Got drunk last night, sleep in the trash, but my life expectancy went up. 20 family members together. Long dinner table. Laughter. Tears. Heaps of food. Fried appetizers. Wine. Extra dessert. You need to be LOVE maxxing. Everything is south of love and togetherness. It can be friends, it can be family. But be with others

There are some behaviors I saw from my dad where I went opposite because I wanted to do better. Not a shot at the man, we have a great relationship. Respect him. Love him more than words can explain. I sometimes wonder what behaviors my kids will choose to change in their life because of me

Finished @AbudBakri podcast w @hubermanlab Congrats on becoming one of the foremost experts on peptides (and overall human health) Being honest, I could not understand a lot of things because I don’t have the science and biological background. But with that said, its easy to tell any doc or person who does will immediately "get it." Clear, concise, master of the domain and a great teacher. Admirable to see someone I've followed for a while dive right in and become a world renowned expert. Inspirational and love to see things like this. Agency and hard work go a long way.

The conversations with the lady that cuts my hair mimic my X feed Has an Only Fans client. Parenting and raising children right. Crazy politicized clients. Christian family. Online dating scene. Man vs women discourse. Bonnie blue, Call me daddy, online degeneracy. Mission trips. Business ownership. Wide ranging conversations that always carry optimism for the future…mixed in with wtf is going on in today’s world

I pray someday I get to rename this account Based Grandpa

The ultimate formula for success is knowing how to sell and actually caring about your customers

My wife doesn’t use AI, do you think she will like this hand written note? Happy Mother’s Day. It’s not about the flowers—it’s about intentionality. It’s not about the gifts—it’s about consistently showing up in the day-to-day micro-moments that compound into meaningful family impact. Your unwavering presence, emotional bandwidth, and values-driven leadership continue to shape the household ecosystem in ways that cannot be overstated.

Family member is going through a divorce. Her husband is a deadbeat father. Narcissistic, really bad. She’s in a group text chain with several other women. A common thread is each husband had a messed-up or non-present father.

There’s this thing bothering me about my wife… but even if I did, I would never think to post it on social media!

26 timeless parenting tips: 1/ Let them argue their case respectfully. Teaches negotiation and critical thinking 2/ Give them a "heads up," 5 minutes until bedtime, 10 minutes before leaving the playground 3/ Don’t discipline like an angry madman. Stay calm and firm, model how you want THEM to resolve conflict 4/ Look at the world more through their eyes 5/ Skip the long lectures 6/ Use natural consequences: forgot homework? Let them explain it to the teacher. Forgot their lunch? They'll figure it out 7/ Be consistent and follow through. "We are leaving the playground if you don't stop..." 8/ Make "How can I help?" part of YOUR vocabulary. It builds reliability 9/ Share your unseen efforts: hustling for work, hitting the gym. Actions speak louder than words but when they can’t see it, TELL THEM 10/ Teach accountability by modeling it yourself: “I was wrong. sorry” 11/ Create family traditions like weekly movie nights, Sunday pancakes, whatever works 12/ More game nights 13/ Take an interest in their interests: video games, books, sports... do it with them. 14/ Hike together. Nature slows time and generates gratitude 15/ Build something. LEGO, puzzles, a fort, the Amazon delivery box 16/ Teach them skills: tie knots, start a fire, read a map 17/ Introduce chess or checkers. Start early 18/ Let them plan a family outing or navigate you there (they can get you through the airport) 19/ Always greet your wife with love. That moment sets the tone for the family 20/ Share some challenges (age appropriate) 21/ Respect their privacy.

Don’t hang out with people that say “just wait til you turn 40” Rethink what’s possible. i learned to slide at 47

Daughter wants to run for club Treasurer and needed to make a speech. I said, “Great. Let’s talk about the why” “Well...uh...it looks good for college...I want to be a leader?” Shoulder shrug, sheepish smile. She knew that wasn’t the answer 🤣 I forced myself not to give it to her. So I started asking questions: What's the club mission? How can you help it accomplish that objective? What skills do you have that would help? You think they care more about your personal goals...or the goals of the group? We got to the store, ran an errand, and got back in the car. I said, “OK, quick game. On the spot. You’re on stage. No prep. Give me your speech” She did a great job! Needs work, but round 1 was strong.

I scooped my daughter from school today & said we can do anything you want! -Puzzle. -Board games. -Eat some ice cream. "I WANT YOU TO GO ON BEAST GAMES DAD!!" We don't even have cable, Netflix, or any streaming except Prime so we could watch all season 1 & 2 together! Season 3 is battle of the countries & I hope to represent the USA 🇺🇸. If I get on or don't we had a ton of fun shooting the videos, pictures, & filling out the questions together! I don't ask for much on here, but can you guys RT this & tag the legend @MrBeast!! Maybe that'll help my chances!! If I get on & win I'll come back to this post & reward everyone that helped spread the word!!! If Mr. Beast likes this tweet I'll do 1,000 pushups tomorrow!

It’s a sad day in our house This espresso machine is 15 years old. We got it with our first kid was born Turning it over to our chief home mechanic(son) to see what he can do

We took a trip to a beach hotel that allowed dogs, so we brought the pet. Things get a little harder but we did it for the fun and togetherness. That means not everything is simple. Some want the beach. Some want the pool. Gotta consider the dog everywhere we go. It was a busy weekend, service is slow: "you guys watch the pup. I'm going to get us food. Ask mom what she wants and text me. If the waitress shows up while I'm gone, let me know" Adjust. Help. Keep things moving. Teach your family to be helpful. Be the kind of people others want to invite and have on a trip. These things might seem small, but your kids become reliable and learn to operate like a team if you lead by example.

You should have this mindset regardless of your net worth

Airport security lines non existent this weekend. Traveled two major airports and TSA lines took less than 1 minute each.
