There is a difference between being lost and realizing you are lost. by @teachbrian

Dear Peyton,

There’s a moment when you realize your energy is your most valuable resource.

The question isn’t if you have enough, it’s where you’re spending it.

You can use it to rewind old conversations, old heartbreaks, old versions of yourself , or you can spend that same energy moving forward.

The shift happens when you stop asking, “why did that happen?” and start asking “who do I want to become because of it?”

That’s the pivot from replay to intention. Your past can explain you, but it doesn’t get to direct where you spend your energy.

Love,
Dad

Why is whey protein getting so expensive?

This week, we sit down with Brian Teach, Head of Product Development at 1st Phorm, to pull back the curtain on what actually goes into creating and formulating supplements for one of the biggest brands in the industry.

Brian has been with 1st Phorm for over 15 years, and we dive into how product development has evolved during that time, what goes into sourcing high-quality ingredients, why the cost of whey protein continues to rise, and what separates a great formula from everything else on the shelf.

From the early days of 1st Phorm to the products they’re developing today, Brian gives us a behind-the-scenes look at a side of the supplement industry most consumers never get to see. taken in 1st Phorm HQ by @teachbrian

High School tryouts start Monday! This little lady isn’t afraid of the work and she has to deal me being 🫣not great. This was just warm up. I’m a little better at the drills. 🤏 by @teachbrian

Some days, the battle isn’t with the world around me.

It’s with the younger version of myself.

I’m grateful I have learned when he’s trying to take over.

There are days his voice is louder than others. He still thinks the world is what he learned early on. Gratitude feels mikes away. Those thoughts, those feelings, they had a job once.

Awareness doesn’t erase them. It just helps me notice. And in that moment, I get a choice. Keep reacting from old patterns, or respond as the man I’m working to be.

Vulnerability isn’t weakness.

It’s just asking, where’s this really coming from?

That’s where the healing starts. For me, that’s what opening the curtain means. Being willing to look honestly at the stuff that no longer serves me, so I can choose a different way of thinking, feeling, and acting.

The goal isn’t to erase that younger version of me. It’s to thank him for getting me here, and gently remind him he doesn’t have to lead anymore.

19th to 1st! What a weekend at Watkins Glen International!

Qualifies were cut short. The team took what they got and ran with it. Ryan predicted the win as we stood on the grid in the back pre-race. He knew what the team had in it! Sahlen’s Six Hour of The Glen didn’t disappoint.

Thank you @ryanhardwck @itsjustinprice @morgan_findlay and the team at @1stphorm and @manthey_racing

You’ve made millions of good decisions to become who you are today.

Your life wasn’t built on your worst mistakes.

So why are you living like it was?

Learn the lessons.
Make the necessary changes.
Apologize where you need to.
Forgive yourself.
Move forward.

You cannot show up for your children, your spouse or anyone who needs you, while you’re stuck replaying the past.

Reflection builds you.
Rumination breaks you.

I’m still learning the difference. But choosing reflection, even imperfectly, is the only way I’ve found to keep moving.

Dear Peyton,
It’s important to know what you don’t want to become. That awareness can protect you.
But don’t stop there.
If you only define yourself by what you’re avoiding, you’ll spend your life running.
Running from failure.
Running from disappointment.
Running from average.
Running from dependency.
Running creates speed. It doesn’t create peace.
Ask yourself a better question: “Who do I want to be?”
Define it.
Write it.
Build toward it intentionally.
Because if you don’t define it, you’ll default to reacting.
Strength isn’t just escaping what you don’t want. It’s building what you do.
Love,
Dad

Consistency and realignment to your goals is king.

It’s wild how easy it is to drift a little off track… and then convince yourself everything is fine.

Next thing you know, you’re not where you planned to be.

Good news is it works both ways.
Small adjustments back in the right direction stack up fast.

No crazy changes here. Just tightening things up since January 1.

• Walking at least 45 minutes a day
• Lifting every day, lighter, higher reps, no ego stuff
• Moving more, trying not to get hurt
• Adding in stretching or yoga when I stop making excuses
• Cutting alcohol. I still love a good lager, but the NAs have come a long way. )Busch and Stella N/A are my favorites)
• Paying attention to recovery. Some days you push, some days you just move

Honestly, compared to how I used to train, I told one my old training partners they would probably be embarrassed to train with me! Ha The movement, the consistent is more important to me and I can’t afford another injury or set back, it’s to valuable for my mental and physical healty.

Feel better,
Moving better,
Staying consistent.

That’s the game.

No drastic overhaul.
Just small adjustments done over and over again.

That’s what adds up. by @teachbrian

Dear Peyton,

I learned early in life that good wasn’t good enough.

If I got a 95,
the question was why it wasn’t a 100.

If I played well,
the focus was on the mistake.

So I decided I’d focus on great.

Outwork everyone.
Outperform expectations.
Remove doubt.

And that built discipline.

But here’s what I didn’t understand at the time:

Greatness without peace is pressure.

It built rumination.

When your identity is tied to perfection,
you never arrive.

You just chase.

Chasing achievement can make you successful.
But chasing approval will exhaust you.

I want you to strive.
I want you to compete.
I want you to become everything you’re capable of becoming.

But I never want you to believe
that your value is attached to a number.

You are enough before the grade.
You are enough before the win.
You are enough before the result.

Strive for excellence.
But don’t sacrifice your peace to earn love.

I’m still learning that lesson.

Love,
Dad
