Thank you very much, Cody. Probably wasn't easy to share, but we are all better for having read that. Keep up the great work, and "remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matt. 28:20

Thanks, Nico! Sometimes the best way to calm your heart is to just be open & honest. Needed to get that stuff off my chest & pay those lessons forward. Thanks for the passage, too.

I can’t believe this is the first time

I’ve read this. Really hits home! You do a great job, and I wish I had more time

to read your work. If you haven’t read Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx, it’s one of my favorites . Thank you for being real!

Just read this as a new subscriber. I am a VP of Sales and just an 11U youth football coach. Nothing sexy (and more worried about being a leader with no title). The amount of knowledge I have found here and the humility is refreshing and a good lesson and reminder for me in my day job and coaching football. Thanks Cody.

11U is doing God's work, man! I have a 7th grade & can only imagine coaching him. 😂 Really appreciate it, Justin! Just trying to pay it forward.
