You don’t grow a mustache like this without doing some serious shit.
Shane Barnes did bad things to some bad people as a 160th Nightstalker.
Most notable- an operation a couple years back that killed the top ISIS leader.
Shane didn’t miss.
He took my spot on that home. The result was a bad dude dead and the birth of my daughter 9 months later.
He pushed me- and I pushed him. The type of relationship that accelerates your life.
Shane was killed when the force positioned across the world to help our allies.
He left behind a very young family.

A masterclass in simplicity + consistency
Andy could have chosen to do Top 1 and Urgent vs Important rather than what he has been doing.
Results would likely have been the same- the key is the consistency.

I’ve started every day like this for the last 1,191 days straight.
Impossible to not get better.

You guys are in some tough industries
You guys are in some tough industries.
We keep one month’s expenses in the bank, grow at 80-100% a year, and still have 25-30% net margins.
We have never worried about not having cash in the bank, needing a credit line, or missing payroll.
Grateful to be in pest control every day.

I too like to microdose
The best exercise people over 35 aren't doing is microdosing plyometrics.
We lose power at 2x the rate we lose strength.
Our joints and bones need stress to stay strong.
I do these before a workout. I started with small hops and worked my way up to depth jumps.
Aim for 3 d you get the bonus of waking up your nervous system.

My life is an ever-evolving series of decisions that look something like this:
"I could pay a guy $200 to do this, or I could spend $1,200 on a Milwaukee Packout and do it myself (maybe)."
"I could pay a guy $200 to do this, or I could spend $1,200 on a Milwaukee Packout and do it myself (maybe)."
This morning I connected a wall drop to connect my new server cabinet. Cost me $30 with new tools.
The last time I had a low voltage guy out he was so stoned be connected the wrong port and charged me $160 for the privilege.
Guy rules mean I got to get new tools so win win.

“Lowering the cognitive load”
I ended the summer at 207 lbs feeling mentally exhausted and underwhelmed with where I was at personally and in my business.
My findings during the last couple of months of turning things around:
- you don’t change until you feel like you have no other choice: I felt like physical state would be untenable. I decided I’d do anything to turn it around
- less is more: I call this finding the “lowest cognitive load” activity. I have walked with a 30 lb ruck on my back every single day. I don’t contemplate what my workout is. And I don’t guess whether I should do it or not bc all I have to do is get the ruck on. And I need to walk my dog anyway.
- consistency is better than perfect: I’ve had days where I miss a workout or don’t get everything done I wanted in my business. In prior attempts at new routines, I’d build these ridiculous structures that were untenable. And once I slipped on one thing, the whole routine fell apart. Just find the basic actions that move the needle and do them as much as possible
I’m going to take this same mindset and attack my company’s financial performance. Rn we’re at about 60K MRR even though we do 230-250K per month in revenue. My goal is to have our team focus on simple daily action that drives us to 200K MRR

Yes, paper maps and a compass....
With my instructor after my first solo in a 1974 Cessna 172. All steam gauges. I flew from FXE to Naples using paper charts, timers, and visual cues. No GPS. No autopilot.
I love the technology in my Vision Jet, but there’s real safety value in keeping your hand-flying skills or the controls, how the airplane responds, and when something doesn’t feel right.
That familiarity matters in an emergency. If the automation disconnects or isn’t doing what you expect, you still need to fly the airplane—not relearn its handling in that moment. Could that have saved the Learjet?
Navigation skills matter too. If GPS fails or gets jammed, knowing how to use VORs, available ground-based approaches, and charts gives you alternatives. In suitable conditions, navigating by landmarks and heading-and-time calculations still has a place.
I don’t practice these skills enough myself, and I should. It’s easy to get comfortable with the technology doing so much for you.
Be honest, how often do you practice hand-flying and navigating without GPS?
