Hey there, Cocksucker-
 
I had an interesting conversation with my son Aidan last week. He's a
junior in high school and of course the topic of college is something
we're all thinking about.
 
Aidan is an artist. He's wrestling with a decision of whether to go to
an art school, or to a liberal arts college with a strong arts
program. Honestly, I'm not sure which is the right decision for him.
But I do know that he should surround himself with people who will
challenge him to become better. He needs it more than he knows. Here's
why.
 
A Culture of Better
 
My children teach me a lot. And in the context of my conversation with
Aidan, I wanted to do more than give some fatherly advice. I wanted to
show him what he's already taught me and what his siblings have taught
me about what helps them be successful.
 
Aidan's sister Lucy is singer, dancer, and actor. She's been
performing since she was 7. She's 12 now.
 
Lucy currently plays the role of the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz.
She studies hard for her roles. She wants to get it right. After
rehearsal one night Lucy felt she still wasn't where she needed to be
with the part. So, she spent more time with her script. She FaceTimed
with any friends who would read lines with her, but that's not all.
 
Last Sunday was her day off. Her cast had completed their dress
rehearsal, but Lucy was still getting ready to go to the theater. When
I asked her why, she said, "When I watch the other cast perform, it
helps me get better."
 
She gave up her only day at home to be around people who would make
her better.
 
Aidan's brother Clay is a freshman in high school. He just finished
his swim season. His team won their fifth straight state championship.
Clay qualified for a three events, but he also saw first hand how the
work his faster teammates put in outside of regular practice, directly
impacted the team's success.
 
While he did achieve a number of personal bests, he wants to do better
and contribute more to the team. So, Clay now gets out of bed at 4:15
AM each day to get in a pool with those faster swimmers. He is already
putting in the work for next year. I promise you, this is not easy.
 
In both cases, Lucy and Clay have stepped into the challenge of being
around people who are better. They are becoming vulnerable in order to
improve.
 
Aidan has a similar story. He's in an art class that has challenged
him. He is surrounded by other incredibly talented artists who work
hard at their craft. And instead of shying away from their talent, he
is encouraged and it pushes him to do the same. I've seen him produce
more finished art than ever before and not all of it is because it's
required.
 
Each one of them has people who challenge them to become better and
each one is humbling themselves to learn and rising to that challenge.
 
Surround Yourself
 
This isn't just some parent brag. Sure I am proud of them, but mostly
I am impressed with how they push into the challenge of being around
people who are be better.
 
I shared these stories carefully with Aidan. I wanted to help him see
the value of what he and his siblings are already doing and how it is
working for them.
 
When people talk about connecting and networking, most of it is
related to "getting new business." And most of us know that we have to
serve, be helpful, and provide value in order to earn that business.
 
I'm just not sure we're doing enough to find people who can help us
get better at what we do. We're not leaning in, and making ourselves
vulnerable with others who challenge us. But in order to grow in our
own craft, we absolutely have to. And I'm grateful to my kids for
showing me what that looks like.
 
Have a great week.
 
-Rob
