Looking to transform your law practice into a thriving business? Join me at 'TakeCharge' on Sept. 18-19, 2025! I will be featured as a presenter on 'Managing Growth and Abundance' and building a law firm practice into a BUSINESS instead of just a place where you simply have more than one job that grinds your heart and soul away. Learn systems, operations, scalability, client service, talent acquisition and more.

The Olympics, I love the Olympics. Few events bring out core human nature like the Olympics. Human tendencies exemplified during the Olympics:

1. People with less than 1/100th the capability of others comfortably critiquing experts and all-time greats on their performance. Happens every day. People critique professionals on their work despite not having any studies or experience in the applicable space.

2. People complaining about outcomes they don't like mostly because of their ignorance of the rules and/or full facts and circumstances.

3. The injection of interpersonal drama into excellence and celebration, just because the absence of drama isn't sufficiently stimulating.

4. Big time people doing their biggest and best work on the biggest stage because some folks are just built like that.

5. Attractiveness correlating to positive association and support. Folks out here selling out their own country because the competitors from the other country are attractive.

6. Meetings with the unfairness of life. How crazy is it to prepare for 3.9 years, be favored to prove you are top 3 in the world, and not even get a chance to compete because of any number of wicked happenings during the 19 days of the Olympics out of your control. Keep that in mind the next time you think you lost out due to bad luck. Life is a lot of things, but fair ain't one of them.

7. Dedication pays off regardless. Especially in the face of item 6 above. Even for those who experience the devastating misfortune of not being able to compete or perform at their level best because of injury, sub-optimal rest and pre-comp preparation conditions, etc., they are still winners, and successful because they gave themselves the opportunity in the first place, they have stories of discipline, persistence, strength, courage and power that are greater than a medal. They can lean on those to get through things until their last breath on this here Earth.

Congratulations to all the Olympians competing in the 2024 Olympics. They are the world's greatest athletes, all of them.
