HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ONE AND ONLY @jimcressmaninvictus!
(This is a long post, and they say it’s better for Instagram views if you keep it short and sweet, but obviously I don’t give a shit, because all I wanna do is celebrate and honour one of the best men I’ve ever known.)
Interesting… yeah sure, Jim is my manager and agent, but I can safely tell you that these roles are the least important roles he plays in my life.
Jim has played the role of brother, best friend, uncle, buddy, even a father figure at times — always leading with heart and wisdom… and I can’t even begin to express how vital his words and his time have been to my growth as man.
Some people want it to happen — some people wish it to happen — but Jim Cressman makes it happen. He is the walking definition of someone who walks the walk, not just talks the talk. And daily, (yes daily), I am inspired by him and all that he brings to life’s table.
We’ve travelled together to so many different countries, and have truly crossed off more things on our country music bucket list than some could ever dream of. From unforgettable dinners with the who’s who, to touring with Garth, to tens of thousands of fans in the crowd, to one on one time in a -150 degree cryo chamber — we’ve certainly done a lot of amazing shit together — and yet, somehow, I feel like we are going to do even more…
I love and respect this man so much, and feel that my family is better because he’s in our lives — leading by example in so many ways.
Sure, Jim turns 50 today — but given his incredible commitment to health and bio hacking, I’m positive this is just the closing of the chapter on the first 1/3rd of his life. Knowing Jim, he’ll live to be 150, and then celebrate by doing 150 chin ups as the world’s first and only human to live to 150, and also do some epic workout shit.
His family is blessed to have him. And his clients are lucky to have him.
I’m one of the luckiest knowing he’s not just my agent and manager — but more importantly one of my best friends.
Happy Birthday Jim. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you….
Love ya….
BK
