Winning through uncertainty isn't about having all the answers — it's about trusting your preparation when you don't. That's the mindset @samrgoodwin '12 left with our 2026-27 team, and it's one they'll lean into all season long! #uncommon

Flying is always a constant balance of confidence and humility. This is a quick trip to Cedar Key, a place that has become a favorite among general aviation pilots.

What Solitary Confinement Taught Sam Goodwin About Gratitude, Control, and Uncertainty Sam Goodwin believes that when we feel the most lost, we have the best chance for a huge breakthrough — and that was his experience. In a cell in solitary confinement, he learned three things that shaped everything after: gratitude, controlling what's actually within your control, and recognizing uncertainty as an opportunity rather than a threat. He feels called to pull those lessons out and share them with leaders in every walk of life, to help them face and manage their own prisons — whatever form of "trapped" they're living in. #samgoodwin #resilience #leadership #gratitude #mindset #adversity #personalgrowth #perseverance #overcomingadversity #lifelessons #inspiration #uncertainty #controlwhatyoucan #breakthrough #leadershipdevelopment #motivation #purpose #mentaltoughness #reflection #rightruddermarketing

Flying has become one of my favorite ways to stay curious. Last weekend's breakfast flight to Venice was another reminder of why I enjoy it.

During our recent trip to Damascus, our team met with the new Syrian government's Ministry of Information, where we discussed how to best tell Syria's story and reconnect Syria with the rest of the world after decades of Assad's isolation. We are excited to continue this work together. Syria is back to its people, and it's important that everyone around the world truly understands the beauty and love of Syria, not just the stain left by the Assad regime.

.@samrgoodwin , an American who has traveled to every country in the world, was arrested by the Assad regime in May 2019 and held for two months. This month, Sam and his pregnant wife returned to Syria for the first time. The new Syrian government granted Sam access to the very courthouse and holding cells where he was detained seven years ago. This is that story.

Flying is one of my favorite hobbies. This particular flight was a great opportunity to see the Tampa area from above. – at Tampa, FL

One of the questions I have been asked most over the past seven years is whether I would ever return to Damascus. This month, I finally did. It was a journey of gratitude, perspective, and choosing to keep moving forward. @GoodMenProject @syrianetf goodmenproject.com/everyday-…
