Happy Mother’s Day to my entire world. I count my blessings every single day that you were brought into my life.

I’m not crying. Ok, I’m crying.

Why do us men normalize placing cancerous chemicals on our skin on a daily basis? @SahilBloom finally had enough and actually did something about it. I just tried some of his new product line and they smell like a Ritz Carlton spa but in a manly way. And no junk! I’m honestly kind of upset at myself for not launching this very idea sooner. Basically, Sahil has created the cleanest skincare product line for men in human history. History has been made. And no, I didn’t get paid to post this.

I had the joy of catching up for dinner last night in Omaha with Tim Cook. When I was feeling lost on my journey, he pushed me to follow my energy. I’m grateful he did. He’s brilliant and successful, but most importantly, a good man. The future is bright.

This is a story about my father, parenting, and my rule for the strongest relationships in life… When I was 12 years old, I tried out for a baseball all-star team in our area. I really wanted to make this team. The tryouts were my first adventure beyond the confines of my small town. An opportunity to see how I stacked up against kids from all around the state. When the results came out, the coaches called my house. They were taking 16 players for the team...and I was the 17th on the list. I was devastated. It was my first real experience with failure. Something I wanted, worked towards, and came up short. I went into my room, sat on my bed, and cried. A few minutes later, my dad walked in. He sat down on the bed next to me. After a few minutes of silence, he offered a few words: “I know you’re upset. I understand. It sucks. But here are the three things the coaches said you needed to work on. Let’s go out every day this summer and work on them. Together.” And we did. I’d patiently wait for him to get home from work, holding our gloves, a bucket of balls, and a bat. He took me to the local field damn near every single day that summer. I’m sure there were days when he didn’t want to. When he was exhausted from work or travel, but it never showed. And I came back the next year a completely different player. Years later, when I got a scholarship to play baseball at Stanford, I still thought back to that one summer as the turning point. But it was more than the practice that was the real turning point. It was what my dad said in those moments as we sat on my bed, with tears streaming down my face—and how he followed through on it every day that followed. He had two options when he walked into my room and sat next to me. Option 1: Tell me the coaches were idiots. I was the best player. They had made a mistake. They didn’t know what they were doing. Option 2: Acknowledge the pain. Tell the truth about the opportunity in the failure. And be there to support the work to meet that opportunity. Honestly, in that moment, I probably wanted Option 1. It would have made me feel better. It would have told me that the world was the problem. That an external thing was to blame. That I was great. Option 2 was the tough pill to swallow. But also the right one. I believe that the strongest relationships in life stand on two pillars: The first is high expectations. The belief that the other person is capable of excellence. That their potential is only limited by their own views. The willingness to tell the truth about that opportunity and the work required to meet it. The second is high support. The ability and willingness to provide the love, support, and engagement to help the other person meet those high expectations. A lot of relationships fall short of this standard. They hit one pillar, but miss the other. Low expectations and high support will provide comfort, but no growth. High expectations and low support may spark short-term growth, but breed long-term resentment. Sir Isaac Newton famously said: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” It’s a beautiful line, but I think it leaves out the part that matters most. The giants had to bend down. They had to choose to provide energy to lift him. That’s exactly what my dad did the night I didn’t make that all-star team. He didn’t lower his shoulders to the level of my disappointment. He didn’t tell me the high heights didn’t matter. He told me that I was capable of the climb—and then he gifted me with his attention and energy to help complete it. I think about this constantly now. This, to me, is the highest calling in our relationships: To create an environment of high expectations with those we love and show up to support them to meet (and exceed) those expectations we’ve set. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot as a father. I hope it resonated with you.

@preston_holland @SahilBloom The wives know

Idk if Wild Roman has testosterone in it or what but I feel very manly when I use it. It must be the smell. (Not a paid post I paid full price.) @SahilBloom

I’ve been using this for over a month (not paid btw) and I have noticed a HUGEEEE difference in my complexion. Small story: I have had “reddish” cheeks most of my life. I thought it was rosacea for the longest time but it’s actually KP (my skin over produces keratin) and nothing works for it…until this stuff. Shameless selfie but my redness since starting this is the lowest it’s been since I was a small child. Can’t recommend enough!

Rule #1 of not looking 50 when you are 40: Use a moisturizer at night. If you aren’t doing this, big wrinkles will come 10 years earlier than they are supposed to.

@SahilBloom @brookeleblanc I started this trend 😅

@brookeleblanc First ever skincare product where women are stealing it from their men? Breaking new ground here. 🫡🙏🏽

@danielcberk 🤣🤣🤣

I just bought the full face routine from Wild Roman. High probability I look like this after 3-4 business weeks of consistent use. Will report back.

This is the best thing you'll see this week... A few years ago, I came across this beautiful story written by a woman named Pam Kearney in a local newspaper. I visited Matthew, the owner of Lucy’s Flour Shop a little while back. As I nibbled on an enormous chocolate chip cookie I began to tell him a story. A few years back on a bitterly cold December evening, there was a visitation at the funeral home across the street from his bakery. The people, bundled up in coats, scarves, and blankets were lined up around the building waiting to hug the family of the deceased. Seemingly out of nowhere, a man showed up and began giving away hot coffee to the people outside. People who entered the funeral home with coffee in their hands whispered of a mysterious man handing out free coffee, and how much they appreciated it. I looked at Matthew and said, "I have a suspicion that you were that man. Is that right?" Matthew very humbly replied, "Yes, I felt so bad for them and wanted to do something, but all I could do was make coffee, so I made coffee." I responded that he blessed so many people that night by helping them warm up and by showing there’s good in the world. He added a positive note to a devastating situation. I paused, then added, “That visitation was for my sixteen-year-old son. Thank you for being so kind.” That conversation has stuck in my head since then: "All I could do was make coffee, so I made coffee." *** I want you to read that final line again... "All I could do was make coffee, so I made coffee." Every single day, we face our own version of this situation. Different circumstances, yes, but the same general experience: We feel stuck. Completely frozen. Not because of the lack of options, but because none of the options are perfect. None of the options feel big enough. None will solve the entire problem or fix the entire issue. So, most of the time, we do nothing. But nothing is the one option that's guaranteed to change nothing. If I could synthesize the lessons of my five years of writing down to one single statement, it would be the following: Do the thing. Take the action. Just start. Show up. Make the move. Walk the path. Because the change you want to see doesn't happen unless you create it. The new life you want doesn’t magically appear. It’s built through action. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New boundaries. Action, however imperfect, is always the cost of entry. I might think of it as the Paradox of Imperfection: The most perfect outcomes are often just a byproduct of a large volume of imperfect actions. In the immortal words of Teddy Roosevelt: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." As you continue on this crazy adventure of life, you will face daily moments that conspire to make you feel completely helpless. You'll feel paralyzed. Unable to see a clear path to create momentum or improve the situation. In these moments, you have a decision to make: You can freeze, paralyzed by the imperfection of your options. Or... You can act. You can do what you can, with what you have, where you are. You can make the coffee. This is the single most important decision of your life. Making the coffee isn't just for the moments of turmoil or crisis. It's for the ordinary Tuesday when you dread getting out of your warm bed. It's for the business idea that's been sitting in your head for two years. It's for the hard conversation you've been avoiding. It's for the workout you want to skip on the day when everything fell into chaos. It's for the dream that feels too big to begin. The moments themselves can be big or small, but the lesson is clear: Action doesn't have to be perfect for it to be right. So, the next time you face a situation and start to feel helpless, remember: Just make the coffee.
