Hey, good morning, cadre. Tuesday Tuesday, uh, April. What do you wanna call it? 21st? I think April 21st. Um, I hope you're doing great T north. Nice to see you. My friend, hope you're doing swell down south. Um, T north from the south. Um, it's Tuesday. The sun is shining where I am. I hope it's shining where you are and if it's not guess what. Ain't no thing you still have. Uh, wonderful capacity to, uh, to impact people, even if you don't feel like it. Even if that tank is on empty. Um, the fact that you are here says you're doing good things for yourself and because you're doing good things for yourself, you're doing good things for those people.

Those passions and that purpose that you have in this world. Um, Oop, and it's chilly out on the lake. Um, nice to see you speak wonder. My name's JC, if we've never shared time and space together before. Thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you right now. Um, I'm in my Jeep. Um, I hope you're somewhere that you feel. Um, feel grounded and rooted. Um, it's a good day. It's a good day. So babe Ruth broke two records in the same week. Um, babe, Ruth was a, was a baseball player. Um, back in the, uh, in the early, mid 20th century.

Right. Uh, very well known has a. Has a, an aura, um, has a placement. Um, in history of being really good at doing the baseball. Um, that's all we know, babe Ruth for babe Ruth. Good at baseball. Here's the two records he broke in the same week. Number one at the time he hit the most home runs that had ever been hit by a baseball player. And number two, he struck out more times than any other baseball player. It struck out. In the same week, he broke the record for succeeding. And the broke the record for failing.

I love that story. Um, I love that story first because it's true. True stories are kind of my favorite thing. Um, and number two, I love that story cuz it reminds us of something that the world doesn't want us to know. And that is that failing. Um, is, uh, is a big ingredient in accomplishing the things we want to accomplish. That's not the headline for today, though. Um, because someone like babe Ruth. Is encouraged to fail. Because the whole world is saying, babe, Ruth, if you just keep swinging.

You're gonna keep hitting home runs. Who cares, what else happens throughout that process? But if you keep swinging. You're gonna hit more home runs. So if babe Ruth strikes out, what do people say to him? 'em keep going. Do it again. Cuz they know that if he keeps swinging. And he's gonna hit home runs. That's not the case for most of us. We are told that if we make the mistake. That we are going to be punished. That we are gonna be looked down upon. That we are gonna be reminded that we are. Indeed not enough.

This is why access agency and autonomy are so, so, so important. And those are the things we need to swing hard at to give to every single person near and far. Autonomy the ability to do things in the way that, that they want to do things. Agency, the feeling like they have the power to do it. And access. Giving them the things they need in order to feel like they can, and then to do things in the way that they want to do. If everybody in this world, knew that if they failed more often, that they would impact the world in the best of ways that only they can.

That's a cool world to live in. So my invitation to you today. Is to do that. Not only fail joyfully yourself. Cuz if you go, oh yeah, I feel joyfully all the time. That's great. I'm gonna do it and do it, do it, do it. It probably means that you're encouraged to do so. It probably means you're in a position where if you fail, you're not gonna get in trouble. More importantly, my invitation is for you to give the access, the agency, the autonomy, and the reminder, and the standing ovation for those people who look to you.

Those people who you provide them, their power and their privilege. And then watch what happens when they start feeling joyfully. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you are here. I know the things I know, and I care about you have a good one.
