@tysthirdaccount @CFBKings reading this after watching #25 Arizona beat #20 ASU…

[elle ✨ @heyellehogan]

I’m at the airport reading, and a man in his ~60s walks by me and says: “Great book. Wish I had it earlier.”

So I ask, “Really? Why?”

That sparked a convo about how he went from Harvard MBA to investment banking in NYC… to an existential crisis at 35 where he lost himself, gave it all up, found himself, met his wife, and built multiple business.

What stuck with me the most is how he talked about his wife. He just LIT up.

“If you think I’ve had an interesting life, you should meet my wife! She’d blow you away. She blows everyone away. She’s the most impressive woman I’ve ever met. She’s my linchpin.”

Me: “What advice would you give for choosing a life partner?”

Him: “If you have a big vision and want a big life, you need someone who knocks your socks off. It’s gotta feel like winning the lottery. This person is your #1 advice giver. Your lifelong backup. Your companion for thousands of meals, events, problems. You need someone better than you in a lot of ways. Whose mind and heart amaze you. I wake up every day like, ‘How on earth did I land her?’ She says the same thing. That’s when you know.”

Then he showed me like 300 pictures of them and their kids on vacation around the world.

Couple goals. 🥹

@MsEmmyMorgan ❤️🙌🏽 Just seeing this, you the best, Emmy, thank you!

@CriddleBenjamin Thought this too but figured that it must be legal if the defensive player is diving through the blocker to make the tackle on the runner? 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m scrolling through this awesome Baylor fan’s tweets and getting emotional over here.
Kindness, respect and good sportsmanship all around. Love to see it!! 💙 #GoCougs #SicEm, Bears

BNT’s Thoughts About the @BYUfootball fans:
1. Never experienced anything like their hospitality
2. Truly good folks
3. #BaylorFamily is #1 in my ❤️but we could learn from them about fan engagement
4. Loudest stadium I’ve ever been in
5. Cougar tails, ice cream, milk 😋

@KINGxRETRO92 I was thinking that all game. 3 and 4 man pressure all game

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@JackDamuni Welcome to the family, Raider!!! 🤟🏽

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

I guess it wouldn’t be a TRUE Cinderella story without her evil step-sisters tearing up her gown right before the ball so she could shock the world by being the belle of it anyway!!! #gocougs @BYUfootball 😤

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@gregwrubell Was BSU planning on playing their QB’s back at safety for that game??? FIFTY ONE

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@BYUAllBlue 😂😂💀💀

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@Its_Rufio7 Hell yes on all of those except for the Jordan 1 cleats. Those don’t good at all and I’d rather wear airs 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@KennyCoxKC @dufftittle @brettpyne @kalanifsitake Still part of this family, brother! Thanks for all you did for us while I was there

@mhebboy1 Much love, brother

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

I quickly realized a few days ago that I should have included my reasoning behind why I feel the way I do. So I hope this provides clarity.
Much love and aloha, and
Go Cougars 💙

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@TimoteoMitchell Thanks Tim. I’m always willing to reevaluating my opinions and checking myself so I genuinely appreciate your feedback

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@CarlCarlrussell @Thruandthru8 Yeah, that’s a valid point. Thank you for the clarification.

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@alan_mi11er Of course I remember you, man! Good to see you! Thanks for the kind words. I’m not upset over this nor am I on a crusade rn. It was just a thought based on my experiences. I feel bad that people felt attacked because it wasn’t an attack at all

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@jacemclaws Right. What was nice to see was that there were multiple times where we saw how it really didn’t sit well with members and leadership. Church leadership revisited the topic on a few occasions until finally making a change

[Michael Alisa @MichaelAlisa42]

@Steve_Hatch Haha that’d actually be dope..
-University of Zion (UZ)?? 🔥
-University of Provo? Meh.
I saw University of Steve Young or Lavell Edwards the other day 😂
