Bad news, as the cliche goes, travels fast. We know this. We are wired to remember the negative more readily than the positive. Fact. This week, I reminded more than one leader to spread more good news. Their system has a ton of good going on. They have much less bad news. Yet, the rumor … Continue reading News…

The Bible is my favorite book. My favorite chapter (at the moment) is Matthew 13. This one chapter has more parables of Jesus then any other chapter in The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). It’s loaded with freakin’ magic. The sower. The tares (weeds). The mustard seed. The leaven. The hidden treasure. The pearl of … Continue reading Matthew 13…

It’s now home to more massive cranes than are in Columbus. Data centers dominate what was pure farm land. The last time we took this … Continue reading 57…

Was talking with Miss this past week about BTL. We're blessed with so many great clients. Lockton's been with us since 2002. Watched them grow from less than 100mm and 600 associates to nearly 5billion and 14,000 associates. What a great team. Blessed to build beside them. OSU sports was a happy accident we never … Continue reading My best work…
