I just wanted to take a minute to say something I don’t think gets said enough.

To all of you — the men, the fathers, the mothers, the ones doing what needs done — I see you.

We don’t always talk about what it costs to keep our worlds turning. We don’t brag about the weight we carry, the nights we go without sleep, the jobs we grind through because people depend on us. Most of the time we just square our shoulders, put our heads down, and keep moving. That’s what we do.

But I want to take a moment to say I respect the hell out of every one of you for it.
For showing up when it’s hard.
For keeping your families fed, your kids smiling, your promises kept — even when nobody thanks you for it.
For the silent battles you fight that nobody else ever sees.


Some days the world feels like it’s held together by nothing but our sweat, our time, and sheer stubborn will. But you’re still here. You’re still doing it. And whether you realize it or not — THAT MATTERS!


You deserve the praise you don’t get. You deserve respect for simply holding it together when everything around you’s trying to fall apart. I’m proud of every one of you for shouldering the load, for being the foundation your families stand on, for being the kind of men/women who just handle it.


Keep walking the hard road. Keep showing up.
Even if the world doesn’t say it — I’m damn proud of you.

@majin, I'm really glad to know someone cares in this world and sees people's work as something that's worth being proud of. Sometimes I think what I do is not as important as what others do, but then again I am reminded that what I do keeps my world and my family together. I've always felt like an outsider, kinda just who I am, and RC hasn't helped it at all, but at the end of the day its doing what I love 🤷‍♂️. I love that thrill when I push my slash to full throttle with the 3s, I know that not a single person within my whole neighborhood gets that. I'm different, but you're reminding me it's okay to be different, it's okay to follow a different path. Everyone here on RCT has been so supportive and positive to my life, even outside of RC.

I don't have kids, but do have a wife. I try really hard to never bring work home with me, or the aggravation that sometimes comes with it. That's not her battle to fight, it's mine. And, as my brother in law has always said; "I can make more money, but I can't make more time." So value what time you have with those that you value. That's more important than money will ever be.
