One of the major indicators of someone’s success is their ability to acknowledge how much they DON’T know. Amateurs beat their chest about how much they know. But, when it comes to the champions of the world.. The people who keep winning… Instead of stroking their ego over how much they know… They’re looking at how much they don’t know… What they can improve on… Where they are lacking… And they work on it every single day. Remember two things… 1. You can’t level up if you keep thinking you know everything. 2. No matter how good you are, you always have room for improvement. Don’t stand in your own way and get left behind. You can always do better. ~ Andy Frisella

There are parts of my job that can become routine—but every now and then, you get an experience that reminds you why you signed up in the first place. Last week, I had the opportunity to work a protection detail for the Secretary of the Navy. As a former Marine, that carried a little extra meaning for me, given the Corps falls under the Department of the Navy. It was one of those rare, full-circle moments—and likely a once-in-a-career experience. To top it off, one of the Troopers in the motorcade told me I had the best-looking suit in the group. I’ll take that as a win. Grateful for the opportunity, the people I got to work alongside, and the reminder that even in a routine job, there are still moments that stand out.

This afternoon I dropped Robin off at The Columbus Guitar Society meeting and then I drove over to Milano’s Menswear. I received several compliments from the staff on today’s outfit and I bought four pairs of socks while I was there. Today’s outfit started with the scarf and scarf ring I bought a week ago. From there I grabbed the white, grey and white striped shirt whose colors play off of the scarf, my red denim trousers, ny Chili Daltons, brown Irish tweed waist coat and a brown felt cap.
