Daddy Goat #SBW…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *JD, KM* The Warm-Up: “Short-form content captures attention and brings immediate gratification, but it sacrifices lasting enrichment. Watching a bunch of reels doesn’t match the full immersion of a movie. Reading a series of posts doesn’t rival the depth of insight of a book. Long live long-form.” ~Adam Grant The Core: “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.” ~Seneca “There are some things you cant learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.” ~Norman Douglas “When you get married, you trade novelty for loyalty, exploration for trust, and the chase for a journey.” ~Alex Hormozi “It’s insane. I grew up in Ohio, and in 3rd grade LeBron was averaging 30 points…and now I’m his teammate and he’s averaging 30.” ~Jaxson Hayes on LeBron, via @ESPNLosAngeles “Lack of accountability looks like blaming others for issues you directly caused. Holding yourself accountable for what you create requires mature effort and courage.” ~@nedratawwab “Work hard but acknowledge when your efforts won’t change the outcome. Stop pushing a door that is not going to open. Save your energy and learn when to try a different door.” ~@Millennial.Therapist “No disrespect to Jimmy and Bam, and that organization, and that roster, but Giannis is different. That’s a different guy to play alongside in terms of his dominance.” ~CJ McCollum on Damian Lillard Trade “ ‘If it doesn’t come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don’t do it.’ (~Charles Bukowski). If you feel like you’ve been ‘chosen’ for what you’re doing and where you’re going, move diligently. If you feel like you’re settling…pause, reflect and move differently.” ~Matt Gottesman “Ten years from now, the people who are influencing you wont have to explain the choices that you made. They won’t have to live with the direct consequences of your actions. They will be focused on themselves—just like they are right now. Be thoughtful but choose for yourself.” ~Michell C. Clark “What I think that they need is the same thing that I think I need. I think I need encouragement, direction as to the art of what’s possible, what is possible in a human life and specifically your human life and to reveal to them that there is so much more out there.” ~Rick Buhrman, in Rick Buhrman, Paul Buser - Find Your X, Nurture Your N on Invest Like the Best w/ Patrick O’Shaughnessy Last Set: “I say, ‘We gotta talk about us,’ I feel like Jordan Peele / Could tell I’m getting’ under your skin like a orange peel / ‘Cause your words don’t match your actions like a foreign film / And now it’s silence in the Lamb’ like the horror film / Things get quiet after me statin’ the obvious / Things get kinky after fifteen years of dominance / That October sky is lookin’ ominous / The money is autonomous…” ~Drake, 8AM in Charlotte Food For Thought: “Cooper Kupp, he . . . has been a huge mentor and there was a moment during training camp where I wasn’t having my best practice, but he came over to me, took me to the side, and was just like, ‘Hey Puk, we know what you’re capable of. We’ve seen it all. Go out there and continue to do that.’…And that was kind of just a mental note for me of like, shoot, one of the best in the world says, ‘I believe in you. We’ve seen what you do, we know what you’re capable of.’ And that was just a cemented moment in my brain. I’m like, ‘Hey, I belong here. I’m ready to go and . . . give everything I’ve got now.’” ~Puka Nacua, in Training-camp conversation with Cooper-Kupp helped Puka Nacua believe he belongs Food For Thought II: “I can tell everyone listening I’m excited for it. I can’t stop thinking now you guys are saying this simple equation. The phrase in my head is find your X, nurture your N, and probably in that order, the N is irrelevant unless you find the X first, you have to find the thing. And I think that’s an almost emotionally beautiful way of thinking about a life, mostly emotional for me because of how sad it is than most people never find one let alone the other that we talk about life’s work or something, that’s the X. That’s the thing that you can then turn n number of times, then I think nurturing people in that rough direction, helping them nurture the end is a very noble thing. And I’m just curious, I guess, if there’s anything else that comes to mind with that phrase in mind that you’ve learned about or seen...” ~Patrick O’Shaughnessy in Rick Buhrman, Paul Buser - Find Your X, Nurture Your N on Invest Like the Best w/ Patrick O'Shaughnessy
