When you are thinking about ways you can focus your energy as we walk into this new era, think about what you can actually control.

You can control your empathy.
You can control your humanity.
You can control your faith.

Focus there. Everything else is a distraction.

Here here

I’ve traveled all over the world. Dozens of airports. Boston-Logan is the first time I’ve walked in to a men’s room to a cloud of smoke from smokers in stalls.

Keep it classy Boston!

F**k. Yea!

That’s it. That’s the post.

I’m not a resolutions type of guy, but there are a number of things I’m committing to for the new year.

The first one being to find more joy in life every single day.

Cannot wait for next week’s game with the Eagles and Giants. I’m a life long Giants fan, but I hope and pray that Barkley smashes the rushing record.

Then after the game I hope the coach and GM of the Giants are fired!

I spent the better part of my career trying to work myself into rooms I thought I belonged in.

Today I simply put my head down, do the work, and create the rooms others want to be in.

Getting the new westside UpStart Collective up and running

Already dreaming of next year’s Demolicious: Champion of Champions event!

What has two thumbs and decided to get both the Covid and flu shot a mere 48 hours before a big event?

This guy!

Ugh.

If you are in Portland and have not yet signed up to come see the Demolicious: Champion of Champions event, now is the time to save your seat!

I never thought anyone would be worse at calling football than Joe Buck.

Thank you Tom Brady for lowering the bar even more.

If you are struggling to come up with talking points to discuss over Thanksgiving during these polarizing times, here are some suggestions…

- Discuss the sad state of affairs at the NY Giants
- Debate whether the older Looney Tunes are better than the ones made in the 70’s
- Just eat and not talk!

Those that complain about what happens to them, do not understand how to make things happen FOR them. #justsayin

Just watched 15 pitches this evening to help judge a DoD program.

It’s clear we need to spend more time helping with storytelling. They were great, just very dry and academic.

Cool supply chain startups at the Plug and Play Summit. Was nice to see so many focused on efficiency and working to standardize ports.

Long time coming!

At the Plug and Play Summit in the SF Bay Area. Their AI game is on a whole different level than anywhere else on the planet.

Full stop.
