Don’t Follow People Covered in Sand: Victimhood vs Extreme Ownership

The speaker shares a midweek “growth note” inspired by a podcast idea: “don’t follow people that are covered in sand,” meaning people whose foundation is built on blaming others for their circumstances. While acknowledging that everyone experiences trauma and adversity in varying degrees, he argues that lasting strength comes from extreme ownership, responsibility, and accountability. He contrasts “losers” who use hardships as excuses for failure with “winners” who focus on what they achieved in spite of those challenges. He encourages listeners to be careful about which voices they allow into their heads, avoid aligning with victimhood, and instead follow people who have overcome similar adversity by choosing a “victor” mindset.
