Funny photo. Serious story: So I want to encourage all of you to find that cartoon character, that superhero that you are, that's buried down in there underneath whatever society or your parents or your old friends or your current family or whoever holds you back, whoever says that's too big. Why would you go for that kind of a deal? Why would you try to do this? Why wouldn't you just be happier doing something smaller? And that's who you guys get to be able to play every single day if you want to become the person you want to be. I'm not who I want to be yet. Every single day there's a gap. So I just pretend to be the person I want to become. I pretend to be the person with all the confidence. I pretend to be the person who doesn't care if he fails. And by the end of the day, I'm feeling in alignment. The next morning I have to wake up and start over. Every. Single. Day. But that's how I've gotten here. If you guys want to steal my way of doing it, maybe Beyonce, maybe every successful person does this and just doesn't talk about it. But whatever you have to be to become your own superhero. And I think the unique angle and aspect that we have here in this group, it's not just for us. I don't play this character for myself. I do it for you guys, and I do it for the animals. So if we all feel that same way, I don't see there's any way that we fail if we all keep showing up this way. That's my take. I don't know how other leaders show up, but that's how I do it. Every single morning I get up and I pretend. I play pretend like a little kid because at the end of the day, you guys see my content. I am a little kid. I've got this funny mindset, I think at least. And that's how I've been able to show up for you guys. So I encourage you to steal that and use it yourself.

Ok so to start this off I pulled a major stupid the other day. I was slicing potatoes with a mandolin slicer to make homemade potato chips and removed a safety device to squeeze the last bit of real estate out of a potato. End result is probably obvious (and should've been to me) but I took a chunk out of my thumb. Side lesson, don't remove or ignore safety devices. 😅 Anyway, the chunk was pretty large so I ended up having to pop into the ER and get it patched up. No big deal, but I did lose probably a couple pints worth of blood in the process (enough to feel weak and woozy, not enough to be seriously concerning). Now to the medical advice bit. The number one thing I was told (and internet research agreed) was to eat as much red meat as I could in the following days to heal. A quick secondary search told me the reason this was recommended was to replace the iron content in my blood ASAP to avoid fatigue, exhaustion, and anemia (none of which is life threatening, btw, at least in my case). A third quick search revealed that there was no demonstrable benefit to eating red meat over leafy greens and/or taking an iron supplement for a while. So, long story short, I'm bolstering my greens intake and took five minutes while in town to pick up an iron supplement. So much information out there is not targeted cruelty, it's the comfort of "what's always worked" with a dash of "couldn't be bothered to do five minutes of additional research." It's the quiet, familiar, cruelty that creeps into places like medical information. This is not a post to tell you not to listen to medical professionals, 9 times out of 10 you should, but just to confirm for for those who need an example that it's also ok to do your own research and make your own decisions when medical professionals tell you to ignore your ethics without a valid reason for doing so. Stay strong squad. 🥬💪💚
