Those of us with control issues really have a hard time with this one but let’s be honest sometimes we waste time doing what someone else is equally, if not more qualified to do. I heard this line a while ago at a conference and it has just stuck with me. I think it was…
I have been doing a bit more reading lately and it’s been really good stuff, and one of the ways that I process information is by writing down what I read and applying it to real life. Recently I came across the idea that we are most easily tempted to do wrong in one of…
I’ve recently had the chance to dive back into a little continued learning with a group of colleagues and it’s been super refreshing. I’m not a school classroom kind of guy so the style of this learning is really effective for me. While I’d much rather the interactions be in person we all have to…
I’m currently cramming through a book to join a group that’s been together for a few months already and need to get caught up. And this dichotomy shows up in the first couple of chapters. It’s the dichotomy of invitation and challenge. Now that doesn’t mean a lot at face value but if you give…

Something comes out of no where and completely derails all of your plans. All of your momentum is halted. You come to what feels like a dead stop…
I heard recently on a podcast about this idea of trust circles, and I have to say I was beyond intrigued. In these weird days in which we’re living trust is a commodity in short supply. I’ve wondered why it seems good friends are acting like they’ve never met at best and like they’re enemies…
