You don’t need permission to pursue your potential.

[Oliver C. Powell ll @OliverCPowell]

Lead yourself well.
Lead others with integrity.
And build a name that doesn’t need to introduce itself.

Something I’ve been learning lately:

95% of the decisions about you are made when you’re not in the room.

[Oliver C. Powell ll @OliverCPowell]

I’m learning this:

Consistency and character matter more than any title, performance, or platform.

[Oliver C. Powell ll @OliverCPowell]

I'm learning not every season needs another sermon, devotional, or podcast.

Sometimes, it’s quiet obedience.

Praying when answers feel far,
Trusting when nothing moves,
Sowing seeds unseen.

God is working even when you can’t see it.

Stay faithful.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary

You can’t lead, love, or provide on empty

Rest is responsible
Healing rebuilds your foundation
Being vulnerable takes strength

Show up for YOU, so you can show up for others.

[Oliver C. Powell ll @OliverCPowell]

Hot take...

People love when you're honest with them, but hate when you're honest about them.

[Oliver C. Powell ll @OliverCPowell]

A smart man says, “I messed up. I’ll do better.”

A wise man says, “I watched him mess up. I’ll do different.”

You don’t have to learn everything the hard way.

[Oliver C. Powell ll @OliverCPowell]

You can’t lead others well if you won’t follow God first.

Without Him, leadership drifts toward ego.
Impressive from a distance, but empty up close.

Real leadership starts with submission,
not status.

Follow first.
Then lead from there.

Too many men are being shaped by noise instead of wisdom.

Since 2020, I’ve watched the gap between men and women grow

I’ve seen brothers turn to voices that are loud, angry, or aimless.

Let’s talk about it 🧵[1/10]
