In this episode, we're diving into something that's transformed how I view not just the holidays, but more of how I think every single day—the power of presence and the blessing of "Everyone In The Picture!" This isn't just about family photos—it's about our gratitude, and recognizing that the greatest gift we receive each year isn't wrapped in paper, it's seeing the same faces we love still here with us.

Remember when the holidays were all about the parties, the gifts, the celebrations? I'm sharing how my answer to "How was your Christmas? or How was your New Years?" evolved over several days of conversations into something far more profound: "Everyone that was in the picture last year is in the picture this year." Through surgeries, struggles, pain, and life's daily uncertainties, everyone made it. Fam, that's what I'm celebrating.

In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to stop TRYING and start BEING the best version of yourself. Today marks the first Motivational Monday of 2026, and we're not playing around, family. This isn't just about making New Year's resolutions—this is about US, our daily commitment to excellence, and how the small things we do create the big results we desire.

Remember how we said 2026 was going to be different? Well, it starts right here, right now. I'm sharing why eliminating the word "try" from your vocabulary changes everything, how my dad serves as my accountability partner who won't let me settle for mediocre, and why doing small things with excellence—like prepping your lunch the night before or showing up to work on time—builds the foundation for extraordinary success.

🚨New Season Alert🚨: Season 5 of Cousin Ed's Corner is officially HERE, and we're starting 2026 with a powerful message about sacrifice, service, and God's complete protection over our lives! This isn't just another motivational talk—this is a MOVEMENT, fam. This episode was inspired by the monks walking across America spreading peace and unity, and it got me thinking: What am I REALLY willing to sacrifice for the greater good? What are WE willing to give?

I'm getting real vulnerable in this one, talking about how I stepped back from coaching and mentoring during COVID and now feeling that strong pull to get back to serving my community. With two kids graduating this year, I know it's time to pour back into the next generation. But here's the thing—this message isn't just for me, it's for ALL of us. When's the last time you volunteered your time? Read to a kid? Visited an elderly home? Paid it forward? This episode is a challenge to myself AND to you to do MORE in 2026.

Let's keep building, fam. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and let's make 2026 the year we all sacrifice more, serve harder, and live with INTENTION! 💪🏾
