I have a recurring dream nightmare.

I'm suddenly thrown into a high school football game.

Except, in my dream, I'm not 18.

It's me. Present day.

I'm 45. My knees hurt if I sleep the wrong way.

In the dream, the whistle blows, and I'm trying not to get flattened by teenagers 😂 .

Well, last night, my wife and I watched it happen IRL.

The Indianapolis Colts, after a rough year with injuries, had to call in a backup QB.

Enter Phillip Rivers.

Great quarterback. Remarkable career. Retired in 2020.

He's 44.

And there he was, trying to move the ball downfield while being chased by 24-year-old linebackers.

At one point, my wife looked at me and said, "Hey, Cody...he's living your nightmare!"

Well, I got to thinking about it...

And my dream is only scary because, in it, I'm unprepared.

I'm not ready for the game.

Luckily, business isn't like that.

You don't get air-dropped into 2026 without any time to get ready.

You get to think, train, and plan.

You get to set the pace.

You can even choose what field you're playing on.

So this week, as things slow down and you catch your breath...

Ask yourself:

What would I love to be ready for in 2026?

You've got time.

You're right on schedule.

You got this,

~ Cody
