AJ had two helpings of breakfast and said, “It’s my fault, you told me it was okay as long as I’m aware.” Let’s be clear: Awareness is not accountability. Permission is not discipline. Understanding the standard is not living it. Accountability means: “I own my choices, even when no one is watching.” Growth happens when a man stops outsourcing responsibility and starts carrying it. No excuses. No blame. Just ownership. That’s how leaders are built. Brick by brick. Root by root.

Another powerful meeting in the books. Gentlemen, tonight was an honor. I respect every one of you for showing up, standing tall, and choosing to be the men you were created to be. Brick by brick. 💪
