HC + QB 🔥

Happy to put all my eggs in this basket…glad to see some fire back in the fan base.

That reality is why maritime training for firefighters matters...and why experienced instructors matter even more. I couldn't be prouder of the Fire Boat Operator instructors who bring real-world fireboat and marine response experience to this work.

I grew up in New York. My uncle was FDNY. And for a long time, I thought I understood what the fire service was...and where it operated.

@Markmanson This gave me an unexpected laugh upon opening the app!

The most important thing family teaches you is how to actively love a person you don’t necessarily like.
