  • Your daily anchor matters. It could be a cup of coffee with your wife, your morning routine, or a few minutes of quiet." DJ Shipley

  • “Understanding yourself is the ultimate cheat code—not just for happiness, but for helping everyone around you." Chris Bumstead

  • "Your daily anchor matters. It could be a cup of coffee with your wife, your morning routine, or a few minutes of quiet." DJ Shipley

  • I’ll be three-quarters of the way through a conversation with my daughter, and I’ll stop and think—my father never had a conversation like this with me. Not once. He never sat me down and asked how I was. And I just want her to be in such a better place than I ever was. I tell her, 'I don’t know how to do this, I’m learning day by day, and I need you to talk to me.' And we’ll just talk. And I walk away thinking, ‘Damn, I wish I had a version of me in 1985 who truly gave a shit.’ Because I truly care now. And that’s what makes me proud.” DJ Shipley

  • “I used to live on a switch—either fully on or fully off. That’s how we’re trained. But life doesn’t work like that, especially not when you’re trying to be a husband, a dad, a business owner. So now, I live with dials. I turn up work when I need to, and I dial it back when I walk through that front door. Because when I’m with my kids, they don’t need the operator—they need dad. They need me to be fully present. That’s a different kind of discipline.” Cole Fackler

  • “When you’re taking 64 pills a day, three or four times a day, you’re not abusing drugs—you’re surviving. But you're also under the influence of something 24/7, 365. Even if it's just a baby aspirin, it's changing how you think, how you feel. There’s a whole year of my life I don’t remember. I wasn’t living. I was existing under a chemical fog. When they finally washed me out, I was sober for the first time in a year—and that was when the real pain started. That’s when I realized: I had to rebuild from the ground up.” DJ Shipley

  • “You think you’re going to Mexico to deal with combat trauma—but what comes up isn’t war. It’s your childhood. It’s the time your dad screamed at you at five years old. And suddenly, you’re back there. You feel the weight of the shirt you were wearing. You remember the floor under your feet. Then it flips—and now you’re the one yelling, at your own kid. That’s when it hits you: this didn’t start overseas. This started in your living room, 30 years ago.” DJ Shipley
