Good morning, everyone. Here is your Moment of Yes for Wednesday, February— what are we? February 3rd. It's an odd day. It would be a gray day, but I'm out of camp, so I don't need to worry about whether I'm wearing blue or gray today. So I am home, as you can tell. I'm not in a hotel room. I'm not wearing a USA polo or training shirt. It is back in the home, back with the family, back into kind of a home routine, and your first Moment of Yes. Good morning, everyone. So reflecting a little bit on the camp experience and being able to be in a situation where for 23 days getting to see guys come in, train, work out every day, develop every day, and seeing the growth that happened for guys from day 1 to day 23. And just some of them were drastic. And appreciating the process and how that can change from day to day and how the impression of some of these guys on day 1, and then at the end of the, at the end of the camp, were drastically different. And to see how guys progress is really inspiring. And also to think back, for me, that January marked my 1 year on the job, where I got to see some guys that we worked with last January and where they were last January. And to see the strides that some of these guys have made in a year are pretty incredible. And so When we think about our own individual progress, we can look at it from a year perspective and see that for some of these guys, the improvement was drastic. Then we have the micro, what we're able to do on a day-to-day basis over the span of days or weeks to see the progress that can happen. I think the message to me more than anything, and the theme of our camp was win the day. Right, win the day, win today. What can I do today to win this day, to win this moment? And for me, it's recognizing and remembering that nothing is static. Our growth is never static. And so wherever we are today, whether we like it or not, it doesn't matter because it's still not static. If we like where we are today, we still need to continue to work and put in the time. If we don't like where we are today, that's okay. Continue to work and put in the time because nothing is static. And when we commit to the discipline of routine and the discipline of habit and the commitment to improvement, we can make drastic changes in days and weeks. And of course, we can make monumental shifts in the span of months and a year. And so that's your message for today. Don't be— it's just not static. And so we're constantly Trying to just figure out ways to be better, right? To be better. And that doesn't have to be this crazy ADD— not ADD, but OCD approach to improvement. But we can look at our habits and our routines and how we spend our time and just go, how can I be a little bit better? But we're committing, right? We're committing to the consistency of our growth and recognizing that nothing is static. Alright. Speaking of which, this room is a little, little dirty. So improvement-wise, it probably needs to be cleaned. That's your moment of yes for today, everyone. Have a great day.
