Summary
In this April 2026 “Inside My Mind” episode, I share what I’m building, learning, loving, and honestly trying to loosen my grip on. I break down the future of BPN, including our carbonated energy drink, creatine chews, consumer research, retail strategy, and how we’re thinking long game. I also reflect on lessons from Lonesome Dove, The Culture Code, the GBRS team, and pacing my dad at the Pittsburgh Marathon.
This episode is about building with patience, leading with service, watching others win, and remembering that routines should serve the mission and not become the master.

| 0:16.0 | I did one in March and the feedback was great. |

| 0:34.8 | what I'm learning, what I'm loving, what I'm not loving, and just a |
| 0:41.4 | wrap above what has been on my mind in the last month. There was a lot this past month. |
| 0:47.8 | I mean, we just entered May, 2006. This year is literally flying by. We put a lot on the calendar on the schedule. |
