Thank you to all who fought and sacrificed in freedoms defense all those years ago. Incredible footage here. Blessed that both my uncles survived and will never forget the over 400,000 who did not come home.

I researched human happiness for three years while working on my first book. One thing I learned was that happiness was really about attention. The happiest people didn't have perfect lives. But the imperfections were never their focus. They found joy in ordinary days. Gratitude in small moments. Meaning in simple things. Happiness is about attention, not perfection.

Memorial Day will always mean more to our family than cookouts or a long weekend.

It’s the sound of boots on concrete.
The weight of a folded flag in shaking hands.
Three children growing up with memories instead of a father.
A headstone in Section 60 with a date that changed the course of all our lives forever.

SSG Alan W. Shaw, was killed in Iraq on February 9, 2007. He was 31 years old. He didn’t get the chance to come home, grow old, meet grandchildren, or live the quiet life so many of us take for granted.

That’s what Memorial Day means to us.
It’s not abstract. It’s not political. It’s personal.

But over the years, I’ve also realized something else. The men we honor today did not give everything so America would sit in mourning forever. They believed in life. In freedom. In family. In backyard barbecues, ballgames, loud laughter, and the simple privilege of being home.

So yes, remember them. Speak their names. Teach your children who they were. Fly the flag. Visit the cemetery.

And then live.

Live in a way worthy of what they gave up for the rest of us. Because they are never truly gone as long as somebody is still speaking about them. 🇺🇸

"Sidney Crosby is our Tom Brady and our LeBron James..

I was on the ice with him when he was 14 years old and I could see how good he was then..

He should play for as long as he wants to play"

It was the perfect sunrise for Mother's Day in #Pittsburgh today, as vibrant clouds filled the sky directly behind the city in this view from Mt. Washington early this morning.

A very Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there...hope you all have a great day!

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager. over 2,500 games from the dugout.

I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count.

I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series.

The biggest difference was leadership.

If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear:

Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad.

The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit.

What this looks like in practice:

• Wins: name the people who made it happen
• Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks
• Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome

Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame.

Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it.

Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing.

I tuned out every one I didn't trust.

Get to know your people before you try to develop them.

Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick.

Then the coaching lands.

Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.

After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together.

This was my rule:

• Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute?
• Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out
• Be present for whoever you're going home to

Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it.

Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.

Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me?

Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win?

The first builds compliance.

The second builds careers.

When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over.

Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be.

Discipline keeps you in the first group:

Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there.

50 years taught me leadership isn't about you.

It's about the people you serve.

A view of moonset over the weekend from the Hill District as it hung right above the Steel Building in downtown #Pittsburgh. I've always loved this view, with the way that the houses lead you right to the skyline. It's the perfect mashup of neighborhoods and the city.

[Dave DiCello @DaveDiCello]

It is an absolutely picture perfect day in #Pittsburgh for the marathon today, and it was so much fun capturing these images downtown at the start of the race. The view from the incline is always beautiful, but I love how the bridge framed the city as runners went by.

[Jesse Marshall @jmarshfof]

This dude stepped into one of the biggest pairs of shoes in the history of the industry and made it his own. There’s a scrutiny that comes to that seat given who sat it in before, and this dude straight up carries the torch and both guys fill that void. A+ work. Good human.

Usually thre audience is a little smaller on day 2.

Pittsburgh is not your usual city,

Got the chance to watch this tonight by @PatMcAfeeShow
It’s awesome. Absolutely awesome. You fall in love with football you fall in love with Pittsburgh

[Dave DiCello @DaveDiCello]

How cool is this?! The Wyndham in downtown #Pittsburgh is lit up with graphics for the Draft, and it looks SO much better than what I had in my head! After the event tonight I ran up to Mt. Washington and the West End to capture it, and these are some of my favorites.

[Anand Nanduri @NanduriNFL]

A+ recommendation this is one of the cooler things I’ve ever seen.

[Spittin' Chiclets @spittinchiclets]

Pens fans gave Ovi a long standing O in what could be his final game in the ‘Burgh 👏

Artemis II is 170K+ miles from Earth today.

But yesterday, Pilot Victor Glover was asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.

His response is worth listening to.

And his advice is worth internalizing in advance of a difficult year ahead.

Players with 21 point-per-game seasons: Sidney Crosby.

End of list.

And Skenes, a 23-year-old who carries himself like a 10-year veteran, can't get past the way Griffin conducts himself as a teenager.
"Goes to church every Sunday, doesn't cuss, doesn't do any of that stuff, married at 19," Skenes said. "It's not common, but nothing about him is common. Everything screams uncommon. And if you want to be uncommon, you want to do uncommon things, it starts with thinking uncommon -- and he does that."
