We have implemented this year an even more intense "Everyone Has a Metric" framework. Easy to assign, more difficult to support.

I am interested to hear what everyone's accountability cadence looks like for your employees.

What is enough for you?

When is enough work done in a day? 

When is enough accomplished in a week? 

When is enough money made for yourself? 

Where is enough time devoted to others or to yourself?

Have to shout out and support my wife's new venture as a certified IPSP® sleep consultant. She can help you get your kids to sleep. It's incredible to see!

If you're interested in talking to her, she launched a website and is beginning to take clients:

Taking the next 30 days as a sabbath from social media. Only scheduled posts will go out.

I’m stepping back to focus on what matters most—family, faith, and creating with purpose.

Sometimes, to hear what’s essential, we have to embrace stillness. See you soon.

Big news, y'all: I just graduated from Harvard Business School’s prestigious Advanced PowerPoint Animation Strategies program.

It was a grueling 45 minutes on LinkedIn Learning, but we did it.

Cap and gown party next week.
🚨 NEWS FLASH

No one graduates from anywhere after getting a certificate. 

Do better, people. 🤦🏽‍♂️

P.S., I look forward to the day when people aren't so obsessed with celebrities.

I guess you could call me a sleep influencer now!

I swore by Bose Sleepbuds—until they were discontinued. the same team behind them went on to create an even BETTER product: Ozlo Sleepbuds.

These snore-blocking, sleep-enhancing headphones are an absolute game-changer. 💤
