[LL]: Deliberate Discomfort is Your Shortcut to Growth
Hey Leader! 🙌 Let’s talk about discomfort. Not the kind that sneaks up on you, but the kind you choose. In August 2015, I landed in Brazil and met a woman who changed my life. Tatiana.

[LL]: Flexibility is a Leadership Promise
Hey Leader! 🙌 At the end of last year, I was in pain. Literally. I run daily, I lift hard, but my body was so tight it started breaking down. I was hitting a wall, not from lack of effort but from lack of flexibility. So I made a decision. I declared 2025 the Year […]

[LL]: Chop Wood, Carry Water, Lead Well

[LL]: The Billionaire in Flip-Flops
Hey Leader! 🙌 This past Thursday, I attended a Navy SEAL Foundation dinner, an electric night of patriotism, sacrifice, and strength. But what struck me most wasn’t the ceremony or even the SEALs… It was the keynote speaker. Palmer Luckey. At first glance, he looked out of place. Disheveled. Young. Like he might’ve wandered in […]
[LL]: Repetition is the Mother of Leadership
Hey Leader! 🙌 Let me remind you of two core truths: Repetition is the mother of skill and learning. When you teach, you learn the most. Last week, those weren’t just ideas. They were the pre-training mindset message to our Fit Body Mastermind, led by Sarah Manning—Head Coach for Sarah Dumont and a 14-year Fit […]
[LL]: The Ultimate Leadership Freedom
Leaders! 🙌 Last week, I walked the grounds of Auschwitz for the second time. Not because I wanted to… but because I needed to. I was in Poland for a family wedding (more on that soon), and something in my spirit said, “Go again.” Why? Because real leadership requires studying human nature—not just the highlight […]
[LL] Why Strong Leaders Still Need Coaches
Leaders! 🙌 This week, I shared a Monday Mindset message titled “The Power of Guidance (And Why I Almost Missed It).” Today, I want to double down on that insight—this time, through a leadership lens.

[Language of Leadership] The First Person You Must Lead
Leaders! 🙌 Last year, we hosted a Discovery Day at HQ for a prospective Fit Body franchise partner. Smart guy. Former military. Sharp operator. He’d been following Bedros and me for a while—and was serious about building something big. We started the day with a workout at BK Strength, and midway through the warm-up, he […]
