In this episode, I sit down with myself—solo again—checking in from Tallinn, Estonia. I share thoughts on growing up, parenting, and why competition might be one of the best teachers. I start by reflecting on a birthday message from friends and how Little League Baseball shaped the way I think about determination, toughness and the need to prove something—even at age 6.

Then I get into heavier stuff—the recent Iran-Israel conflict and what it says about leadership, media narratives, and military strategy. I walk through some of today's headlines, talk about Trump’s approach to foreign policy, and share thoughts on the kind of strength that doesn’t always show up in headlines, but it matters.
