Late night message in The Nest
Hey Team,
I want to take a moment to talk about what keeps me motivated. Late at night, I find myself watching videos of people living their dreams—succeeding against all odds. It’s that raw joy they experience that fires me up. Like when Usain Bolt crossed the finish line to break the 100m record, or that no-name singer on ‘America’s Got Talent’ who puts everything on the line, hits every note, and wins over the crowd.
But nothing hits me harder than the moments I’ve captured of you all—PRs, big meet days, that pure joy when you see your hard work pay off. Watching those moments reminds me of why we do this. It’s about chasing that feeling. That moment when it all comes together and makes every drop of sweat, every early morning, and every sacrifice worth it.
There’s something about the broken man or woman—someone who has hit rock bottom, been through adversity, and realized they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. That kind of person dedicates and sacrifices everything, even when they have nothing, and somehow achieves greatness. That fire, that drive, is what inspires me. It’s what reminds me that greatness is possible, no matter the obstacles. And I see that same potential in each of you. Let’s keep building toward those moments together.
