There will always be someone who thinks that they can do what you do better than you. They will try, so let them. You are your brand and that is what sells.

This guy turned a gas station into a $275 million machine.

On his daily drive to work, he notices something:

Every gas station is terrible - Filthy bathrooms, terrible snacks, and poor customer service.

Yet… they’re all still making money!

“What if I just made a better one?”

He gets a bank loan, buys a small piece of land, and opens one little store.

He calls it Buc-ee’s.

A few years later, he teams up with Don Wasek—another young hustler with experience in gas stations and car washes.

Together, they expand. Store by store.

They then buy a massive plot of land off the highway and build a mega Buc-ee’s:

✅ 50+ gas pumps
✅ Restrooms cleaner than most hospitals
✅ Fresh BBQ brisket, fudge, and an entire wall of Buc-ee’s merch

That first mega-store hit $10M in its first year. 😳

Today?

54 stores.
Millions of fans.
$275 million in annual revenue.

98% of the time, without question.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

💰 Buc-ee’s isn’t just making money at the gas ⛽️ pump.

Some locations pull in millions just from merchandise.

People don’t just fill their tanks — they walk out with T-shirts, hats, snacks, beaver plushies, even pajama pants.

And the people working there?

They’re making money 💴 too.

Entry-level employees can start at $18–$22/hour with full benefits, 401(k) match, and PTO with some store managers earning over $200,000 a year.

Beaver didn’t create something new, he upgraded something everyone else ignored.

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
Just make it better, cleaner, and smoother.

As leaders, it is important to remember to not give instructions that are loaded with assumptions. We can't assume that people already know how to do "X", already know how to use "X", already know how "we do things around here". These assumptions can lead to confusion on the part of the employee and colleague and frustration on the part of the leader, because we didn't get what we "thought" we asked for.

Given this thought, I remembered a video that I saw some time ago and sought it out this morning to share with you today to further drive this point home.

Think about how a task has gone wrong because either you, or a coworker, omitted pertinent information based on the assumption that "they should have known". Feel free to share your experiences in the comments below.

Classroom management based on “behaviorism” and where rewards are linked with food are harmful and create lingering negative impacts.
These practices are outdated and should be banned.

Proud mom moment.😊
Yesterday, President Biden was on TV giving one of his final speeches on foreign policy. My son came downstairs, looked at the TV and said “is that Joe Biden?”
My son, diagnosed with autism and an intellectual disability, is also a 2-time Paralympian. The and invited both Olympians and Paralympians who competed in Paris last summer to the White House to honor their achievements and for representing the United States at the Games.
I am a relentless advocate for high levels of inclusion for people with disabilities and a true believer in experiential learning.
I removed my son from the public school system his 11th grade year and decided to homeschool him. There was a huge gap between what his IEP team thought he could learn and do and what I KNEW he was capable of learning and doing. He learns best by doing things and feeling like he’s a valued member of any group, team, or classroom. Homeschooling him at that point in his academic career was the best thing I could have ever done.
Today at 23 years old, he probably couldn’t remember or recognize any presidents that he learned about in school. But from the 2 times he was able to visit the White House and engage with President Biden, I can assure you that he’ll never forget him.
Including people with disabilities in conversations and experiences has an intrinsic value higher than we could ever quantify or qualify. Inclusion matters. Kindness matters. Acceptance matters.

I'm at a National Championship Swim Meet with my son and yesterday, a few things became clearer to me. Although many people are diagnosed with the same disability as our children/love ones, they aren't on the same path. Some people are on the same path, but are on different journeys. Some are on the same journey, but are at different points within the journey.

Don't let people box your children in or give you unsolicited advice if their children aren't on the same path, don't have the same (or any) long-term goals, don't have shared lived experiences and don't share your mindset of what full inclusion looks like.

Let your children be who they are meant to be. Everyone won't accept them and that's ok too. Help your children find their tribe and the naysayers and negative Nellies will eventually fade into the background.

Path: Represents the basic route or direction, often a straight line, focusing on the destination itself.

Journey: Encompasses the entire experience of traveling from point A to point B, including the ups and downs, obstacles, and significant moments along the way.
