Tomorrow is 9/11. 25 years.

This week I was told a message I posted on firefighter health and wellness needed to come down. Not because of what I said. Because of the shirt I had on. Too controversial.

That message wasn’t for clicks. Wasn’t for my business. It was because too many firefighters, cops, and first responders are getting hurt, going out on injury, or can’t serve the way they should because of their health. Physical and mental.

Tomorrow we remember guys who climbed dozens of flights of stairs to carry people out on their backs. How many fewer people make it out if those guys can’t make that climb?

That’s the whole point.

My message was supposed to sting a little. Supposed to make someone look in the mirror. In what world is that not worth supporting?

If your feelings got hurt by being told to take care of yourself so you can actually do this job, you probably needed to hear it.

I’ll help any firefighter, cop, or first responder who wants to fix this. That offer stands.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

Ok.. let’s try this again.. now with 100% blurred department logo on my shirt that makes chiefs unhappy…you can censor my shirt, but you can’t censor my opinion

***ATTENTION FIREFIGHTERS, COPS AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS***

You took an oath. Not a temporary one. Not one with an expiration date the day you passed your CPAT or PT test.

You’ll drop everything to learn the newest rescue technique. But when’s the last time you actually trained your body like the job depends on it?

You can’t run scenarios for the worst day of someone’s life and then treat your own health like an afterthought. That’s a lie you’re telling yourself.

And it’s not just physical. If you’re carrying calls home and calling it fine… it’s neglect with a badge on it.

Getting in the gym isn’t extra. Taking care of your mind isn’t soft. It’s the job. All of it.

If this made you uncomfortable, GOOD. Sit with that. Then go do something about it.

20 years running into burning buildings. Almost as many running a business. Here’s what I’ve learned about empathy: not caring is easy. Empathy is hard.

Anybody can shut it off. It takes real strength to stay open to what someone else is going through and still do what needs to be done.

The people I respect most are the ones strong enough to still feel something after enduring lots of hard things.

Empathy isn’t weakness. It’s load-bearing.

Some of the smartest people I’ve ever heard about are career criminals.

Think about what it actually takes to run a successful operation outside the law. Logistics, risk management, reading people, staying three steps ahead, building loyalty, problem solving under pressure. That’s genius level ex*****on. They just pointed it at the wrong target.

And it’s easy to see it there because it’s so extreme. The talent is obvious when the outcome is that dramatic.

But here’s what I keep coming back to. That same level of excellence is happening all around us in quiet ways we never notice. The guy who’s been running the same machine for 20 years and can hear when something’s about to break. The mom juggling three kids and a full time job who never drops a ball. The coach who reads a room and knows exactly what someone needs to hear.

We don’t call that genius. We call it normal. But it isn’t.

The difference between someone who changes the world and someone nobody notices usually isn’t talent. It’s direction. What did they aim it at, and did anyone ever tell them it mattered.

So look at your own life. Where are you already pushing out excellence and just not giving yourself credit for it? Because I promise it’s there.

When you don’t know your core values, every decision is a coin flip.

Should I take the job? Have the hard conversation? Say no to something good so I can say yes to something better? Without values, you’re just guessing and hoping it works out.

With them, the answer is usually already made.

Core values are the filter you run decisions through when things get hard. When you’re tired, stressed, and the easy way out is right there.

For me it comes down to a few non-negotiables. Show up for my family. Do what I say I’m going to do. Leave people and places better than I found them. When a decision lines up with those, I move. When it doesn’t, I don’t. Doesn’t matter how good it looks on paper.

Guiding principles do the same thing on the daily stuff. They keep you consistent when motivation runs out, and motivation always runs out.

If you’ve never written yours down, do it. Three to five things you refuse to compromise on. Then watch how much faster and cleaner your decisions get.

What’s one value you won’t budge on?
