💪 Two Weeks #PostDonation & Feeling #StrongerThanEver Two weeks ago today, on June 24th, I underwent kidney donation surgery for my daughter Sofia. Just two days later, I walked out of the hospital on my own—no wheelchair, no fear. ⚖️ I lost 27 pounds in preparation. 🏃♂️ Since leaving the hospital, I’ve been walking 3 miles a day. 🧠 My recovery has been fast, and I credit that to preparation, mindset, and faith. This journey has taught me something I’ll carry for the rest of my life— #Preparation is everything. Whether it's surgery, a client presentation, or a tough life challenge—when you prepare deeply, confidence follows. Confidence paired with strength lets you perform at your peak. I put myself in a position to be lucky. Yes, fear and worry are normal—but left unchecked, they only slow you down. Look fear in the eyes. Face it with preparation. Convert it to #power and #strength. 💪 👧🏽 My daughter Sofia has endured more than most teens ever should. She’s battled #FSGS since 2020... faced strict diets, lost social connections, spent most of her adolescence with catheters for dialysis or apheresis... and did it all with grace. Despite all that, she dreams of culinary school and running a food business. She's strong. She's loving. She's an incredible big sister to my 10-year old Kalia. And now—thanks to this transplant—her energy is returning. Her labs look great. Her story has many happy chapters ahead and her life is re-igniting in this moment. We will be prepared for whatever is next. #Gratitude 🙏 I’m so thankful to my family, friends, and work community for the endless support and prayers. Thank you to UC San Diego Health and Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego for making this miracle possible. Also, thank you for community organizations like The National Living Donor Assistance Center (NLDAC), The Meredith Haga Foundation, NephCure, The Painted Turtle, and The Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation who have all supported us one way or another during our journey. 🧑🏽⚕️ To The Partner Masters — thank you for the encouragement, flexibility, and beautiful flowers. 💐 You all gave me the strength to focus on what mattered most. Living with one kidney hasn’t made me weaker—it’s made me stronger. This experience has brought clarity, better prioritization, and a renewed commitment to my health and purpose. 📽️Here is a short video from my hospital release moment—it’s a moment I will always cherish filled with love and a message of hope to my Sofia. #MicrosoftPartners #PartnerEcosystem #Leadership #MentalToughness #LivingDonor #KidneyDonation #Preparation #Resilience #Gratitude #FSGS #Fatherhood #ThePartnerMasters
