three people playing a card game
July 4th. We have intentionally helped these three stay connected every summer. They met in 9th grade Latin class. This Summer will be the 6th consecutive year hiking Glacier.

Over focus on the same things you used to under focus on or ignore.

IDD.

Intention deficit disorder.

Being intentional is a superpower.

i often wonder if my dad, or some leader early in my Disney career, would’ve told me to be super-intentional when i was younger, (decades younger than i am now), how that might have changed the trajectory of where i am now.

Do icons matter?

Do icons matter?

Does a buffalo matter to The Blackfeet Nation?

Does a buffalo matter to you?

Does an American Flag matter to The Blackfeet Nation?

Does an American Flag matter to you?

Does Independence Day (today) matter to every American?

Why or why not?

How much vision matters?

How much is too much?

How much is too little.

How do we adapt to our differences of opinion?

My three prioritized work priorities

Three young men at a dinner table
The three caballeros. They met years ago in High School freshman Latin class. In a month they will make their fifth or sixth ‘family’ trip to Glacier together. Photo: Today at dinner time. The first time they’ve been together in six months. The whole Australia thing.

Some of the questions (about 20%) i asked my executive coaching client this morning.

  1. What are your top three priorities in Priority order?
  2. Mine are (1) have fun, (2) .think .differently, (3) lean into discomfort.
  3. Having fun is paramount to an enjoyable life. Life is too short not to. #truth
  4. .think .differently to avoiding insanity by expecting different results but doing the same thing i’ve always done.
  5. Leaning into discomfort is about taking action: a.k.a. the 72-hour challenge karma. No one builds a reputation or gets results with “what they’re gonna do someday, maybe, (probably not)”.

Waking up in your own bed, home

Upper left corner, 10:16am, 14 minutes from wheels up.

Everything you own that seems important to you is at your home.

Living away from that is a masterclass in stoic simplification.

i was probably between 55-60 years old when i first coined one on my favorite mantras…

Only pack what you can carry.

If it’s checked luggage, perhaps it’s too much.

Bonus: When i travel, my goal is one “kiddie-daypack”. If i need more stuff, i’ll take a second “kiddie-backpack”. The second one i wear across my chest. This process leaves me hands-free. Handsfree is an extraordinary way to travel.
