A story like this hits different when you have kids in Tomball ISD.

Coach Codutti is under investigation. That’s it. That’s where we are right now.

Not convicted. Not exonerated. Under investigation.
And yet the comments are already split between “burn him” and “she waited 6 years, that’s suspicious.” Both camps decided before a single fact was confirmed. That’s the problem.

The media has a job to do. Report the story. I get it. But we’ve never been worse at consuming it responsibly. We treat headlines like verdicts now.

Here’s something that gets thrown around constantly that I genuinely can’t stand: “Perception is reality.” No. It’s not. It never was. Perception is just the angle you’re standing at when you first see something. Reality is what’s actually there when you walk around it and look at the whole thing. Those are not the same, and pretending they are is lazy thinking dressed up as wisdom.

I don’t know if Nick Codutti is a villain or a victim of a bad accusation. Neither do you. Neither does anyone in those comments right now.

What I do know from experience in leadership, business, and situations closer to home than I’ll get into publicly is this: reacting without facts has real consequences. Financial. Professional. Personal. Reputational. For everyone touched by the situation, not just the person the headline is about.

So before you pick a side, ask yourself if you actually have enough information to stand there confidently. Because once you say it publicly, you own it. And the facts have a way of showing up late and making people look real foolish.

Wait for the facts. Then decide where you stand.

Everything happens for a reason… that’s something I firmly believe in.

After experiencing many moments in my life that felt like the wrong thing, or the worst position to be in, and seeing myself come out better on the other side - I have no choice but to believe it.

But this one is hard to understand… came to Vilchis to order my usual, the barbacoa plate. Met with a kind, but heartbreaking response: “I’m sorry, we have no barbacoa today.”

THE TRAGEDY.

Okay, okay… I know, dramatic. I suppose that this situation applies to the belief I stated above. Chorizo it is! The good part is, this is still top 3 taquerias in Tomball. (My opinion) Guess my usual “Day 1 Routine” for my fire shift is going to alter slightly today.

Throwback to an amazing experience in my life, which will one day be recognized by my first born son as an amazing one in his. (Especially if he joins the fire service one day)

We have an amazing organization in Texas, the Texas Fire Chiefs Association. I was blessed to be sent by my department to the Battalion Chief’s Academy. Camden wasn’t in school at the time, so I asked if he wanted to stay home with his Mom, or travel with me to a work conference. I warned him it might be boring and he might be stuck in a hotel room for several hours until class let out and we could go have fun, and have dinner together each night. It was an easy ‘yes’ for him.

Well, the 1:1 dinners were fun. The conversation on the drive, at dinner, and at night after a movie and/or TV show were definitely good times, and good connection. I absolutely enjoyed exploring the Branch Davidian compound/Mount Carmel Center with him in Waco (he is a history/politics buff) where to this day a few of the original Branch Davidians, run off by Koresh when he took over to form a cult that caused the death of some of their family and friends, give tours and tell their testimony of what occurred from their perspective. (Side note, today in 1993 the Waco Siege ended)

But, it wasn’t just about those good times together that made it special. TFCA was so gracious and kind (and inspired by seeing a 16 year old willing to attend a Battalion Chief’s Academy) enough to offer for my son to attend any class he wanted, that I approved of him being a part of. They also offered him the chance to eat meals with us free of charge (I offered to pay or buy him lunch) so that he could get the full experience. I was absolutely thrilled to learn some great material that no doubt has already made me a better leader, but it was amazing to watch my son shake hands and have adult discussions with some very powerful leaders in the fire industry, and have the chance to meet some folks leading the education and training of the next generation of fire service leaders. Should he join, they were able to impart some wisdom the the NEXT, next generation of the fire service within my son.

What a week that was.

When is the last time you sat down and ran a checklist on your business? What about you, your mental health?

Equipment readiness is so important in the fire service. Our whole crew is out here checking rope together for our scheduled rope inspection on our rescue trailer. But how often do we do this for ourselves?

Businesses need these systems checks. Your leaders should be checking how smooth systems run often, and you should be auditing those checks yourself to make sure not just that the job is done, but to see if you can make it more efficient.

And your mental health is even more important. Daily breaks should let you focus on your immediate emotions and feelings. Weekly and monthly you should be making sure you’re doing what you need to protect your clarity, motivation and overall happiness. If you don’t help yourself, you can’t properly help your employees, or clients. Something else we definitely know in the fire service.

So what systems or tools do you have in place to inventory and inspect your business, systems, tools, and mental health?

As if completing our annual Physical Agility Test at work on Saturday wasn't enough, my boy Dennick threw this workout at us Monday. (My OT day)

It may look like 'nothing', but I assure you... it wasn't fun. Great workout, though.
