Exposure builds empathy. Difference builds perspective. And with every trip, we hope they’re growing into young men who not only see the world, but also feel a responsibility to it.

Where’s a place that changed your perspective? I’d love to hear about it.

who you’re meant to be.

No deadline.

No finish line.

Just consistent effort, and the willingness to try again when you need to.

Take five minutes today to check in with yourself. What needs a reset?

Plain and simple.

Once you see it for what it is, you stop waiting. You stop replaying what happened over and over again.

And you move on.

Sometimes, it’s hidden in what they didn’t do.

When someone shows you a lack of care, when they choose silence over honesty, when they refuse accountability… it might feel like unfinished business.

But that’s your answer.👇🏾

today, she’s thriving.

That message was a reminder I’ll never forget: the smallest gestures often have the biggest ripple effects.

So ask yourself, seriously, how are you treating people when nobody’s watching you? Because that’s where integrity lives. And that’s where lasting impact begins.

That wasn’t part of any agenda. It wasn’t glamorous. But she left our interaction believing it mattered that her voice was heard.

Fast forward a year or two, and she sent me an email. In it, she told me that our short exchange gave her the confidence to pursue her career full tilt, and👇🏾

and bumped into a junior colleague I barely knew.

I was in a hurry to shake a few important hands, but she reached out with a nervous smile, eager for just a moment of my time. I stopped. I listened. I asked her a question she hadn’t expected:

“What’s your biggest hope as you start this work?”👇🏾

picking up a piece of rubbish on your walk to work and throwing it away.

These are the times your character truly shows up. That’s integrity. That’s everything.

I remember early in my matchmaking days I was still finding my stride, building the business w/ Jill. We walked into a networking event👇🏾

Because one day, what you’ve planted will rise, and you’ll be grateful you didn’t quit before the roots were strong enough to support it.

but every quiet season is shaping you. Every unseen effort is building strength.

So if you’re in that in-between moment, don’t rush to pull the seed out of the ground just to check if it’s growing. Keep watering. Keep showing up. Trust that things are taking root even if nothing is visible yet.👇🏾

immediate results.

But that doesn’t mean they’re wasted.

When your actions are aligned w/ your values, you can trust they’re leading somewhere meaningful. You’re laying a foundation that’ll be strong enough to support what you’re building.

It takes patience to believe in what you can’t yet see,👇🏾

silence doesn’t mean stillness. Growth often starts underground w/ roots forming long before branches break through.

The seeds you’re planting right now may be the discipline you’re practicing, the consistency you’re putting in, the small acts of faith every day. & they’re not always going to show👇🏾

To us, travel is the antidote to prejudice and narrow-mindedness.

There's an unparalleled joy in discovering places we've never been, and it's this joy that fuels our lives.

Keep your heart open. Keep choosing belief.

And know, that when your moment comes it will reveal the you that has been growing. The you that has been there the whole time, becoming everything you were always meant to be.

So I want you to keep showing up for yourself this week.👇🏾

What once felt like a setback may turn out to be the very thing that shaped you.

Life rarely moves in straight lines. It moves quietly, serpentine, in ways that are working for you even if the purpose is still unclear to you.

Hope isn’t pretending things are perfect.👇🏾

All the talent in the world won’t mean a thing if you don’t step forward. The people who change their lives, and sometimes even the world, aren’t always the most skilled. They’re the ones who dare.

So ask yourself: what’s one place in your life where fear has been holding the wheel?
