Daily Deliberation: 27 April 2020
I hate when I do this. I do my best to surround myself with smart and interesting people and then I look for ways to enter the conversation instead of just going along with the ride.

Daily Deliberation: 24 April 2020
I see this all the time. People are not happy with the opportunities they are given or upset about something else that is “holding them back.” However, when I ask them where they are going, they don’t have a real direction. They just know they want to be successful. If we are not sure where…

I have told my children about the importance of learning since day one. There is nothing more important in life than to learn how to learn.

Jocko Willink and his views are so simple and yet no one does them. In his book Extreme Ownership he talks about owning the things in our control. If you mess up, own it and move forward. We all make mistakes, our team sees them and it does no good to hide from them. Admit…

Daily Deliberation: 11 April 2020
So many times in my life I sat around waiting to find the motivation to act. Most of the time, it never showed up for me. It was up to me to take the action to get moving. Once I did, my motivation appeared. Stop worrying about how you are going to accomplish everything before…
