I’ve been fortunate to give 5 commencement speeches Each one was a chance to reflect on the advice, stories, and lessons that mattered most to me — usually learned the hard way. It’s a challenging time to graduate. But the world needs you Hope you’ll take a read (and the story behind this card)

I can’t stop thinking about what is happening in Minneapolis & the rest of the country. No one should be killed. It doesn’t matter if you are a protestor or law enforcement. No parent or child should ever have to go through the pain that we’ve seen. Personally, I’m hurting seeing what is happening.
