Stalled? Good. Now we work. 🕵️‍♂️


Hello Reader,

News of the Week

Week 3 in January...

The resolutions has gone to dry,

It’s not a motivation problem. It’s a tolerance problem. Hold the line: execute, pray, finish.

Most parents don’t quit.
They stall.

Right in the middle.

The excitement fades. (That New Years Resolution you made 18 days ago???)
The results slow down. (You can't fix years of bad habits in just 21 days!!!)
The work stops giving feedback. (The scale doesn't change?!?)

That’s where momentum dies. Right in the messy middle.

Not because you’re lazy.
Not because the plan was wrong.

Because the work gets boring before it gets rewarding.

So parents tweak.
They second-guess.
They look for the next big fad... instead of finishing.

Here’s the truth:

Stalling isn’t a motivation problem.
It’s a tolerance problem.

Can you keep executing when your progress goes quiet?

The middle doesn’t need inspiration.
It needs fuckn rules.

Clear actions.
Simple metrics.
Less thinking. More finishing.

Treat the middle as a phase to pass through, not a reason to pivot.

That’s where most people fall off.

And where momentum quietly returns if you don’t.

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week This week I walked into the gym and the squat racks were gone. Smith machines? Gone. Half the floor ripped up. Renovation. The gym is upgrading. And it hit me… When was the last time you upgraded yourself? Not started another challenge.Not downloaded another app.Not said “this year will be different.” I mean actually renovated who you are. The truth most parents don’t want to hear:...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week This week I was busy AF!!! Last Monday, after a full day on site, I didn’t want to workout because I quite literally was “too busy” I got home later than normal, and instead of cracking open a beer and slouching on the couch, I got moving with my boys instead… After that session I asked myself a question: Why has “being busy" become some sort of bragging right? It should embarrass us...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week Some parents think leadership is a title… It's actually not! You're born a leader whether you "sign up" to be one or not. If someone can observe you... You are leading, Especially if you have kids. How you speak to them. How you handle stressful situations. How you react when they make a mess. How you handle changes in life. How you handle job loss How you take care of your body....
