I’m a POSER.
> I’m not a doctor.
> I’m not a clinician.
> I’m not a veteran or a first responder.
> I’m not really an expert in much of anything.
But I’m here.
I’m available. Interruptible. Willing to listen. And willing to help however I can.
Years ago, a CEO friend told me something I’ve never forgotten:
He’d rather have someone with limited ability and total availability than someone with incredible ability who is too self-absorbed to be available to others.
The older I get, the more I think he was right.
I’m thankful REBOOT has never been built around me having some heroic story.
It isn’t about my journey from brokenness to wholeness.
It isn’t about how well I speak, how I look in a photo, or whether I have the right letters behind my name.
I’m just me.
A dude who believes nobody should have to suffer alone.
A dude with more questions than answers.
And a lot of the time, I can’t fix what someone is facing.
But I can show up.
I can listen.
I can pray.
I can stay in the fight with them.
Veteran or not.
First responder or not.
Clinician or not.
TRUTH: We’ve overestimated expertise and underestimated availability.
Because sometimes the person who helps most isn’t the person with all the answers.
It’s the person who actually shows up.
Not everyone is called to fight.
But everyone is called to serve.
Here’s to Healing. 👊
