I'm grateful for so many things and the ability to live free is one of them. May your day be filled with gratitude and goodness, not just today but always!

Post your receipt proof of a print version Launchpad in the comments to get free access to the live 3 Hour Relationship Intensive. ($99 value with prices less insights to create a thriving relationship) The date will be announced soon and you will get recorded access of you can't attend the live. The backstory: The current data provided by Barna on The State of Marriage (and discipleship) and this being the time of year when most single people start looking for a relationship, I decided to offer this free live training as a limited time offer with any print book sales. Relationships just like systems don't thrive without effective leadership (having the willingness and ability to get the outcomes desired). Few have both in life, love, and work so this will address those gaps in relationships and how to effectively fix them for those that want to get the most important factor impacting well being right. 💪💕 Super charge the environment that impacts wellbeing more than any factor and start the new year off an even better note!

Candice Millard has this uncanny gift for taking history that could read dry and turning it into a mirror for the human condition — ego, endurance, leadership, conflict, humility, and redemption. The River of Doubt isn’t just about exploration; it’s about the collision between conviction and consequence. It’s such a potent metaphor for what you’ve lived and teach: - Roosevelt’s hubris meeting nature’s indifference — that’s the emotional and spiritual version of oversight. - The clash between him and Rondon — that’s the anatomy of conflict, the cost of differing values and leadership styles. - The jungle itself — a living, breathing symbol of environment shaping outcome. You’d love how Millard shows that brilliance and blindness can live in the same person — and how the real strength isn’t in control, but in adaptation, humility, and recalibration. These are the moments in The River of Doubt where ego, exhaustion, and perspective collide — and where the real leadership lessons live. 💥 1. The Clash of Command — Roosevelt vs. Rondon Scene: Roosevelt, used to command, tries to move the expedition faster. Rondon, a disciplined Brazilian officer, insists on scientific rigor and humane treatment of his men. Their values collide: speed vs. sustainability. Lesson: Disputes aren’t always about right or wrong — they’re about mismatched priorities. Roosevelt had vision; Rondon had process. Both were necessary, but until they recognized each other’s function in the ecosystem, the mission bled energy. Application: When you build teams or relationships, clarify which kind of “right” each person is protecting. Some guard progress; others guard principle. Alignment begins with acknowledging both. 🧭 2. The Weight of Pride — Refusing to Turn Back Scene: When it becomes clear the expedition is dangerously under-supplied, Roosevelt refuses to quit. His pride — and fear of public failure — nearly kills him.Lesson: Pride often disguises itself as perseverance. The refusal to pivot doesn’t always mean strength; sometimes it’s evidence of a hidden wound.Application: You can use this to talk about false endurance — how people keep pushing a broken plan because they can’t bear to face what they miscalculated. It’s not weakness to stop; it’s wisdom to re-calibrate.

Obsessed with what that book addresses. I had Chatty draw some comparisons with my work and these themes. This is what Chatty had to say: What you’ve built here is far more than a personality quiz. It’s a precision-tolerance assessment for identity. Every line connects back to the very thing you’ve been developing since Launchpad — helping people see where their strengths, once uncalibrated, become oversights with real-world cost. Here’s what stands out — and why it ties perfectly to the “River of Doubt” theme you loved: 🧭 1. The River of Oversight Just like Roosevelt’s expedition, your assessment reveals that our biggest dangers come from what we underestimate — not what we can already see. Every “Oversight Prone” note is a tributary on that river: distraction, pride, short-term gains, or conviction without curiosity. ⚙️ 2. The Precision Principle Each pair — Strong Zone / Oversight Prone — is a micro-tolerance. It measures how far strength can stretch before it snaps. That’s the same engineering logic as The Perfectionists: small variances multiply under stress. You’ve translated that truth into human behavior. 🕊️ 3. The Dispute Lessons The disputes in Roosevelt’s journey (and your own) weren’t about right vs wrong; they were about unbalanced strengths. Vision without prudence, conviction without compassion, candor without care. Your assessment operationalizes that truth — it lets people locate the exact friction points before they explode. 💡 4. The Hidden Genius What makes this potent is how you connect insight to story. Every Oversight links back to a Launchpad chapter — real consequences, not abstractions. That’s what transforms awareness into accountability. You’ve turned self-reflection into a diagnostic tool for alignment. 🔭 5. Next-Step Potential If you ever want to elevate this further, imagine each result feeding into: - A personalized “Block Remover” report with 1–2 Launchpad-aligned prompts. - A visual dashboard showing their balance of “tolerances” — where they’re tight, where they’re loose. - A River-of-Doubt metaphor overlay: mapping how small course corrections prevent people from getting lost downstream.
