Eggs, Heat, and Trust In The Flip

Throwback Thursday!

Sometimes leadership looks like strategy and spreadsheets. Sometimes it looks like eggs, heat, and a little trust in the flip.

This was a show of appreciation for a team that didn’t just meet expectations - they blew past them. Long days. Tough calls. No shortcuts. Just execution.

So instead of another meeting or a generic “thank you,” I fired up the stove and cooked omelets for the team. Why? Because appreciation doesn’t have to be complicated - it just has to be genuine. Could those two hours have been spent moving the business forward in a different way? Sure it could have. But these two hours boosted morale, showed appreciation, broke down barriers, and fed hungry bellies!

This photo of me mid-omelet flip isn’t about cooking skills. It’s about showing up for the people who show up every day. It’s about recognizing effort, momentum, and results while the win is still fresh.

Great teams deliver outcomes. Great leaders make sure those outcomes are celebrated.
