Why is application and bridge important? Why is it so important to do a self and brotherhood check in mid week? I used to find myself asking those same questions. One of the first things I came to realize is that my brotherhood helps me to stay accountable which is us all walking shoulder to shoulder. Then checking in with myself helps me continue to build myself brick by brick. These aren’t just words or an opportunity to fill your time, they’re an opportunity to help us continue to learn from one another, hold each other accountable, and build ourselves one brick at a time. BROTHERHOOD!!! Don’t waste this precious time in your life, make every moment in every decision count! Let’s get at it gentleman

Thank you gentlemen for showing up, being vulnerable and sharing insights with others!

Really been thinking about integrity...A LOT. I've been questioning my own integrity...do I practice what I preach? Am I living my life with integrity, living and being consistent, even when no one's watching? How about those around me? Are they living with integrity? Am I surrounding myself with those that hold that same mindset? To answer the question of my own integrity, I will say yes...for the most part. I find that I can work on it, be more consistent and not feel as though I am a hypocrite, giving those around me the "wrong idea". I do feel like this from time to time, being a hypocrite, or not being at all consistent, but I can't worry about others, have to worry about myself, and keep living the way I have, striving to be a good person, a better person, and dare say...a good example....GASP! As I look in the mirror: “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.” ― Marcus Aurelius Shoulder to Shoulder, Brick by Brick.

Where in life do you need to step into more confidence and spiritual leadership?

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.
