🎉 Today, I turn 60 years old.

If you’re reading this on June 21st, 2025—happy birthday to me!

Over the past 60 years, I’ve made mistakes, taken risks, bounced through hard seasons, and learned a lot. And today, I want to share five of the biggest life lessons that have shaped how I show up every single day.

​

💥 Here they are:

1️⃣ Take care of yourself.​
Since August 29, 2017, I’ve run at least a mile every day. Not to show off—but to show up for myself. Movement is medicine.

2️⃣ Establish strong boundaries.​
My boundaries are legendary. Picture: 25-foot walls, rebar, snipers, and a moat filled with (possibly poisonous) alligators. Don’t just protect your time—defend it.

3️⃣ Hang around people who are where you want to be.​
The fastest way to grow is to get in the room with people who’ve already made the leap.

4️⃣ Growth lives on the other side of discomfort.​
As Steve Harvey says, “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” If you’re always cozy, you’re not growing.

5️⃣ Don’t take life so seriously.​
You get one shot at this thing called life—don’t spend it stressed out, burnt out, or buried in busyness. Have fun.

🎂 As I hit the big 6-0, I’m not slowing down—I’m doubling down on clarity.
