Our line.

We were winding down a leadership group get-together last week. Something Glenn shared I’ll call the ‘Don’t Get A Question From The Waitstaff’ Game.

This summer we’ve had four fires within a 10-mile radius of our house. They were close enough for K and me to think about our evac plan.

We were camping last week when something reminded K of a story from years ago. It was a good reminder that it’s important to have fun.

I’m a fan of Harvard Business Review. I also appreciate their slightly more hip take on that timeless classic they call Ascend.

We were on our way home last week when a Subaru with a rooftop tent passed us. I remember thinking, ‘I’ve never been jealous of rooftop tents.’

With my parents in town, some conversations with my mom circled around to leadership-y stuff. She’s a bit of a leadership geek, too.

This is going to be short because my parents are visiting from Missouri. I’ll start with some quick context for this very random story.

Naomi Osaka’s story stood out to me as a testament to her saying ‘enough.’ Simone Biles’ story caught my attention for a different reason.

Turns out this past Sunday was World Listening Day. Reading more about it, I found myself kind of fascinated.

I had the thought of writing a quick note to let K know what was in the growler, but also wanted to get out the door. I headed out.

Every once in a while, one of you writes me about these randomnesses. I thought it would be fun from time to time to share some of those thoughts with the rest of you.

Ben wanted to know how I prepared for a long-ish trip in the mountains. I had to think about that for a bit. My answer maybe wasn’t very helpful.
