In a recent podcast interview, I spoke with Michael Harvey about his journey to Chief Strategy Officer at Corra.  The full conversation is worth a listen, but it was his story about traveling the world for four years with his wife and two children on a 40ft. sailboat that has had me rethinking what it…

How quick are you to give someone the benefit of the doubt?  To give them grace even before they’ve earned it? In a recent podcast episode, I interviewed Justin Fox, an Army veteran and 20-year operations leader, about the transition from military life to civilian leadership.  One of the challenges Justin faced – as do…

Stay Young, My Friends. Recently between speaking engagements, I found myself with way too many hours to kill at the airport before my flight.

Hi everyone! Happy October! If you read the post from last month, you’ll know my wife and I celebrated 9 years of marriage in September. I still don’t know what I did in a previous life to deserve her, but I’m extremely thankful to previous-life Matt for what he did. I like that guy, a…
