"You can’t. He can. So let Him." A reminder from Into the Arena. The Lord can move what you can’t. Faith in Him changes everything.

Keynoting the final day of The Arena conference in Las Vegas this weekend, hosted by @tyromper, @nickcpicks , @MikeSchiff_ and @derek_lundsten was awesome! Zoom in to that pic of me with @zachhomol_ and @AshleyHomol. That day in 2020 marked the very start of my descent into the valley...into The Arena...to face the big guy with my bag of rocks. In the valley, marred with dust, blood, and sweat - I emerged victorious. The headless giant dead on the valley floor. The ascent was made possible because of three simple words...

As the #PresidentialElection heats up … so do our opinions. Right now, the U.S. is extremely divided. Our #Workplaces, too. You don’t have to agree with your co-workers. You don’t have to change your views. But, in my opinion, you MUST do this. #HR

As much as last night was an indictment of the Democratic Party for misleading party members and the country about the mental acuity and health of the president, the media deserve far more derision and scorn. I and others were repeatedly criticized by the media for questioning the competency of the president. Among other false accusations, I was accused of spreading misleading videos which clearly showed Biden’s deterioration. Do you remember the heavily excerpted and edited @POTUS Biden @60Minutes interview where the interviewer covered for the president by saying he was ‘very tired?’ @60Minutes knew. The @nytimes knew. @CNN knew. @MSNBC knew. Left wing media have had total and complete access to the president, his staff, and his administration. They all knew, but they told you otherwise. They outright lied to you. When Robert Hur, the special counsel who deposed the president, said that the president was not fit to stand trial and therefore chose not to bring charges, the media described him as a tool of the Republican Party and character assassinated him. When the @WSJ recently published a several-thousand-word, carefully researched, front page piece on the president’s mental and physical health, it was described by left wing media as outright propaganda. Now consider who has been feeding you propaganda. A favored technique of some of the most evil leaders in history was to mislead the people by constantly repeating the Big Lie. The Big Lie is so audacious that people accept it as truth because it is repeated so often that how can it be that something so important and material could be an outright falsehood? In this case the Big Lie was our president’s fitness for office, let alone a second term. A media organization is not supposed to be a branch of the Democratic Party. The media have a profound obligation to tell the truth to the American people, particularly about something as critical for the country as the president’s mental and physical health. People very close to me, my closest family and friends, trusted the media on Biden until the @CNN commentators finally owned up to the truth about Biden last night. For months I have been accused by many friends and family of being misled by an @X-based ‘right wing echo chamber.’ The sad reality is that one of our most important institutions, the so-called ‘Fourth Estate,’ fourth only after the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners, has destroyed any remaining credibility it has. Consider how your perception of @POTUS Biden and @realDonaldTrump has been manipulated. The media can no longer save itself. A suggestion. Rely on empirical data as much as possible. Listen to what someone actually said, rather than a headline summary or article about what someone said. Get your news from people who have a track record of telling the truth, people who do so at significant personal cost like whistleblowers. I follow broad constituencies on @X on multiple issues. That has led me closer to the truth. Citizen journalism has been a much more accurate representation of reality. Thank you @elonmusk for saving this platform. It gives us a fighting chance to save our democracy.

There’s a difference between being a leader … and being a leader people WANT to follow. The difference? This KEY trait. #HR #Leadership

@SahilBloom Phoenix - we’ll hit a great cold plunge spot while you are here!

I talk a lot about the value of getting into the right rooms. Here’s my plan to help you get into them: Something amazing happens when you bring together ambitious big thinkers into a single room. Unfortunately, access to these rooms is not evenly distributed. I want to do my part to fix that. In 2024 and beyond, I’m making it my mission to open up access to these rooms so that everyone can benefit from them the way I have. What that means: Live events in cities around the world, at the lowest possible cost (ideally free or close to it). The exact format of these events is TBD, but I have lot of ideas: - On stage fireside chat - Small group breakouts (depth) - Large group gathering (breadth) - Optional dinners/events If this is something you’d be excited to attend, comment below with your city so we can add it to our list! Let’s create more amazing rooms—and open the doors to them. The future is bright.

If you want your team to serve, serve them. If you want your people to care, care about them. If you want your team to love their work, love them. If you want your employees to be their best, give them your best.

I've never been shy about the value mentors have had in my life. Now, it's time for me to give back. Thrilled to join @LifeGuidesNow and pay it forward.
