Success And The Changing Scoreboard

SPEAKER_00

I've been an entrepreneur since 2010. I've been in the wholesaling industry since 2014. And over that time, I've been blessed in ways I still don't fully know how to explain. I've closed thousands of deals, I've done business in all 50 states. I've been able to build companies, create opportunities, travel, speak, teach, provide for my family, and experience things that the younger version of me used to only dream about. And I'm grateful for all of it. But as you get older, something starts to happen. The scoreboard starts to look different. The things that you used to chase so hard, they still matter. They don't carry the same weight. The deal matters, the money matters, the win matters, but not as much as you thought it did. Because eventually you start asking yourself a different question. Not what did I accomplish, but who did I become while accomplishing it? And maybe even more importantly, who was I to the people around

Studying Greatness And Kyle Bush

SPEAKER_00

me? For most of my life, I've been fascinated by greatness. I've always studied people who were elite at their craft. Athletes, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs. I want to know how they think, how they prepare, and how they handle pressure, how they separate themselves from everyone else. Because greatness leaves clues. And when someone reaches the top of their field, I believe there is always something to learn from them. On May 21st, the world lost one of the greatest race car drivers of all time, Kyle Bush. I met Kyle in 2016 before the NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway. And whether you loved him or you rooted against him, you could never deny the greatness. Kyle was one of those people who forced you to have an opinion. He was intense, fierce, competitive, emotional, but also unapologetic. He didn't race like someone trying to be liked, he raced like someone trying to win. And he did win a lot. Kyle Bush holds the record for the most combined victories across NASCAR's three national series with 234 wins. His final victory came May 15th, just days before he passed away. Think about that. A man who spent his life chasing speed, excellence, and victory was still doing what he was great at until the very end. And when someone like that passes, it's natural to look at the resume: the wins, the records, the championships,

What People Remember After You Are Gone

SPEAKER_00

the history, the numbers. But over the days that followed his passing, as I watched people talk about Kyle, something stood out about it. They weren't just talking about the driver, they were talking about the person. They talked about him as a husband and as a father and as a friend, as someone who cared, someone who showed up, someone who made people feel seen, someone who gave more than most people ever even knew. And that hit me because when you're alive, the world loves to measure what you are by what you do, how much money you made, how many deals you closed, how many trophies you won, how big your business got, how many people knew your name. But when you're gone, people don't stand around telling stories about your spreadsheet. They tell stories about your heart. They remember the conversation. They remember the encouragement. They remember the time you answered the phone when you didn't have to. They remember the moment you made them feel like they mattered. They remember how you treated them when there was nothing in it for you. And that's the part that we forget while we're still chasing. I'll be honest,

Building A Life Not A Scoreboard

SPEAKER_00

entrepreneurship can make you forget it because entrepreneurship rewards obsession. It rewards sacrifice, it rewards the person willing to work longer, push harder, take more risk, and carry more pressure. And for a season that can be necessary. You cannot build something meaningful without discipline. You cannot become great without commitment. You cannot win consistently without sacrifice. But at some point, you have to ask yourself Am I building a life or am I building a scoreboard? Because there is a difference. A scoreboard can tell people what you did, but your life tells people who you were. And I think that is where so many of us get it wrong. We judge ourselves by our production. We judge ourselves by our bank account. We judge ourselves by our closings and our rankings and our views, our revenue, our growth, our status. We wake up every day asking, Am I doing enough? But maybe the better question is: Am I being enough? Am I being present enough? Am I being patient enough? Am I being generous enough? Am I being the kind of person my family actually gets to experience, not just benefit from? Am I being the kind of leader people feel safe around? Am I being the kind of friend who doesn't disappear when life gets inconvenient? Because one day, all of us become a memory. And I don't say that to be dark. I say that because it is clarifying. One day, people will tell stories about us, and we don't fully get to decide what they say. We decide that now, in the way that we live, in the way that we love, in the way that we lead, in the way that we handle success, and in the way that we handle pressure, in the way that we treat people who could do nothing for us. I've closed a lot of deals, and I'm proud of that. I've built businesses, and I'm also proud of that. I've won in ways that the younger version of me would have been amazed by. I don't want to be only remembered

Becoming Someone Worth Remembering

SPEAKER_00

for doing deals. I don't want my legacy to be a transaction. I don't want the best thing people can say about me was that I was good at making money or closing deals. I want to be remembered for the conversation I chose to have when someone needed me, for the truth I told when it would have been easier to stay quiet, for the people I helped when nobody was watching, for the moments I was present when everything in me wanted to do something else or keep working, for the way I made my family feel, for the way I made my team feel, for the way that I made people believe they can become more than they thought they could. That's the real legacy. And I think that's what I learned from watching people talk about Kyle Bush. You can be great at what you do and still be remembered most for who you were. You can chase excellence and still prioritize people, you can compete at the highest level and still love deeply. You can win and still understand that winning is not the whole point. Because in the end, the records matter, they're not the final story. The money matters, but it does not hug your kids. The business matters, but it does not sit beside someone when they're hurting. The accomplishments matter, they're not the same thing as impact. So, yes, chase greatness, build the business, close the deals, win, push yourself, become excellent, but don't become so obsessed with being remembered for what you built that you forget to become someone worth remembering. Because the people closest to you are not waiting for you to accomplish one more thing. They're waiting for you to be there. Maybe that's the lesson. Maybe the goal isn't just to be the best at what we do, the goal is to be the best version of who we are while we still have time to show everyone.
