Here's something most people learn way too late:
When you sprint down a path, you miss the things growing right next to you.
You're so locked on the finish line that you blow past the people, the lessons, and the opportunities that were sitting right there.
Have goals. Chase them. But don't run so hard you miss your own life.
And remember this one: what you put into people, you get back. Maybe not today. Maybe not this year. But it comes back.
Slow down enough to notice it.

New episode of Built in the Midwest is live! 🎙️
Johnny Rogers has packed about five careers into one life: Marine veteran. National Guard. Journeyman lineman. Head wrestling coach. Entrepreneur.
But what makes his story worth your time isn't the resume—it's how he thinks.
In this episode, he gets into:
🪖 Why he joined the Marines on a snap decision (the recruiter was literally driving behind him when he called)
🦺 What it's like to go from running things in the military to being a step-one apprentice at 28, standing next to guys with 40 years in
💸 Why he sold a business that could've made millions
If you've been thinking about what your future might hold, or you're a veteran trying to figure out your next move, this one's for you.
