What's your integrity worth to you?

You find out when it actually costs you something. What you really find out is where you put your trust. Choose wisely.

TODAY MATTERS!

@Professor_Jason Club soccer is fractured. All our best players go elsewhere to develop and play. There’s no uniform development because youth soccer clubs go for the money and that means putting winning teams together to draw more players rather than pure development for a senior team.

[Nick Surface @nick_surface]

No 2 ways about it. That was a massive whiff by the #usmnt in the biggest game of their lives. But we are still improving overall. And our best athletes don’t play soccer over here.

It was a fun 3 weeks and I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the World Cup

[Nick Surface @nick_surface]

@FabrizioRomano Sounds like fear to me. Best response to this would’ve been that they don’t concern themselves with what they can’t control. BUT they’re clearly worried. Good for us. Let’s go #usmnt

@thewakeninq It helps that we had 16 more teams and more games but I love this! The media really is the enemy of all of us. They are a propaganda machine selling outrage 24/7.

[American Nightmare 🇺🇸 @thewakeninq]

A German fan said it best:

“If you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive through it.”

Over 3.6 million fans packed stadiums for the World Cup, breaking attendance records. Millions came from every corner of the globe and experienced what the headlines never show: welcoming people, incredible hospitality, and a country unlike any other.

The media sells outrage. America sells itself.

@UtdForever7 @ManUtd @premierleague This is a bad take. Same people pushing to spend are the first to complain about overpaying if the player doesn’t work out. Elliott Anderson is not worth 130M. Tonali is not 100M. Bruno was going to go for that last year. They’re not on his level.

[The Impossible Life @impossiblelivin]

Comparison doesn’t just steal your joy. It steals your destiny. The moment you start chasing someone else’s path, you abandon your own assignment. Run your race. Build what God put in you. TODAY MATTERS

The USWNT used to kneel for BLM

Now the USMNT kneels for Christ the King

Loving this #worldcup game between Ivory Coast and Germany. I think @warrenbarton22 is making this game even better with the commentary. Well done. 👏👏

Never be afraid to glorify God.

Amazing to see Team USA on the biggest stage there is at the World Cup praying after the game.

God is with us.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

How fast your life moves and improves is directly correlated with how fast you’re willing to have hard conversations.

@SembeneOculi @Dandykaycee @manufcnow I think he left because the results on the pitch were so bad people were starting to tell him how to manage. I think he was terrible on the pitch. And that’s what is most visible. I like Amorim as a man from what I saw but he was dead wrong as an actual football manager.

[Nick Surface @nick_surface]

@Dandykaycee @manufcnow This is a crazy take. We changed one thing, the manager, and suddenly we are a threat in the league again. Amorim was good for culture and terrible on the field. A good manager gets the most out of his players. Amorim didn’t do that. He tried to force a system. That was his flaw

5 things worth protecting:
1. Your sleep
2. Your circle
3. Your word
4. Your attention
5. Your calendar
Give any of these away cheap and you'll feel it.

@MooneyOwnsYou @Jared_Carrabis That’s exactly right. Baseball is a marathon not a sprint. We get this intensity every year in the playoffs. Baseball is not meant to be a game of intensity every second. It was designed as the national pastime for a reason. It was supposed to take time.

[Nick Surface @nick_surface]

What do I know?! Severino is dealing. Sheesh.

[Nick Surface @nick_surface]

Everyone talking about Skenes vs the DR bats. Severino didn’t get much talk but I think the US is going to light him up. #wbc #usadr
