Is everything going to be okay?

That depends.

If we mean, “Is everything going to be the way it was and the way I expected it to be?” then the answer is no. The answer to that question is always no, it always has been.

If we mean, “Is everything going to be the way it is going to be?” then the answer is yes. Of course. If we define whatever happens as okay, then everything will be.

Given that everything is going to be the way it’s going to be, we’re left with an actually useful and productive question instead: “What are you going to do about it?” - SETH GODIN #perspective #ageofideas #podcast

A little over a year ago I released a book called The Age of Ideas. The book's purpose is to guide, inspire, and share knowledge with people on their creative journey.
Today we are living through an unprecedented time defined by uncertainty. After much thought, I decided there would be no better time to release this story into the world as a podcast in the hope that it imparts inspiration, positivity, and a sense of how to define our path forward to as many people as possible.

Famous people pass often, but Kobe’s sudden pass

Famous people pass often, but Kobe’s sudden passing hit me real hard today. I am not sure if it’s because he is so close to my age or the deep admiration I have for his indomitable competitive spirit. Or maybe it was how much respect I had for his desire to work harder than everyone at everything all the time, while remaining an appreciator of family and culture. He gave us everything he had to give and yet he was still cut short. Kobe was an incredible talent and person. It was my observation that he wanted his competitors to know he was never going to stop and he was going to do anything to overcome the obstacle in front of him. It was a rare fire that burned inside him. He inspired me in so many ways. May his energy live on in all of us. My heart and prayers go out to his family. #kobebryant #goat

When I graduated college and commenced my professi

When I graduated college and commenced my professional journey I quickly realized there was a lot I did not know. While I lightly considered continuing my education, I was earning good money and was tired of traditional schooling. I wanted to get to work. So I began to round out my skill set and teach myself through reading, and the trial and error of experience. I rapidly consumed books, many times late into the night. My choices ranged from Public Relations for Dummies, to historical business chronicles like Barbarians at the Gate, to business philosophy books, including The Dip by my rabbi Seth Godin. None of these books, though, have had the ongoing impact of Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don’t, by Jim Collins. Not only did it have one of the most amazing titles in the history of books, Good to Great provided a reliable blueprint for what it took to go from average to awesome.

Good to Great is based on a research study in which Collins and his team identify “companies that generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times over fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by the companies considered the world’s greatest, such as Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.” Keep in mind this book was released in 2001. Once the companies were identified, Collins and his team studied the practices of each organization and extracted seven key competencies the companies shared. Over the last fifteen years I have continually returned to this book to check myself against those competencies, and ensure that I am doing my best to make decisions aligned with these findings. With this in mind, I felt compelled to share these competencies with you, as it seems this great business book no longer has the visibility it once had.
