I joke with anyone that will listen that the preface to my book, Wired for Purpose, is the best part. That's because my wife, @MelanieStrout, was the one that wrote it.
She's been such a critical part of my journey over the last 30+ years, and without her, none of this happens.
Thank you @peter_osborne for so eloquently capturing this aspect of the story. I appreciate you.

4 things Iโd rather do than be a thunder fan:
1. Play hide and go seek w/ Jeffery Dahmer in an abandoned Chucky Cheese
2. Be a Temu parachute tester
3 Stick my D&@k In a blender
4.Lick a port-o-potty toilet seat at Coachella
Yall are some Losers
I told the interviewer I was โvery scaredโ of the conversation. I was joking. Mostly.
@peter_osborne at @RestlessUrban just published two pieces on me โ a profile and a review of Wired for Purpose โ and being on the receiving end of good questions was harder and better than I expected. ๐งต
4/5 Peter asked the kinds of questions I try to ask my own guests on Reaching Higher โ not just what youโve done, but what knocked you sideways and what youโre still figuring out.
3/5 The book review nailed something I care about deeply: legacy isnโt built at the end of a career.
Itโs built daily. Small decisions. How you treat people when no oneโs watching. Fingerprints on a future youโll never see.
2/5 The profile is called โThe Strange Disorientation After Success.โ
Which is exactly what the first six months after leaving Real Chemistry felt like. Not regret. Just the gap between relief and certainty being bigger than I anticipated.
There are 9 million children in America sleeping on the floor tonight. 9 MILLION! No bed, no mattress, no safe place to rest their heads.
In the latest episode of The Reaching Higher Podcast, I sat down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about what he calls "the pandemic of child bedlessness" โ and the remarkable movement he's built to end it.
Luke started building beds in his garage. Today, SHP has 400+ chapters across all 50 states and has delivered over 350K beds to children in need.
The clip below stopped me in my tracks. I think it'll do the same for you.

The Wrong Comparison - Stands Corrected https://t.co/9pmhtge3pb For those like @ZachLowe_NBA@BillSimmons and others who love Jokic like I do. Lost in the MVP debate is what this season does to his historical legacy. Finding it harder to argue he's not top 10-15 all-time.
