Today would have been my mother’s birthday. She was born on August 28, 1963. When I was a boy, she gave me the advice I’ve carried into every part of my life: “Be gritty.” Not clever, not flashy, not optimized — gritty.
This morning, I’m unveiling something in her honor: The GRIT Postulation. Grit isn’t just another principle. It’s the exponent.
It’s what makes the triad endure.
It’s what makes founders antifragile.
It’s what turns survival into compounding growth.
