And this morning, which is a Thursday, the team arrived at 9.30 AM.

We kicked off a team lift, which was awesome.

We all went into the gym together.

And we threw down.

Everyone was training in their style.

We had people doing strength workouts.

Me and some of the guys did a back and biceps workout.

There were people on treadmills.

Oz is training for his first half Ironman.

So he was on his bike doing an hour endurance bike session.

There were some high rocks circuits going down.

So we trained for an hour and then Eric from El Hombre Taco pulled his truck up behind HQ, served tacos to everyone.

And then after that, we had about an hour meeting talking about some initiatives we're working on here at BPN and just some thoughts that I wanted to share with the team.

And some of those things that I share with the team are incorporated into today's question and answer.

I also had this realization this past month and I just felt called to share this.

It's been an observation at most, but I think what's been so interesting or one of the things that's been very interesting about building this organization and sharing my life online since 2014.

You know, I've been documenting

everything for the last 12 years.

I started BPN in 2012.

And as many of you know, those first couple of years were brutal.
