🚨Inside Communist-Controlled Cuba:
As Cuba faces its largest humanitarian crisis in years amid growing tensions with the US, I went to see what 60+ years of communism has done to a country.
Within 24 hours I was planning my escape out of the country after being followed by their intelligence agents, and a 2 star general waited to interrogate me outside my hotel room at 4 AM. Right now Cuba has no oil or gas, 7/10 people are going hungry, there is no medicine and some haven't even had eggs in a year.
In communism there is no freedom of speech or press, and I was almost taken hostage for asking about communism. This is a look into Cuba like never before, no one truly knows how bad it is until now.

This is why Russel Brand has become a target in the corporate media right now. He started sharing too much info.
He poked the bear and this is what happens. They all received their orders and came after him.
He didn’t follow the approved narrative. That is why this is happening. Never forget that🚨🚨🚨
Tom Landry said, "A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has you see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be."
The best coaches are excellent leaders.
They connect and influence.
It's not what they say, but their actions, behaviors, and habits that set the standard.
The consistency in their habits is what makes the best coaches, the best leaders.
That consistency permeates through the culture and everyone on the team.
7 Coaching Habits of The Best Leaders:
1. Communicate Expectations = Alignment
People perform when they know what to expect and where they are headed. When you align your team's understanding with your vision, you create purpose. This habit not only sets a clear path forward, but sets expectations and fosters unity ensuring everyone's on the same page.
2. Build Relationships = Trust
Building relationships isn't just about camaraderie, it's the foundation for trust. Great leaders understand that trust is the currency of collaboration and growth. If you don't trust someone, you won't listen and believe you have their best interest at heart. By investing in genuine connections, you lay the groundwork for a committed team.
3. Measure Results = Accountability
When leaders hold themselves and their teams accountable for outcomes, they pave the way for growth and continuous improvement. It is not just saying the words, but consistently making accountability a habit. This means setting a target, measuring to the target, and consistently reflecting on progress. Focus on the process and the inputs that drive the results.
4. Give Responsibility = Ownership
The best leaders give responsibility and ownership to others. When people feel ownership, they take ideas and run with them because they know their voice is heard. Leaders who empower their team members to take ownership of their roles inspire creativity and dedication. Ownership turns ordinary tasks into personal missions, and that's why it's important.
5. Celebrate People and Wins = Connection
Celebrating wins shows people you care and builds gratitude for others and the team. It reminds everyone of progress, boosts morale, and strengthens the bonds within your team. This habit nurtures a culture of appreciation and togetherness. Spend time each week celebrating the small wins.
6. Get Feedback = Engagement
It's not about hearing words, it's about having people open up. Leaders who actively seek and listen to feedback demonstrate their commitment to growth and improvement. They create a structure that allows people to be heard. It shows that every voice matters, leading to higher engagement, innovation, and commitment.
7. Be Yourself = Authenticity
People don't buy what you say, they buy WHO YOU ARE. The best leaders embrace their unique qualities and values, setting an inspiring example for their others. They don't fake their enthusiasm or energy, they are themselves. Authenticity breeds trust and creates an environment where everyone can be their best self.

Smart runners are honest that on brutally hot days, they aren't going to PR.
What do they do when the weather is hot? They run a conservative first mile (and possibly a conservative second mile).
Then they have a blast passing athletes who didn't adjust their race plan.
I just watched this again with my pops. If you haven't listened to it in full, you should set aside time this week and make it happen. The way he lays out the blueprint is extraordinary! Once you grasp it, you've solved the puzzle. Then it all makes sense.
Dear Athletes,
The time will come when fall will ask what you did all summer … and it will never lie. It will be obvious who committed and who coasted. Who challenged themselves and who cheated themselves. Who raised their level and who risked their role.
Sincerely,
The Truth
WORSE than the GREAT DEPRESSION.
Interesting video on what people were making in 1933 during the worst part of the Great Depression. And showing inflation adjusted what that equals today.
The money we make has less value than ever 🔥🔥🔥
