Goosebumps!
I watched a quick video from Steve Nash (Hall of Fame Basketball player) earlier this week that moved me. He opens the video by quoting Garp in “The World According to Garp”, “Get obsessed and stay obsessed.” The video is linked below. I love this! As a leader, a father, a mentor, I am always hoping for those in my charge to find something that gets them obsessed. (in a positive way of course…) Once I spot the obsession, I do everything I can to fan those flames!
Quote that always get me…
“Young people need models, not critics.” - John Wooden
This is part and parcel to the Steve Nash video above. Whether you are a parent, a coach, a business leader or a teacher, it is incumbent upon you to set the example for the behavior you want demonstrated.
You want your kids to have a healthy lifestyle? Then, you as parents need to model a healthy lifestyle.
You want your players to have character and class? Then, you as a coach need to demonstrate character and class.
You want your employees to come to meetings on time, prepared and with enthusiasm? Then you, as the boss need to do the same.
Product that I am taking and loving lately…
I came across MTE from Ben Greenfield. It is great for a pre-workout or mid-day pick me up. The blend of adaptogens and nootropics have made a noticeable impact on my mood, focus and clarity.

Song that gets me in the mood to cook and entertain…
Every time I hear this, I want to stir a martini and make spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka!
Book that I read and have just read again…
This book is action packed. It goes back and forth with incredible stories and lessons of combat and challenges within the corporate world and how to apply the lessons to achieve extraordinary results.
