Help Serve a Hot Meal to Those in Need! Growing up, I spent many summers in Boone and Todd, NC, and seeing the devastation these communities are facing is heartbreaking. Families who have owned homes for generations are now struggling to find hope and support and this tragedy could leave lasting scars. If you have the time and ability to volunteer, even for just a day, your efforts can make a significant difference in the lives of these families. Support those in need during this challenging time. Join Operation BBQ Relief in making an impact! If you're interested, please reach out. Thank you!

It's a Mindset: Do You Think You've Arrived? Teachability isn't just about learning new things—it's an attitude. It’s a mindset that says, *“No matter how much I think I know, I can always learn more.”* This approach transforms challenges into opportunities. Sydney Harris said it best: *“A winner knows how much they still have to learn, even when others see them as an expert. A loser wants to be seen as an expert before they've realized how little they actually know.”* Failure isn’t just an option, it’s necessary. If you’re not failing, you’re probably not pushing hard enough. The more you fail, the more you learn, and the better you get. But here's the catch—you have to **learn** from it. Repeating the same mistakes is where growth stops. This applies in business, in leadership, and in life. If you’re always willing to learn, you’ll always keep growing. So ask yourself: **Have you arrived, or are you still hungry to learn?** #Leadership #GrowthMindset #ContinuousImprovement #FailForward #Teachability

I'm proud to support the incredible work that Operation BBQ Relief does. Although I can't join this deployment, I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to help. Operation BBQ is rolling into Florida with all their smokers and kitchen support units to aid those impacted by the recent storms and flooding. A huge thank you to all the wonderful volunteers and fantastic partners from Amazon Web Services and Hy-Vee Disaster Response. Be sure to follow them on social media for updates on barbecue distributions. If you know of areas in need of mass feeding, please reach out at Operations@obr.org. #OperationBBQRelief #DisasterResponseTeam #HurricaneHelene #WhyWeBBQ #FloridaStrong #HealingPowerOfBBQ

"Success doesn’t wait for those who just show up—it rewards those who show up prepared, with purpose, and the will to go the extra mile." BDJ 24' You surpass half the competition simply by putting in the hard work. You outpace another 40% by leading with honesty, integrity, and having a purpose that guides you. The remaining 10%? That's the real battle, where only the toughest and most determined thrive. To rise above, you need to be willing to work smarter, not just harder. Sometimes, this means showing up early or staying late. If you're already doing that, focus on refining your day with better planning and sharper focus. The path to success isn't easy, but every step you take gets you closer.

Here’s a wonderful opportunity to work with an amazing team at our Oakbrook Puttshack. Lauren has been doing some great things at this location.

Exciting news! I’m working on a new travel and tourism startup set to launch in early 2025. We're looking for an app/website developer and 1-2 partners or investors to join us in this venture. As many of you know, I've lived all across the U.S. and am thrilled to showcase some of the hidden gems in cities nationwide. Edit: Due to the overwhelming amount of DM’s over 300 and phone calls, please email me directly at my personal email brianjardin@hotmail.com and do not call or text me currently. This is a project I’m just getting started and it cannot interrupt my job commitments. I will review and contact those we are interested in speaking further with.
