Spring break breakfast with littler guy. Big brother went to work with his Dad. Little guy and I treated ourselves to pancakes.

I have been meaning to share this story months ago..

Before the OSU-Michigan game in November, I was repping Maize and Blue at my gym when this guy came up to me and shared his Buckeye loyalty.

After some conversation, it turns out we both went to the same HS, Worthington HS (Ohio). Doug Robinson '91 and me '75.

Two guys training in Phoenix AZ sharing a common connection 2000+ miles away. Small world, isnt it?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. While my birthday was actually 2/21, some celebrations with good friends came late. Last night treated myself to great company and my favorite French Dip sandwich location. Appreciate all the love.

While on this awesome retreat, I had the pleasure of celebrating 25 years sobriety (Feb 13) with my new friends. Grateful for this surprised recognition and support.

While I am saddened to be departing Guatemala, overjoyed that there is a place to enjoy a cigar while waiting to board my flight

Still one of my favorite childhood memories. Detroit Tigers 1968 World Series Champions.
Pictured are Bill Freehan (I wore his #11 on any uniform I could) and series hero and MVP Mickey Lolich (who passed away today). These men are gone, but the memory lives on!!

This is how true leadership speaks. A clear and responsible vision and message. Thank goodness someone is stepping up a filling the void.

In this performance culture we live in, we can often be influence by the belief people are actually watching us.

But, what if they're not? What would you do, how would you prioritize, how would you live or act if you realize no one was watching. What if no one really cares?

In today's podcast Kate Turner, CPCC and I explore the question, "What if no one is watching?"

Join us as we unpack the ease with which many of us fall into inauthentic performance and explore the courage it takes to stay aligned with who we truly are.
