Long before Ted Lasso

Sound plate with cookies that says just believe
The hit show Ted Lasso features a hand written sign “Believe“ over the coach’s office door. The hyperlinked video is three minutes long, but you can stop after two.

Belief is in the eye of the beholder.

Ain’t that right Ted (Lasso)?

We fight over ownership

Red pouch label Going The Extra Inch tool kit
The Keynote is a month away. Had a client call with the conference decision makers and organizers. They had seen the TED talk, “Why going the extra mile is a flawed concept, and what to do instead.“

What if we over-focused on fighting for what we agree on?

i didn’t invent exceeding expectations.

Yet as far as i know, my claim to fame is making “Go The Extra Inch” a household name.

At this point in my career it doesn’t matter where the phrase came from.

That is peace.

That is contentment.

Small talk, holiday version, spirit

Became a Dylan fan a few years ago. We listened to “Blood on the Tracks” album descending from Sperry Chalet. This was the first time i ever played music while hiking in Glacier. Ps. Played from iPhone speaker, tucked in my back pocket.

A complete unknown.

Reminds me of the Nativity.

Some Shepard boy is born. Literally no one knows about it.

Until later.

A complete unknown.

A nobody.

On a bed of straw.

Merry Day

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Make your strongest conviction a simple proposition.

Merry Day.

Christmas Day.

May Day.

Writing late May. Publishing Christmas Day.

The wiser you get, the less a calendar date means anything. If the calendar is the leading reminder to celebrate the birth of a Messiah, ask why.

We come to know the true meaning of Christmas when we learn to celebrate it every day.
