Hey Brother,

Tuesday night Dad Ledger Live brought a brother who truly lives with intention — Mike Dickerson. Married 29 years, father of two, full-time program manager, Constellation node runner, and founder of Reflections Coffee. Mike shared his story of chasing the right inputs in faith, family, fitness, and finance so he can be present for generations to come.

We kicked off with market talk — XRP rebounding to $1.40–1.45 range, Goldman Sachs’ Q4 2025 holdings (153M XRP among others), and Clarity Act progress. Then Mike opened up about redirecting his life a decade ago when stress and family health scares woke him up. His framework? Love God with everything and love your neighbor as yourself — applied daily.

The health conversation hit hard. Mike tracks HRV, trains grip strength and VO2 max, does farmer carries, and refuses escalators. Goal: live to 100 strong, by God’s grace, so he’s available for his wife, kids, and future grandkids.

Mike’s crypto path started with Trent’s patient mentorship, survived a painful scam right before his DAG node went live (turned into a masterclass in forgiveness), and now focuses on utility assets with diamond hands.

And Reflections Coffee? Started as a home roaster gift for his daughter’s 16th birthday, grew into a legit business shipping nationwide — with prospects at his son’s college and local church cafe. Beautiful picture of small beginnings.

Actionable Steps for You, Brother:

Track one key health input this week — get a wearable and monitor HRV or start daily grip work (farmer carries with heavy dumbbells/kettlebells).
Pick one utility asset you believe in and set a recurring buy + limit orders for dips.
Start (or grow) a small side hustle that aligns with your passions — even weekend roasting, consulting, or content can compound.
Have the forgiveness conversation with God about anything holding you back — unforgiveness blocks multiplication.
Block one hour this weekend for deep prayer and planning: ask God for clarity on your next 12 months in career, family, health, wealth.
Share one win and one lesson from the past month with another dad — iron sharpens iron.

Faith Tie-In Mike reminded us that scripture should always lead us to the Person of Jesus. The inputs we choose today either draw us closer to Him or pull us away. When we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, everything else — marriage, parenting, bags, business — falls into proper order.

Brother, your family needs you strong and present for decades, not just years. Start chasing the right inputs today.
