But what about vibes?!

It’s cool to be against climate change so can I still do that?

Business owner. CEO. General manager. Partner.

Pay close attention to the person on your team who is exceptionally creative when it comes to getting revenge.

If they’ll dedicate that much intelligence, energy, and patience to destroying someone they believe wronged them, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re immune.

One day, you’ll disappoint them.

And when that day comes, the same weapon they used for you will be used against you.

Vindictiveness is a character trait—not a skill or strategy.

In my experience, there are few liabilities more expensive than an insecure or vindictive employee. Talent can build a business. Character determines whether it survives.

I don’t hire for brilliance alone. I hire for emotional maturity.

Because I’ve learned this the hard way:

The people who love retaliation rarely stop at your enemies. Eventually, they come for you.

Here’s something worth noticing.

If you’re reading this, you’re… alive.

That sounds obvious until you realize how rarely we stop long enough to notice it.

We live in a culture that profits from panic. Algorithms reward outrage. Certainty gets more clicks than curiosity. We can know what’s happening everywhere in the world and still have no idea what’s happening inside ourselves.

Maybe that’s the real poverty?

Yes, evil exists.

It always has.

Always will.

So does goodness.

I want to be better.

Not louder. Not more certain. Better.

I want to move closer to home—not an address, but the person I was created to become. I’m grateful to be doing that work here, in the United States—the story I happened to be born into and now have the privilege of helping write.

Is America messy?

Absolutely.

So am I.

We’re 250 years into one of history’s boldest experiments. Freedom has always been expensive. Growth has always been uncomfortable. Becoming has always been messy.

Any entrepreneur knows this.

Any parent knows this.

Anyone who’s ever tried to change knows this.

The joy isn’t at the finish line.

It’s found in the fight to become.

Maybe nations work the same way.

Maybe America is still becoming.

Still learning.

Still stumbling.

Still reaching.

I hope we don’t lose the thread that started this whole experiment: that freedom is stronger than fear, faith is more durable than despair, and love—lived, not merely posted—still outlasts hate.

The older I get, the less interested I am in condemning entire groups of people. My own story has too many scars. Too many failures. Too much grace.

So today, I’ll choose curiosity over certainty.

Hope over hostility.

Grace over grievance.

Not because it’s easy.

Because it’s the only way I’ve found to become the person I want to be.

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

A camera, a podcast, or even a Shark Tank appearance does not automatically mean someone can help you build something profitable.

Makes you wonder how many companies actually believe in what they sell vs how many are just chasing whatever makes the stock go up.

Is this you? Buying health products but avoiding simple habits?

[Charlie Carroll @CharlieCarroll]

There’s a thin line between searching for meaning and losing control completely.
And for a few hours, I completely lost myself.

What’s one thing that immediately makes you choose one Airbnb over another?

Read that again: under 50.

Pay attention to your body. Early detection matters.

[Charlie Carroll @CharlieCarroll]

Did you guess it right??? Does this surprise you??

[Charlie Carroll @CharlieCarroll]

You never think it’ll happen to you… until it does.

Most startups do not fail because the idea is bad, they fail because their timing was wrong.

The longer you play, the more you’re guaranteed to lose.

Some of the biggest health risks are the ones we see every day and never question.
Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it’s harmless.

Are you building something people need… or something you just like?

[Charlie Carroll @CharlieCarroll]

Would you drop everything right now and race to another city for a shot at a free car, a 100 inch TV, or a trip to Vegas?

Do you need more discipline… or is it just better timing?

The deeper you look, the weirder it gets 👀

What do you guys think of this?

If it was worth investigating… is it really too far-fetched to believe.
