@chrisantonelli Hey Chris! Been thinking of jumping back I to this as well

Ok friends, confession time… I was only 2 days away from losing my X account forever. A mentor told me to reactivate it, so here we are. 😂 I’m building the Leader Unlock Community, a space to help leaders carry the burden with clarity, faith, and purpose. Let’s connect 👊

My High School Senior on his first day. In my head he is still the little boy I use to carry around everywhere. Time is a thief.

@StartSellSucced When you understand sales though, there is nothing like it.

Harsh truth: Sales isn't tough because the process is complex. It's tough because you need to work above average just to be average, and exponentially harder to excel. It demands deep matter knowledge, constant self-improvement, trends awareness, understanding human nature, storytelling, high energy level, empathy, a good sense of humor, and creativity. No other job requires this much, all at once. Does this scare or encourage you?

@BigEnergyDad True but we still love it!

@SPowersThatBe Most overrated? Bench press.

You could do two exercises the rest of your life and still grow significantly: - Dips - Deadlift Name 2 better exercises for developing the body. You can’t.

Appreciating these three that have given me the gift being their Dad. Happy Father’s Day!

The true currency of this world is relationships and how you treat people.

Proud of my boy for graduating this weekend from Colorado State. My father didn’t live long enough to see my graduation, so as a dad this meant the world to me.

You don’t earn love… You allow for it.

@Theholisticpsyc Great list! I would being adaptable as well.

Signs You Have Post Traumatic Resilience: 1. A strong sense of humor 2. Intense creativity 3. Deep empathy 4. The ability to be resourceful 5. Vivid imagination 6. Grit and determination

Your relationships change when you take responsibility for how you feel at all times. Change: “you make me feel…” To: “I make myself feel…” And see how that empowers you.

One of our relationship agreements is we always present a united front. Differences are hashed out behind closed doors and we never put each other in the spot in front of others. Agreements are the standards for how couples operate, which are often more powerful than vows.

@aina_ayodeji Feel free to DM me question.

@SPowersThatBe …me on this journey. I understand your time is valuable, and I’m not looking for a full consultation—just some light guidance if possible. Thank you so much!

Sunday vibes… I find if I don’t take time for myself, I get burned out taking care of everyone else. An hour reading in peace or going for a walk/run usually does the trick. Having time where I don’t have an agenda puts my mind at easy. Wishing everyone a fruitful week ahead.

You can’t go solving problems of the heart while stuck in your head. Sometimes men need a little less logic and a little more feeling.

@Nate_Whitson_ @paulbullard Right! It takes getting out of the mindset of ‘this is what has worked for me and this is who I am’, because that becomes their limit..

Such good stuff, Scott. You’re right. I see what you’re saying as men I work with have no awareness of past traumas, pains, or root causes for why they do what they each day. They don’t even know they’re surviving it. They think it’s just who they are. And it is. It’s the survivor

Most dysfunction in a relationship is because of survival skills dressed up as relationship skills.

@creation247 Forgive your parents. They were just doing the best they could with the resources they had.

What's your #1 tip for men who in their 20s and 30s?
