The longer I lead, the more true this becomes. Titles come and go, projects change, and organizations evolve, but the way you treat people stays with them.

Pause before you buy. Mindful consumption is rebellion.

By the fourth, I was ready to push.

Same goes for leadership and growth — confidence comes from reps, not waiting to feel ready.

Lesson: Do the laps. Get better. Then go faster.
