RIDE

We have more than enough time. What we lack are clear goals, priorities and values to guide where we spend it.

In 2021, I left the workforce and walked right into the wilderness, taking my wife, my family and my career with me. Two and a half years later, I’ve learned a few things.

In a world of constant distraction, perhaps we’ve overlooked our greatest weapon against discontent: living the life you already have.

Everyone tells you to “fail fast” but no one tells you what to do the next day after failure becomes a reality. I wish someone had told me to look for the second seed.

Are you staying where you’re tolerated or building a place where you’re celebrated? Maybe it’s time to stop talking about diversity and start doing diversity.

Mental health is about facing problems, not fixing people. Learn how to measure, monitor and protect yours.

Life is not a race but we all have a finish line. What legacy will you leave behind and how do you make each day count?

We are all believers. Whatever we rely on most becomes our religion. Who is on your throne?

How do you initiate peace, forgiveness and reconciliation without setting yourself up for more hurt?

Weak leaders avoid confrontation. Strong leaders are so comfortable with healthy conflict they promote, protect and model it every day.

Fear is not a force to avoid but a feeling to manage.

Leadership development is a $370 billion global industry. So why do so many competent, motivated people become such weak leaders?

Workaholism is a choice, not a condition. Protecting a brand or business means protecting the energy, focus and clarity of the people who run it.

Culture is defined by the worst behaviors we tolerate, not the best behaviors we celebrate.
