Substack
Every couple of weeks I write down what I’m actually thinking about. Leadership. Connection. Some of it is personal. Some of it is practical.
If something here resonates, subscribe. I read every reply.
- The long view
Rob stayed for sixteen years. Here's what he says he was actually thinking.
- STILL making my bed.
On what happens when a person built for motion is made to be still
- The love that waits
On what I had to become before I could receive what was always right for me.
- Front Row
On the people who stay through the versions of you that aren't easy to watch.
- Watching your life through glass
On the particular loneliness of being present in all the ways that are supposed to count.
- Dad's Day
On the difference between a name on a birth certificate and a choice made every day.
- I'm not letting you off the hook
On the things we need most, and how close we come to talking ourselves out of them.
- The change nobody wants to make
Most cultural change initiatives fail before they start, and not for the reasons people think.
- The best thing you can do with what you have
On a glass bottom boat in Anguilla, I watched a dream come true. I'm still sitting with what it means.
- The pause no one wants to take
Most leaders fill the silence before it has a chance to work.
- Tending the Fire
Last month I watched my friend Rich build a campfire in the rain for nearly an hour.
