You had me at ... a California burrito #letsgo #goaztecs – at Thermal, CA
I just did an interview with a student for an entrepreneurship class and we talked about moments when I knew I had to go ALL IN on Blenders. There were plenty. But this one always comes to mind. lol Back in 2012, I was teaching surf lessons to pay the bills while trying to get the brand off the ground. Money was tight and surf lessons weren't cutting it. So I got a second job at GNC. My career lasted 7 minutes. Showed up on Day 1 wearing slacks, a white button down and dress shoes. Thought I looked pretty fresh. GM takes one look at me. "Go home. Iron your shirt. Shine your shoes." Then tells me when I get back, I need to sell 2 vitamin packs. Apparently everyone had to do that on their first shift. Oh, and no phones on the floor. Gotta leave those in the back. Hands me my paperwork. I'm standing there stunned. Walked outside, called my biz partner and told him "I don't give a fuck what it takes. WE'RE MAKING BLENDERS WORK." Never walked back in. 2 weeks later, GNC mailed me a paycheck for $8.62. I bought myself a California burrito. Probably the most profound 7 minutes of my life. lol

Arizona head coach Brent Brennan bought 1,000 tickets for local nonprofits and charities and youth football organizations to attend the Iowa State game. After the game, Brennan walked into Dirtbag's and bought around 300 shots (a $2,000 tab) for Arizona fans and then walked out. Amazing stuff. Man of the people.

Underrated life advice: Most progress won't feel like progress. Some seasons are about planting seeds you won’t see grow for months or years. Trust in the quiet work. Take pride in it. The world belongs to those who keep showing up even when the rewards are uncertain.
