For years I told myself… “this is just who I am.”

Every July 5th looked the same.

Wake up feeling like garbage. Piece together the night before. Swear next weekend would be different.

It never was.

Real talk, this is the part that took me longest to admit. The people I was drinking with? Good people. Fun people. Nobody was trying to hurt anybody.

But nobody was going anywhere either. And as long as I stayed in that circle, neither was I.

Stuck isn’t always misery. Sometimes stuck is comfortable. Same people, same weekends, years flying by.

Don’t believe everything you think. The life that’s wrecking you will convince you it’s the only normal one. It’s not. It’s just familiar.

What changed wasn’t willpower. I got tired of running on empty and went looking for what actually fills me up.

Sustained not temporary.

God. Early mornings. Daily habits. Thursday nights in a gym with kids who need someone to show up. Serving families in deep poverty who just want to be seen. Building a life I don’t have to rebuild every Monday.

Woke up this morning after a holiday weekend clear. Present. Nothing runs my life anymore.

Not discipline. Freedom. One honest choice at a time. Most of them small. None of them easy.

If you woke up today wishing you could take back the last two days, that’s not proof you’re broken. That’s your gut telling you there’s more.

There is. And it won’t cost you the people you love to find it. But it might if you don’t.

If this is you, my DMs are open. No judgment. I’ve been there.

Caleb Thornton runs .us and and has watched a wall of founder pitches up close. Three things he says end a raise before it starts:

Saying “nobody is doing what we’re doing.” Can’t name a competitor means you didn’t look. He tunes out immediately.

Selling complexity. Investors aren’t experts in your category. The more you lean on how complicated it is, the more it looks like you’re dodging how you actually make money.

Following up too fast. Take the next-day meeting and you look desperate. He coaches founders to push it two weeks out on purpose. Desirable raises money. Desperate doesn’t.

Watch for those three. New episode out now.

Memorizing is collecting. Thinking is connecting.

School trained us to store the right answer and graded us on recall. That stopped working the day the answer key disappeared. Real life does not hand you one. The answer keeps moving.

Recall is a search bar now. Anyone can collect. The skill that pays is connecting two things nobody thought to put together.

Coordination work gets automated. Judgment work does not. That is the part the machine does not take.

You can collect facts for twenty years and never connect a single one.

Health, sports, and capital almost never end up in the same room.
⠀
On July 21, they will.
⠀
We’re hosting a small happy hour at Founder Suites for friends of founders. The people quietly building across all three, right here in Kansas City. No stage. No pitches. Just the right people and the conversations that actually move something forward.
⠀
It’s curated and it’s intentional. Faith first, good humans, real mutual wins.
⠀
If you’re building in health, sports, or capital and this feels like your kind of room, send me a note. I’d love to tell you more.

I’ve coached a lot of founders. The stuck ones are never under-informed.

They’re over-optioned.

Every backup plan you keep “just in case” collects rent — attention, half-commitment, the 2am conversations you have with the route back. Most people have never invoiced their escape hatch.

I’ve kept my own. I know exactly what they cost. The seasons I grew the most weren’t the ones with the most resources — they were the ones with the fewest exits.

And here’s what the motivational posts get wrong: you don’t burn an exit in a ceremony. You starve it. Stop feeding it attention and it rots on its own.

So skip the bravery. Do the accounting:

Name the thing you’re keeping just in case. Add up what it actually costs to maintain. Look at the bill.

The boat burns itself.

Faith first. Then habits. Then business. 🔥

The right capital is rarely the closest capital.

Most company owners build around whatever sits in their backyard. The bank down the street. The lender their accountant already knows. The product that happens to be in reach. Their advisors and partners work inside that same radius, and everyone assumes that’s the whole map.

It isn’t.

Tomorrow at 1 PM CT I’m showing intermediaries, founders, and anyone with an audience how our affiliate partners get their people access to capital products they can’t reach locally, and get paid when those deals close.

One-time session. Register at the link in my bio today.

Twin Cities in late April… and somehow we’re golfing in hail and snow 😂 only you, .

Grateful for this trip. Time with crew, jumping on Dedicated podcast, and the kind of conversations that actually matter. Not surface level. The kind that challenge how you think, how you lead, and how you show up when no one’s watching. I can’t wait for this one to drop… if it hits you the way it hit me, people are going to start making real moves in their lives.

More than anything, I respect the way you live, Shawn. As a man of God. As a leader. As someone who’s walking in obedience, not just talking about it. The people around you reflect that. That says everything.

Appreciate the time with the whole crew… (keep going, man), and getting out there with corysvihla. And being around the Uncommon Award energy tied to guys like , , , KOC, and one of the best to do it in Minnesota … that standard of leadership and service is real. And it doesn’t stop here. Year 4 coming up… heading back to the Dominican together soon. Serving in the villages, staying grounded in what actually matters. That’s the work.

Trips like this remind me… it’s not about noise. It’s about alignment. Faith, people, purpose.

Grateful. Let’s keep building.

Huge congratulations to on the Uncommon Man of The Year Award 2026 — presented by the legend himself, . What a moment to witness. Hearing you talk about faith, purpose, and what it really means to compete for His glory!

God is moving through you brother. The boldness in your faith, the way you carry yourself, the work you and your wife put into your marriage, family and spiritual life… powerful and UNCOMMON! 🙏

Building businesses. Investing in founders. Learning every day.

Most of what I share here is the highlight reel.

The deeper conversations about entrepreneurship, venture capital, investing, and building meaningful companies happen on my YouTube channel.

If you’re a founder, investor, athlete, or someone building something bigger than average, you’ll enjoy it.

Some of the most important experiences in my life have come through serving others.

This will be my 4th year working with in the Dominican Republic, and every time we go back it reminds me of something simple but powerful.

You go thinking you’re there to help.

But somehow you leave realizing how much you were the one changed.

This documentary captures the heart of the incredible leaders and communities we get to serve alongside in the DR. Their faith, resilience, and joy are deeply humbling to witness.

I’m grateful for leaders like Tim Krauss and so many others who live this out daily. As Tim says:

“Jesus is the endgame.”

That truth becomes very real when you’re there.

If life ever starts to feel a little empty, a little too focused on yourself, or like success alone isn’t filling the deeper places in your heart… sometimes the reset is simple.

Go serve someone.

We’ll be heading back again at the end of July, and I’m thankful for everyone who has been part of this journey with GO Ministries and Freedom Hoops.

If you’ve served with us, tag someone who was part of the experience.

And if you’ve ever felt a pull to do something like this, reach out. I’d love to share more.
