Here is today's book highlight: The idea of duty is a simple one. We all have a job to do in life. Whether that job is serving customers in a restaurant, taking care of our family, teaching our children, policing our cities, caring for the ill and infirm, protecting our gate, following the military Code of Conduct, or leading the country, we must do our job to the best of our ability. We must do our job well, not because it serves our interests, but because it serves the interests of others. We do not live in this world alone. Duty is a recognition that you have a responsibility to your fellow man and woman. It is an unselfish act, whether great or small, that contributes to the welfare of humanity. That is what makes it so very powerful. If you want to be a hero, it’s easy. Just do your duty! The Hero Code: Lessons Learned from Lives Well Lived by Admiral William H. McRaven

Assume Good Intent: Lt Gen (r) Thomas Bergeson I worked for (then) Col “Guns” Bergeson when he was the Wing Commander of the 3rd Wing in Alaska. Under his leadership, the Wing flourished, ultimately winning the Commander in Chief’s Installation Excellence Award. After Wing Command, Bergeson went on to several successful assignments, retired as a 3-star general, and continues to crush it as an executive today. The reason for his success can be boiled down to one thing: Trust. Guns starts from a position of trust. I’ve frequently heard him say: “Assume good intent.” People are usually trying to do the right thing. They usually aren’t trying to waste your time or cause you harm. When they fail or fall short, it’s because of lack of information, resources, or capability. According to Stephen Covey, in “The Speed of Trust,” intent is key to character, and character is key to trust. Assuming good intent allows you to establish trust with subordinates, superiors, partners, and customers more quickly, and when trust goes up, cost comes down. You’ve probably experienced examples of high and low trust in your professional and personal lives. I’ll share two examples (one negative, one positive) from my experience: I once worked in a low-trust organization. I don’t think anyone had ill-intent, but it was clearly not a healthy environment. One officer was convinced everyone was out to get them. They did not assume good intent. I suspect they had low self-trust, and if you don’t trust yourself, you can’t trust others. Recognizing this, I should have worked harder to intentionally build trust in the organization, but I was too caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. We wasted our time guarding what we said, we communicated poorly, we argued about petty things, we moved slowly. We suffered because we were paying the low-trust tax. In contrast, in another epoch, I was part of a team that flourished because of the high-trust dividend. We had been working hard to build a security relationship with an important regional partner. We were making strides, but we didn’t have authorities for information sharing. One day we had indications that a third party was launching an attack against this partner. Technically, we weren’t allowed to share the information. But our officer on duty knew the Commander’s intent so he made the notification. He saved the day. He trusted himself to make the right call and he trusted his leadership to have his back. Trust was up and so was speed and effectiveness. Trust is everything. Trust makes or breaks relationships and organizations. And the best part is, trust is free – if you’re willing to put in the work. Smart leaders demand trust. Organizations that have high trust move fast and retain talent. Organizations that have low trust move slow and shed talent. If you want a healthy, productive, fast organization, start with trust and eliminate anything that gets in the way of it.

Co-Founder Veterans For Financial Freedom (VFF) |EMBA Candidate UCLA Anderson | Real Estate Investor | Licensed Realtor | Entrepreneur | Empowering Military Veterans in Real Estate
As we move further into the holiday season and closer to the end of the year, I find myself taking stock of what the year has been thus far and what the coming year holds. Some of the questions I have been readdressing is: What does it mean to live a "Life well lived." What does it take to live that life, what resources and people do I need around me to live it, and what am I doing daily to make that life a reality? These questions are, in some degree, specific to the individual but we all ask them of ourselves at different points in time. One of the lessons I have been reminded of this year is the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. Who we surround ourselves with shapes our mindset day to day and in turn shapes the decisions and disciplines that we adhere to or do not adhere to. The communities of people that we choose to be a part of are critical vessels that determine where we end up. I count myself lucky to be consistently pushed to new growth by those around me. What lessons have you learned or re-learned this year?

Imagine the life of a 26-year Army veteran. The courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to serve our country is beyond admirable. But life, as we know it, is a complex journey. In the last two years, this veteran faced not one, but multiple life-altering challenges. Military transition, divorce, and the struggle to start a new business after unexpected layoffs from the first job, all within the span of a short time. The weight of these challenges could have easily crushed the spirit of anyone, but this veteran chose a different path. They chose resilience. They chose to rise above the circumstances and redefine their life. And most importantly, they chose gratitude. Gratitude is not just about saying "thank you" for the good things in life. It's about finding blessings even in the midst of adversity. It's about acknowledging that, even in the darkest of times, there are sparks of light waiting to be discovered. This veteran found those sparks in the form of like-minded individuals who offered empathy and understanding. They found a support system that believed in their dreams, even when the path seemed uncertain. These like-minded folks, who shared a vision of resilience and growth, became their pillars of strength. So, let us remember that it's not just about the abundance of good times, but the strength we gather from the trials and tribulations we face. Let us be thankful for the support of like-minded individuals who lift us up when we need it most. Remember that gratitude is a choice. It's a choice to see the silver linings, the lessons in adversity, and the strength that comes from embracing change.
