Thanks for this post, Grant. It is everything I wanted and needed today. My favorite quote: “You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That is, to me, the sign of a champion, the best in the world and not the best, because they win every point." I love your philosophy.

Hey Michael, really appreciate the comment. I’m focused on becoming a better writer.

Do you have any critical feedback that can help me improve for next time?

You asking me that question is like Michelangelo asking a junior artist for advice. You're brilliant, Grant. I'll tell you what my creative writing professor told me decades ago: "Just write. Write every day. Write what you love. Write what you hate. If you're unsure about the piece you wrote, then write it again. Just write." That's all I can say. Allow me to reiterate the obvious: you're brilliant. I love what you do.
