Its taken 9 or so months to draft, edit, revise, stall and debate its worth, and further develop, and finally publish this labor of love that my father and I dreamed about.

Your team shouldn’t have to wonder which version of you is showing up today.

It’s not okay to be moody as a leader.

Consistency builds trust.
Trust builds relationships.
Relationships build teamwork.
And teamwork delivers results.

Your mood doesn’t just impact you. It impacts the entire team.

Great leadership starts with consistency.

Summer is the best for audiobooks while mowing, and it’s always great to go through ⁦@JackCarrUSA⁩ Terminal List series. First chapters have so much great context that can go missed.

Caring this intensely is beautiful in theory, but when it’s boundless and mostly directed outward, it can quietly erode the very capacity to keep caring long-term.

I’m not saying we should stop caring—that would feel wrong. Just observing that sustainable compassion might look like protecting your own heart enough to let it keep beating strongly for the things (and people) that are actually in your orbit.

Where do you notice yourself landing on that spectrum these days?

What would one small shift toward the middle feel like—not as a rule, but as an experiment in balance?

[Josiah Johnson @johnsonjosiah23]

Lately I’ve been noticing how much of the world runs on a kind of empathy that’s dialed way up—almost to the point of absorption.

People pour so much emotional energy into crises, endless outrage, other people’s pain that doesn’t touch their daily lives… and it leaves them quietly drained. Not because they don’t care (they care deeply), but because the caring has no natural off-ramp.

It’s like watching an emotional bank account slowly go into overdraft: withdrawals of distress, guilt, fixation—rarely matched by deposits of rest, boundaries, or simple joy in one’s own world.

[Josiah Johnson @johnsonjosiah23]

Empathy isn’t binary—it’s a spectrum.
One end: detachment that feels cold and wrong to most kind people.
The other: total immersion, where every story, every injustice becomes personal burden.

Somewhere in the middle is a place where you can still feel, understand, and act when it makes sense… without it overriding your own peace or reality. I’ve started seeing more clearly how far toward the high end a lot of us have drifted, myself included at times.

The cost isn’t always dramatic—it’s often that low-grade hum: less presence with family, hobbies fading, sleep interrupted by scrolling, a creeping cynicism when nothing shifts despite all the feeling.

@ToneDigz What Colt just mentioned, conferences have to have the two best teams playing in the championship. No crazy tie breakers

@JackCarrUSA @PatMcAfeeShow First heard you speak the may of 2023 episode. Have read all the books since then and preordered this one. Can’t wait to get into it. Pat isn’t lying when he says he can push books.

I *am* a Christian, and I agree with what KVV said here.

The older I get, the more I believe that the hardest part of the Christian life is to refrain from running to one extreme or the other in specific disciplines.

Work, money, fitness, all of it.

It's equally easy to make idols of working too much and not working at all. It's equally easy to claim that our riches save us as it is that our poverty does. Putting too much time into self image is just as dangerous as slothfully putting none.

It is way harder to live in the tension between two extremes, to *not* give ourselves over to either side. I think it takes a lot of prayer, introspection, discipline and good friends that help to endure.

All aspects of Scottie's life that I believe he gives a lot of time and energy toward.

I am, just like KVV, absolutely fascinated by these tensions in his life and how they continue to affect (and motivate) someone who is clearly becoming one of the best to ever play the game.

What are your thoughts on the larger firms with larger advisory divisions than typical tax/audit. Even with the new availability of law as a service, seems like they may be more ripe for acquisition as it’s also a way for PE’s to vertically integrate some of the key services for their addons
