FROM THE TRENCHES

One of the guys dropped this in our #fatherhood channel this week on Slack and it hit hard.

“Life doesn’t define who you are, you do! Such an inspiring father and son.

Meet Cash, a young boy born with Spina Bifida. His dad, Chase, is teaching him something far greater than how to walk, move, or adapt. He’s teaching him how to live and overcome.

From their journey, three lessons stand out for all of us in leadership, business, and life:

1️⃣ A label or diagnosis is not your destiny. Labels and limitations don’t define you — your actions do.

2️⃣ Independence is learned, not given. The earlier we build resilience and problem-solving, the stronger we stand when challenges hit. Let your team fail and learn.

3️⃣ Choice is power. Life will try to tell you who you are, but it’s your response that writes the story.

And most importantly: You are not what you’ve been through. You are what you choose to become.”
