![]() ![]() There's somebody who's flying some medication over the freaking Arctic Ocean to a family living in the bushes of Alaska. If he cuts too deeply, it's going suck him inside of it and liquify his body as the negative pressure inside sucks him into it.Īnd there's a guy climbing a cell tower to change a lightbulb and there's a girl scaling the side of a skyscraper to wash a window. Or there's a guy in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico that's welding a pipe. He's not going get another job within the industry because he's destroyed his reputation. If the shaft breaks, he's going to get fired and then he's starving. If he makes a mistake, it's going to blow up and kill everybody with him. There's a dude in midland Texas that gets up at 2:00 in the morning and he works for 14 hours every single day for 30 days straight, driving a drill straight down into the earth to get us oil. The only way that's possible is that we have people doing these crazy jobs that nobody knows about. What does that look like? That's my kids being able to get up and go to school and then go to college and then get a job and then buy a house and be able to have drinkable water and food for their families and live out their dreams and repeat.

Coming back from deployments overseas, being truly with the most elite units within Special Forces, I had my team sergeant say, "Hey, bro, you suck at this Army stuff, so you're gonna go to Ranger School. I've been in some of the most elite units within special operations. I fought for two world titles and I've never been the world champion, which means I lost both of those world titles. So it's not really modesty and it's not humility it's maybe just getting humbled so often, so frequently, that every time that I try to look like the best or the brightest or the most brilliant or toughest, it gets put back in my face. Or everything that I should be doing, they do better. I think it's that I am surrounded by a bunch of people that are better at everything that I do. ![]() Is that modesty, or what's going on here?
