Read MoreDo Not Overshare Your Business in 2026
I have learned this the hard way.
Do not overshare your business in 2026.

Nick Saban, the greatest college football coach of all time and the undisputed GOAT of matter of fact leadership, ruthless standards, and shooting it straight, once told a simple story that says everything.

Yesterday I went to Chipotle in a shopping center where I live. I spotted fifteen shopping carts left by people’s cars. Scattered everywhere. Blocking spaces. Sitting in the middle of lanes. Some left, no joke two feet from the return station. It was a perfect snapshot of how most people move through life. Convenience over character. Ease over effort. Comfort over standard.
