The Real You is What We Want!

No need to expound on this important idea.

All we have to do is be the person we say we are

What does “No Surprises” mean? Really.

Great article on how to run a startup….with or without a board. Although this article is heavily slanted towards a startup structure, the lessons seem to be applicable to many other situations too.

No Surprises!

Non-Summits can steal your work’s soul…

Hemingway Did Not Non-Summit

Book that I recently enjoyed.

Science Fiction has always had a bit of a stigma for me. I am not sure the origins of the stigma, but it has never been a genre that has interested me.

All Of Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai 

Quote that reminds me to make sure I am building the right habits:

“People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.”

– F.M. Alexander

*Here is a very short TED talk about habits that is worth a look (less than 4 min)

Have a great weekend!
