By now everybody has heard about the hero dad who tragically passed away at the Trump rally on Saturday. When I first heard the news about Corey Comperatore, I went back and forth on whether I should post about him. On the one hand, I didn't want it to seem like I was being opportunistic. I didn't want it to look like I was trying to engagement-farm off of this man's sacrifice. But on the other hand, I know many people look to me to provide my take when fatherhood is presented so starkly in the public consciousness. For better or worse I feel some sort of obligation to speak on subjects like this, and I'm in a position to drive the conversation in a productive way. So here is my take. This man is a hero. We all hope we'd act the same way in that situation, but even more we pray we never have to. God bless his family. I can't pretend to know more about Corey than what's been said by his daughter and by the media. But I can say this... If I were him, there is one very specific outcome I'd hope for from this tragedy: That this sacrifice inspires a generation of men to take up the mantle of fatherhood with the pure, virtuous, and serious heart that Corey did. -Harrison |

Three years ago I was still figuring out this whole online business thing. I was basically clueless, as this post will evidence.

He asked me what I was working on and I told him. I was in the middle of writing a book. I still have the book draft today, tens of thousands of words, but I never published it. Why?...
I know a lot of guys on this list are running or interested in running coaching/consulting type offers So I wanted to share something I've seen industry-wide, that's fundamentally impacted how I operate There is SO MUCH FATIGUE with "online coaches" in the marketplace Prospects have been bombarded for years with crappy offers and outreach from people they don't know, trying to sell them some vague "coaching program"...and this has led to .... THE HIGHEST TRUST BARRIER EVER in this industry....
So many guys who get into a rut in their marriage have the wrong answer to this question: "How many lightbulbs are out in your house, right now?" One? Two? Three?? How long have they been out? And here are some follow-up questions: Why are they still out? What are you waiting for? Who ELSE is going to change them for you? If you can't tell by now, the question isn't really about lightbulbs. It's about the little things in our lives that we let slide...that we let go into disrepair. It's about...
