If You Can’t Win in 2025, You Can’t Win (and what you should be doing)

But weaponizing your children goes back to what Brene Brown says, which is clear as kind, unclear as unkind. like I could tell you horror stories you wouldn't believe from my hockey, coaching young kids in hockey, power skating, is the COVID kids especially, the China virus kids especially, five to zero, It's a culture of quitters coming.

If You Can’t Win in 2025, You Can’t Win (and what you should be doing)

Now, I'm not one of these guys who ever used to say, oh, well, the next generation. I'm not saying that at all. The China virus crippled what's coming. So I'll start out, Ryan, with 50 kids in a low-income skating program on a September. By Thanksgiving, I got 25 kids. That means mom and dad let 25 kids quit. I'm not upset that the kids want to quit. Every kid wants to quit.

If You Can’t Win in 2025, You Can’t Win (and what you should be doing)

I want to quit every day. But the fact that the parents are so soft as fucking shit that they let these kids start quitting when they're 2, 3, 4, and 5... That's a crippling habit. My dad calls it patronizing. So if you want to raise cupcake kids and snowflake kids and poodles, just lie to your kids all the time and patronize them. And eighth place trophies, like you said, is the secret to this.

Our kids are afraid of failure because of eighth place trophies. Now you're doing the right job where you know what? Bill Parcells said it best. When Bill Parcells, in my opinion, the greatest football coach in history, the scoreboard says who's best. The scoreboard says who's best. And that's the way you can get better when the scoreboard doesn't say you're the best. But you nailed it.

Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind. So when you have these cupcake parents, they think they're helping their children when actually, Ryan, they're crippling them for life.

If You Can’t Win in 2025, You Can’t Win (and what you should be doing)

So when I have an elite man, a generous, a driven man come to me, buys my book, he joins my mastermind, whatever the hell he does, the number one thing, and the only thing, like one of your speeches, the only thing that I could, one thing to 10X his life is the first thing I say, Ryan, like whether he was a pro hockey player, pro football player, whether he's a nine-figure entrepreneur, a man without a mission is a man without balls.

So we don't go any further than that. And I get these men and some brave women in my program, and they think about when they get up in the morning, they pray about their mission. When they go to bed at night, they ask their subconscious to think about their mission. When they go for a walk in the morning for an hour, half an hour outside without their phone, they think about their mission.

They talk to their kids about their mission. They talk to their wife about their mission. It's all about the mission. Any great leader that you've developed that's gone from a people pleaser or one of these cupcakes or one of these poodles is a man or a woman on a mission. And a man or a woman with no mission, they have no mental balls whatsoever.

So when a guy like you goes to a barbecue or a ball game or to church and somebody walks up to you, you can instantly tell whether they are a man on a mission. You can see it, Ryan, in their eyes. You can feel it in their voice, their high frequency, their high agency, their body language. They cannot not talk about their mission.

When they talk to a guy like you, you get chills and they get chills. When they talk about their mission, it's like the hair starts to stand up on the back of our head. And it's contagious. And the leaders that are on a mission, all of a sudden they become magnetic to money. Money quickly becomes no problem. Money loves a man on a mission. They become magnetic to the opposite sex.
