• Convergence is Saturday June 7th at Roosevelt Island. Multiple Qs

COT
• YHC’s 54th birthday is this week.
• As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that not all friendships are equal. The best people to surround yourself with are people who celebrate your progress, challenge your thinking, and push you to be your best self—even when it’s uncomfortable.
• Good friends support you, but the best friends stretch you. They’ll call you out when you’re slacking, not to tear you down, but because they believe you’re capable of more. They’re the ones who clap the loudest when you win. They’ll push you to apply for the job you don’t think you’re qualified for. They’ll nudge you toward the right kind of relationship, not just the convenient one. They’ll remind you of who you are when you forget.
• I want to surround myself with people who inspire me—people who make me want to level up, not just fit in. That’s why I love F3 – leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him. You guys inspire me.

COT: Reflecting on how we handled my wife’s health crisis three years ago, I rose to the occasion and was present, attentive, picked up the extra chores, all the good things. Now that we are “back to normal,” trying to maintain the good attitude and practices – and not get annoyed by the minutiae of everyday, like the toilet paper rolling the wrong way. We shouldn’t need a crisis to be the men we need to be.
