DISCOMFORT LEVEL FOR NOISE, WATER, AND ELON MUSK

April 14, 2022 by

I set my discomfort level running a marathon in new insoles. It was my only marathon. Training rules say don’t run in new shoes, not insoles. By five miles my feet were on fire. I ran past it. I squeezed sponge water down my neck at an eight mile water station. It drained down my […]

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER MATTERS MORE TODAY

April 7, 2022 by

Practice speaking truth to power if you want to get good at it. Making the sort of change you want to see takes practice. I use ‘practice’ as a synonym for understanding why truth matters more today. Why? Because The Truth has taken a beating lately.
