@McCormickProf His famous work was poorly written fiction with nothing of substance but shameless fear mongering. Yet the gullible swallowed the lies. Thank you for the post Dr George.

Not a lot of people understand this... but you actually don’t have to have an opinion about everything. You don’t have to decide if something is good or bad. Marcus Aurelius says limiting the amount of opinions we have is one of the most powerful things we can do in life.

Ray Dalio is out of touch with reality. It’s obvious that he hasn’t been invited to visit Divergent (divergent3d.com). Divergent will change how we manufacture EVERYTHING. They represent what’s great about America 🇺🇸 and will single-handedly bring advanced 🧵

Perhaps Ray Dalio has different data, but Grok thinks US, Europe & Japan manufacturing output is significantly higher than China x.com/i/grok/share/Z…

@JWurzak Excellent article Jake. Helps to understand why the resort is rated as world-class. If they read your post I would suggest it’s time to upgrade the complimentary bicycles.

For years, my family has celebrated Thanksgiving at The Breakers Palm Beach, a tradition that has grown into something far more meaningful than a getaway. It’s a ritual, a return to a place that feels like both a luxurious escape and a second home. Each visit deepens my appreciation for what makes this iconic property not only one of the greatest resorts in America but also one of the most profitable and enduring. The Breakers isn’t just a hotel; it’s an immersive experience in hospitality excellence, independence, and the delicate art of balancing heritage with innovation. Founded in 1896 by Henry Morrison Flagler, The Breakers was modeled after an Italian Renaissance villa, a nod to timeless elegance. What’s remarkable, though, isn’t just its grandeur—it’s that the resort has remained under the ownership of Flagler’s descendants, the Kenan family, for over a century. At a time when so many legacy properties are absorbed into global chains, losing their unique identities, The Breakers stands apart as an independent beacon. This independence, as CEO Paul Leone articulates, is their “ultimate form of market differentiation.” What does that mean in practical terms? For starters, the Kenan family has committed to reinvesting in the property at levels that dwarf industry norms—three times the capital allocation of typical luxury hotels. This long-term vision ensures that the resort isn’t just maintained but continually reimagined. It's a relentless pursuit of improvement, driven by pride, responsibility, and a deep connection to the property, its staff, and the Palm Beach community. One of the things I admire most about The Breakers is its disciplined approach to business. While the property’s history and architectural splendor could easily make it a "priceless antique," the Kenan family treats it as a high-performing enterprise. Every decision is scrutinized for its return on investment (ROI), and leadership compensation is directly tied to performance—70% of pay is at risk if targets aren’t met. That’s a level of accountability I wish more hotel operations aspired to. It’s also a big reason why The Breakers consistently outperforms its competitors, including those backed by global hospitality giants. As someone in the hospitality business, I’m acutely aware of the challenges that come with preserving an older property while meeting modern expectations. The Breakers has mastered this balance, blending its historic Italian Renaissance charm with cutting-edge technology and world-class amenities. From their meticulous infrastructure upgrades to sustainable initiatives and a recent overhaul of their tennis facility, the resort never rests on its laurels. This philosophy of “never holding our position” resonates deeply with me. It’s a reminder that in hospitality—and in life—you’re either moving forward or falling behind. The Breakers moves forward, every single year. At the heart of The Breakers’ success is its people. With a team of over 2,200 employees and a hiring standard that sees only 4% of 15,000 annual applicants make the cut, the resort prioritizes quality over quantity. This rigorous approach extends to how they care for their team, offering resources to support work-life balance and personal growth. It’s no wonder they retain some of the most passionate and committed staff in the industry. This emphasis on people is a personal touchpoint for me. The hospitality business isn’t just about buildings or P&Ls—it’s about the human experience, both for guests and employees. The Breakers embodies this truth. Their team makes you feel like a cherished guest, year after year. For my family, Thanksgiving at The Breakers is more than a holiday—it’s a reminder of what makes this place so special. The personalized service, the stunning grounds, the exquisite dining—it all comes together to create an experience that feels both familiar and extraordinary. It’s also a moment for me to reflect on what The Breakers represents for the hospitality industry: a blueprint for how to stay relevant, profitable, and deeply authentic in an ever-changing world. The Breakers doesn’t just exist; it thrives. And in doing so, it teaches us all that the key to greatness isn’t just about heritage or innovation—it’s about having the courage and discipline to excel at both. For that, it will always hold a special place in my heart, both as a guest and as someone who admires what’s possible in our industry when passion meets precision. Here’s to another unforgettable Thanksgiving at one of America’s greatest treasures and one of my favorite hotels .

Let me make one last comment on my health before moving onto more important things… I suffered another stroke Monday night that was hidden by all the vertigo and vomiting. My apologies to the Thayer Hotel at West Point – the room was a mess. Three days later, I’m finding it very difficult to walk, even with assistance. That’s why I’ve been canceling public events for a few days, I walk like an old man. But my thinking and strategizing are still as sharp as ever. So, I will hopefully resume my role as commentator very soon. You haven’t killed me off yet. 😤

The story of the “Man of the Tombs” is one of the strangest in all of Scripture. Despite that strangeness, we can find lessons for Christian ministry leaders and pastors today. buff.ly/3sRIsOe
