A Time to Give Thanks

I hope you’ve filled your cup with happiness this Thanksgiving. And of course, stuffed your face with turkey. And washed it down with wine.

For me, Thanksgiving’s all about counting my blessings:

My wife, Anna.

My son, Lucca.

Our dog, Lady.

Our family (near and far).

Our vineyard (of course).

Our VP team.

My business partner, Mike.

My VP Business

Our VP students.

My Beachbody business.

My Vineyard business.

My partners and affiliates.

And the list goes on…

But let’s address the elephant in the room:

I know it may seem a bit strange to consider my business a blessing...

...but without it, I’m not so sure where I’d be:

15 years ago, I couldn't host Thanksgiving because I could barely afford TV dinners. I’ll spare you the details, but I’d just signed a multi-year lease on a fitness studio that put me in a hole.

Then when I started climbing my way back into the black, I encountered a new issue: Freedom. I was working around the clock and felt like if I stepped away — even for a holiday — I’d lose it all.

Obviously, I’ve come a long way since then. I didn’t think twice about taking time off this week nor footing the bill on a massive feast.

If you’re not already familiar with this feeling of freedom, stability, and security, I truly hope you experience it some day. And I’m confident this can help get you there. https://buff.ly/3mfrCA2

I won’t push the issue. Not today. Just feeling beyond grateful for all these blessings. I’m taking this moment to recognize where they came from — and pay it forward. https://buff.ly/3mfrCA2

Happy Thanksgiving!
