In this episode of The ALeeT Podcast, we continue our journey through the Tenets of SPUG (Strength, Power, Unity, Growth) with one of the most misunderstood values: Pride.

Pride isn’t arrogance—it’s identity, integrity, community, and fire for our goals. Lee breaks down Pride across five dimensions:

· Identity – Owning your truth and rejecting what doesn’t align with it.

· Actions – Holding the line on your standards when no one’s watching.

· Emotions – Learning from both praise and disappointment without letting either control you.

· Community & Heritage – Standing with pride for your people, culture, and collective roots.

· Goals – Turning words into vows, anchored by self-respect and resilience.

This episode dives deep into personal stories, raw truths, and reflections on how Pride shapes the way we live, love, and lead. It’s about knowing not only who you are, but also who you are not.

Welcome back to The ALeeT Podcast! This week, we're tackling a topic that hits every area of life: Accountability vs. Blame. Everyone loves to point fingers, but true accountability means owning your actions, emotions, and responsibilities, without passing the buck.

In this episode, we cover:

• Accountability & Goals: Why SMART goals aren't enough if you don't adapt (hello, P.R.I.M.E.R. method).
• Life Roles: From parenting to pet ownership to paying bills. What accountability looks like in everyday life.
• Your Actions: Why owning mistakes builds trust, and how blame just wastes time.
• Your Emotions: Emotional intelligence = owning your reactions, not matching someone else's chaos.
• Military Lessons: How core values and debriefs drilled accountability into me, and how it applies to everyone.
• Football Analogy: Football is back, baby! Why life is like carrying the ball, and why nobody else can hold it for you.

Key Takeaway:

Accountability isn't punishment--it's ownership. And ownership is freedom.

Call-to-Action:

This week, jump on Instagram @The_ALeeT_Podcast and drop a comment:

• A time you should have held yourself accountable but didn't.
• A time you did hold yourself accountable.
• A time you held someone else accountable.

Because staying Spuggin' ALeeT means owning the ball and not fumbling your strength, power, unity, or growth (SPUG).

After a 1-week hiatus, Mr. ALeeT is back — and he’s spittin’ SPUG & settin’ goals! 💥 In this episode, we break down the power of SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) and show how they align perfectly with the SPUG framework: Strength, Power, Unity, and Growth.

You’ll hear:

• Why vague goals lead to vague results 🚫
• How to structure SMART goals that actually stick
• The connection between SMART goals and living salubriously (aka in a way that uplifts and sustains you)
• Real-world examples you can use today to crush your personal + professional milestones

Mr. ALeeT reminds us that setting goals isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress, persistence, and purpose.

So grab your notebook, jot down your SPUG-fueled SMART goals, and let’s level up together. 🚀
