  • Surfing Lesson #245: SURFING 🏄🏻‍♂️ NAKED!!
    First off, surfing naked is freaking AMAZING 😱!
    Secondly, it's freaking crazy DANGEROUS 😱😱!
    Is super fun, free, wild, and satisfying.
    There's an amazing sense of power and inspiration that comes with it.
    Yet an incredible amount of vulnerability.
    Covering up and hiding... Our thoughts, our feelings, our fears, our desires, our bodies, etc FEELS SAFE.
    And there's a deceptive "power" that comes with the territory which ultimately only leaves us with shame trapped on the inside
    And ultimately disconnected from everyone, including ourselves.
    On the other hand, as Brené Brown says, shame TALKED about loses its power. The shame can't remain long after it's exposed.
    We own ourselves rather than being owned by our shame.
    But yes, it takes an incredible amount of courage and is impossible when a whole lot of VULNERABILITY!

  • Surfing Lesson #244: The Gift of Frustration
    I've spent most of my life in a "FIGHT OR FLIGHT" RESPONSE 🚨 dealing with frustration.
    Whether Luci seems like she's in the impossible mood,
    Or the kids are driving me crazy,
    Or days like today where I wake up feeling a little under the weather...
    I used to regularly hype myself up, get freaking crazy, compensating for my frustration
    Or I would just say "SCREW IT" and quit for a while.
    Time would pass and I'd feel like everything's better,
    Only to find myself running into the same problem weeks or months down the road again.
    What if there was another path THROUGH frustration instead of fight or flight?
    What if there was a GIFT waiting for you to have the courage to show up and hunt it down in the dark?
    Navigate the night to find the light...

  • Surfing Lesson #243: Sh*tty Surf Sessions
    I don't show up to every surf session on point.
    Not every sprint session in the sand.
    Nor every meditation.
    Nor every conversation with God.
    Sometimes Luci and I have some pretty mediocre conversation...
    And mediocre sex.
    One thing that has terrified me is showing up NOT ON POINT in a Facebook Live or a podcast.
    Reality is we don't ALWAYS show up at the top of our game.
    But it's not sh*t sessions that define us. Nor do the amazing sessions.
    Only our commitment which is mirrors through our RELENTLESS CONSISTENCY in showing through both the sh*t AND amazing sessions

  • Surfing Lesson #242: No Wrong Decision, Alexi...
    Why are making decisions so hard?
    It seems easier to just go with the flow...
    Go with whatever other people want.
    So we just let circumstances or time dictate what we eventually do our don't do.
    And so we drift through this land of "maybe", "hopefully", "probably", "let's see..."
    And day after day, month after month, year after year,
    Our wives trust and depend upon us less and less,
    Our kids lose faith in us and become confused,
    And we as men lose trust IN OURSELVES!
    It's time to rebuild that trust!

  • Surfing Lesson #241: Teaching My Cali To Surf FOR ME!
    We often go out of our way to make big sacrifices FOR OTHERS.
    Fixing our kids issues FOR THEM.
    Helping my wife FOR HER.
    Teaching my kids awesome skills FOR THEM.
    Even staying married FOR THE CHILDREN!
    It's no way to live and only leads to blame and resentment.
    Either you are doing it for you, or you are doing it for YOU. There's no use denying it 😉

  • Surfing Lesson #240: Limitless Surfing
    The waves are small and I feel like I dominate this game.
    And yet I'm nowhere near having arrived.
    No matter how small the waves or simple the surf, I am only scratching the surface in my surfing potential.
    I used to shoot myself in the foot believing that I have the greatest relationships with my wife and children.
    I used to consume everyone's flattery and lay my head to rest satisfied and proud
    Unaware that I had hardly even tasted love and connection in my life yet.
    It's so easy to drift into a fantasyland created from a mix of the work I've already put into my relationships married together with the innate laziness and ego inside of me that wants
    To just sit back on my hands and enjoy life.
    And I've let that pattern rob me of passion and desire with my wife and children for far too long.
    Once I could humble myself and put aside my ego...
    My relationships turned upside down in the most beautiful way!

  • Surfing Lesson #239: My Cali Girl
    Wow. The day after I have a conversation with Cali, my oldest daughter about learning how to surf with me again
    I get a "memory" post on Facebook from 4 years back when Cali was in love with surfing.
    Being on and off couch-ridden disabled for over 2 years kept me from helping Cali become super competent at surfing.
    And now, 4 years later, I'm ready to get her back on the board, and she doesn't want to.
    After seeing this "memory" post of back when she was a badass in the ocean, I saw how entitled I feel to having my oldest daughter being a surfer and having a hunger for the ocean.
    But the entitlement doesn't work. In fact, it distracts me from the reality I face today.
    Entitlement robs me of my power to cultivate the desire I want in my relationships and create the connection my family longs for.

  • Surfing Lesson #238: STOP 🛑 FORCING IT!
    No one likes to be forced into decisions based upon YOUR logic.
    Not your wife.
    Not your kids.
    Not your friends as a colleagues.
    Not your clients.
    NOT EVEN YOU! 😳😉
    Even if they agree and make the decision that YOU want for them
    They will resent you.
    They will feel bullied and small.
    But there's a better way.
    In the ocean, we let the energy of the waves do the work.
    Trying to force myself into a wave only gets me catapulted or left behind.
    In life and relationships, we can let the emotions do the work for us, clean and resentment-free!

  • Surfing Lesson #237: Falling Off the Nose!
    Commitment is the most magical and glorious power of a human being.
    Nothing demands more attention and moves the hearts of others than commitment.
    Nothing inspires the hearts of men like commitment.
    And nothing reaps fruit like commitment.
    Amidst the world of infinite reasons to NOT commit to...
    A wife that seems impossible,
    Children that seem entitled,
    Health when we can just dope up and sedate,
    God when he can seem to even be against us,
    And business when there are so many more "sane" and less stressful routes,
    Commitment changes the game and INSPIRES others to follow your lead.
    If you want to move the hearts of men AND create the results you're after, it's time up UP THE ANTE! 💪🏼

  • Surfing Lesson #236: Invaluable Stretching
    Surfing Lesson #236: Invaluable Stretching
    I used to not believe much in "preventative" measures. 🙄🤮
    I mean, I felt like we wasted half our days in the military taking these boring, useless preventative measures.
    But I get it. I mean, lives are at stake.
    But preventative measures in my body and health?
    Nope!
    Until I took on disabilities. And more disabilities.
    After a while, stretching, calisthenics, and eating healthy was a NO BRAINER!
    How about PREMARITAL COUNSELING?
    Pshhhhh....
    Luci and I tried that. We quitted after a couple sessions because we thought it was useless and stupid. I mean, we absolutely love each other!
    What more do we need for us to "work"?
    Well, 4 kids in, life, deployment, disability, businesses, moving across the country, and even IN-LAWS,
    Preventative measures have become a NO BRAINER here as well! 😅
