For the past 16 years at TCU people would occasionally ask me, “Were you a graduate student here?” or “Did you attend TCU?” I would laugh and say, “No… I wasn’t smart enough to be a student here.” Eighteen months ago, I decided to rewrite that narrative. I enrolled in the Executive MBA program at the TCU Neeley School of Business — stepping back into the classroom as a husband, father, coach, and leader. This past Saturday, by God’s grace, I completed all the requirements to earn my Executive MBA. I am humbled. There were long nights. Last-minute pushes. Moments of stretching. But there was also growth, sharpening, and transformation. My heart is full of gratitude — for the faculty and staff at Neeley who cultivate such an excellent culture of leadership and learning, and for my incredible cohort. Through the late nights and deadlines… we did it. Graduation: May 8. I am reminded of my life verse: “Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us.” — Ephesians 3:20 To God be the glory. Thank you TCU & Neeley School of Business!

I just had Claude Code build me a Facebook ad generator that can make 100+ on-brand ad variations in minutes for $0. And I made a full Notion document guide for you. It includes: 1. How to use Claude to find the pain points and desired outcomes of your ICP 2. How to use these pain points and outcomes to write ad copy variations 3. How to build a Facebook ad template entirely with code (just like the ones you see) 4. How focus Claude Code’s design so the ad feels “on-brand” 5. How to export the Facebook ads as PNGs in a zip file 6. How to bulk upload them to a Facebook ad set 7. How to use an AI data analyst to track the success of these ads Everything above is just API calls and Claude Code doing the work for you. You just come up with the ideas and polish the outputs. Like and comment "generator" and I'll send the Notion document to you

She hadn't worked out in years. But the problem wasn't motivation. After a recent keynote, she came up to me and said something I've heard more times than I can count: "I used to be so active. I played sports. I trained all the time. And now I can't even get myself to start." I asked her what was stopping her. "Every time I think about it, I just picture where I used to be. And I'm so far from that now." She wasn't competing with anyone else. She was competing with a ghost. A version of herself from 10 years ago. Before kids. Before the job changes. Before life threw curveballs she didn't see coming. And here's the thing about competing with ghosts 👉 you can't win. That version of her doesn't exist anymore. The circumstances are different. The responsibilities are different. She's different. But she'd been holding herself to a standard that belonged to someone else's life. So instead of starting where she was, she stayed stuck, waiting to feel like the person she used to be. That's the trap. You don't have to earn the right to start. You just have to start. Not where you were. Not where you think you should be. Where you are. Today. She told me that one shift, giving herself permission to compete with TODAY instead of 10 years ago, finally got her moving again. If you've been waiting to feel like your old self before you begin, stop. That person isn't coming back. But a better version of you is waiting on the other side of starting. #CompeteEveryDay

Well today was a first. Valet checked bag at the gate for my flight to Louisville. Hopped off the plane, on a call (my own fault), grabbed a near identical @Solgaard_co carryon and took off. Hopped out of the Uber at my hotel & realized, 'oh no, I have the wrong suitcase.' Felt awful because I KNOW the feeling of having a lost bag. It sucks. Raced back to the airport & found my bag at AA bag claim, dropped off the stranger's (who fortunately was still in the airport) & apologized profusely for the mistake. 🤦‍♂️

Comparison isn’t destroying performance. Competing in the wrong game is. That's one of the messages @JakeAThompson is bringing as a keynote speaker at AWI Spring Leadership 2026! April 12 - 14 Las Vegas

The most dangerous competition isn’t the person across from you — it’s the standard you quietly stopped chasing. #CompeteEveryDay

Competition isn’t the problem. Unclear competition is. When teams don’t know what they’re competing for, they start competing against each other. Clarity is the discipline. #CompeteEveryDay

Standards aren’t proven on your best days. They’re revealed on the days you’d rather lower them.

You're choosing to put in work to get better or you're choosing to regress by default. There is no in-between. #CompeteEveryDay

They made their decision. You made yours. Don't apologize to those playing small because you chose to chase something big.

You don’t need permission to evolve. You don’t need approval to level up. Your only job is to outwork your doubts and prove your potential right. Compete for the life you know you’re capable of. 🙌 #CompeteEveryDay

Standards don’t erode loudly. They fade when you stop checking them. #CompeteEveryDay

Commitments over convenient feelings.

After success, your standards either protect you, or they become the silent reason performance slips. Keep competing, daily.

Healthy competition uses external models for learning. Toxic comparison uses external models for self-punishment. One makes you better. One makes you bitter. #CompeteEveryDay
