Journal Entry: Life is such an adventure, and it always will be one. One thing I have come to realize that it will always be a team sport, and you will be on many different teams. I am on team Stephens, with my Dad and Mom, my brothers and sisters, and all our relatives. I am on team Secure Pacific, with all the other employees of Secure Pacific. I am on team Axiom, where I work out on a regular basis. I am on team Uber, where I drive people around and get driven around depending on my need. We will all be on different teams throughout life, and it is a decision which teams you are involved in and which you are not. At the exact same time, life will always be a single player game. No matter how close you are with your teammates, you will always have your own thoughts, your own ideas, your own connections, and your own teams. These two concepts are not in competition with each other, but instead are part of each other. No-one will ever know who you know, experience your experiences, have your thoughts. It is impossible for life NOT to be a single player game. Thats why I want to encourage you to know the game you are playing, and the teams you are on. Know where you are trying to go, and how you want to get there, and do it with the people you want to do it with. You will only win as a team, but the game can only be played alone. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and if I can serve you in any way, please let me know! Justin PS - I have a weekly update that I will include on my dreams below, this is something I have been doing personally for more than 2 years now, and it is my guiding light for how I make decisions and decide what I want to be doing and chasing.

This week, I’ve been reflecting on something pretty incredible: the power of writing a book. There’s something almost magical about taking the ideas swirling around in your head, pinning them down on paper, and turning them into something tangible you can share with the world. It’s not just about the end result—it’s about the process, the clarity it brings, and the chance to inspire others with your strategy. Why does this matter? Because we all have unique experiences and insights that...
I hope you’re doing great! Did you catch the epic USA vs. Canada hockey game in the 4 Nations Face-Off final this past Thursday, February 20th? If not, let me paint the picture for you: two nations, one ice rink, and a whole lot of passion. The game went into overtime, with Canada’s Connor McDavid sealing a 3-2 victory for the Maple Leaf. But beyond the score, what really stood out was how both the USA and Canada rallied behind their teams. Fans from across the border—whether in Boston’s TD...
The Upfront contract is a tactic that I learned from Sandler Training, and it is one of the best tactics to keep schedules on point. It is a little contract that you set at the beginning of any meeting or outing, it could even be used for going over to family! It consists of 4 parts: Time: How much time do we need to accomplish the goal of this meeting? Their Agenda: What would you like to get out of this meeting we are having together? Your Agenda: What do you want to get out of this meeting...
