🔱 Poseidon, one of the twelve Olympian gods, was not only the god of the sea, rivers, and waters but also a symbol of strength, power, and unpredictability. With his trident, he could stir storms, cause earthquakes, and shatter rocks. Known for his temperamental nature, Poseidon could bring both destruction and calm—depending on his mood. For sailors, he was a protector when appeased, but a force to be reckoned with when angered. I took this photo at sunrise last year, I realize I was also navigating through entrepreneurial "rough seas," uncertain of the path ahead. The journey has been far from predictable, but today, I am thankful to have a team of warriors and mentors by my side—each one helping to build a company worthy of the Trident’s power and legacy. 2024 marked a pivotal moment in personal and professional growth. Our brand story is deep rooted in strength, resilience, and purpose, and we are poised for the global success that we’ve worked tirelessly toward. I am immensely grateful for the team that supports and guides us forward. Here’s to what’s next, as we continue to build and refine our future.

In Ranger School, military orienteering, and planning combat operations, the goal is always clear: gain and maintain the high ground. It’s about strategy and control. But in life, the terrain is different. Life is more like backpack hunting, thru-hiking, or peak bagging. To reach the next ridge, the next summit, or the next objective, you often have to give up elevation. Staying in your comfortable, elevated position isn’t an option—you’ve got to descend, reset, and start the climb all over again. Real growth happens in the valleys. Progress requires sacrifice, humility, and the willingness to leave behind what’s familiar. It’s about starting over, putting in the work, and climbing to greater heights, again and again. Here’s to 2025: new relationships, new hunts, new adventures—and the courage to go back to the bottom, start from zero, and reach the next summit. Let’s get after it.

Fear is not good or bad. It can be either. It can be used to push you forward, or grow. It can also be used to hold you back and stay stagnate. If you look at the definition of courage, or bravery, you will see the word 'fear.' You literally cannot be 'courageous' without being afraid. So fear is an opportunity to become a little more courageous or a little more brave. If courage or bravery are muscles, fear is the weight you lift to strengthen them! This photo was taken on Sep. 4th 2007. I was a lead climber on my SEAL Team and we had decided to climb El Capitan. It was crazy... For me, it was scarier than combat. I had only climbed rock 8x's (8 days) before that. The 9th time was a practice day building anchors and porta-ledges. The 10th time I stepped into my climbing harness we left the ground and started heading up this massive wall. Climbing was such a new concept to me and I didn't quite trust myself or my equipment yet. That trust was quickly built over the course of the next 3-days of climbing. In my military career, I had to learn thing quickly. I also had to confront my fears. This is an extreme example of both. That 3-day climb up El Cap taught me a LOT more about myself than it did about rock climbing. #Fear #Courage #Bravery #Learning #Team #Military #Climbing #ElCapitan
