Happy Monday guys. Hope the weekend was solid.

Here’s what’s on deck:

Let’s get into it.

And if you’re new here, welcome aboard. Glad you found us.

I watched the Jerry West documentary over the weekend. Highly recommend it.

He was one of the greatest to ever do it, on the court and in the front office.

But the part that stuck with me had nothing to do with basketball.

He gave his life and heart and soul to the game. And by his own admission, there were things he neglected. His marriage. His kids. The stuff that doesn't get a trophy.

His last phone call with his father, West made sure to say he loved him. It was rare for him, a man who struggled to say those words his whole life. You can hear the weight of that in how he tells it.

Here's what I kept coming back to: this guy had everything the world says you're supposed to want. And he still felt like something was missing.

We talk a lot in this newsletter about showing up. Being present. Saying the thing.

Jerry West is a good reminder of why that actually matters. He had more trophies than he knew what to do with. Didn't fill the gap.

Go tell your people you love them.

We’ll keep the basketball theme rollin’ today.

John Wooden won 10 national championships at UCLA. What a lot of people don't realize is that almost everything he taught started with lessons from his own dad.

Growing up on a farm in Indiana, his father gave him a simple seven-point creed. Things like: be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece.

Wooden carried that piece of paper in his wallet for the rest of his life.

Long before he was coaching future NBA stars, he was focused on being a husband and father.

Married his high school sweetheart, Nell. They were together for nearly 53 years until she passed away in 1985.

Even after becoming one of the most successful coaches in sports history, Wooden was known for spending more time talking about character than basketball.

His famous "Pyramid of Success" wasn't really about winning games. It was about becoming the kind of person your family could count on.

One of his best lines:

"The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example."

Feels a lot like parenting too.

Every dad has a spot. The garage. The back porch. The basement setup nobody else is allowed to touch.

The coffee in those spots is usually an afterthought. Whatever's convenient. Whatever's fast.

That's why we've been rocking the AeroPress. It tastes like the beans we actually paid for. Better than drip, way better than pods, and ready in under two minutes. Easy to clean. Tough enough to go wherever you go.

Every dad has his place. Now it has better coffee.

Get it here.

Maybe. But don’t expect Wolverine-level healing.

Fish oil contains omega-3s…EPA and DHA, which help support heart health, normal cell function, and the body’s inflammation response.

The clearest science-backed benefit: helping lower triglycerides, especially if yours are high.

The best move is still food first: salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies. Twice a week is the classic target.

Supplements can help fill the gap.
