Why do sports create such tight bonds? You get to see each other at your most vulnerable points. Fatigued, stressed, anxious, exhausted, overjoyed, and overwhelmed. We ditch the facade. Shared stress and vulnerability bring people together. We need more of that in life.

We often mistake being serious with being dedicated. That's often not the case. We are our most dedicated when we are having fun and experiencing joy We often create teams and cultures devoid of joy in the misplaced notion that seriousness means we are more committed. It doesn't

My Dr requested I get a blood test for food allergies. Schedule the test which makes me go through another doctor screening first to see if insurance will pay for it. New Dr asks if I have any food allergies. 😳 I ask: is there a blood test or something I can do to find out? Healthcares broken

Well put, Matt. I’ve come to the same conclusions. I noticed that I seemed to be “falling behind” by using tools that sped up my work. I wasn’t learning how to tell stories about the solutions I was working with. Like AI kept me at arms reach from what I was literally working on.

Is the Pope still infallible? If he is, and you’re a Catholic, it feels strange to be arguing with him. But maybe it’s just me.

What’s important here is that @justingarrison.com doesn’t end his post with punctuation. So I must be led to believe a second post is coming and continues the sentence with: “because we ran out of time. Part 2 of the meeting is tomorrow and will solely be focused on AI.”

Talent doesn't always express itself right away. Some people's talent is that they are a high responder to training/learning. They need to spend the time doing the work before they can fully express their gift. We tend to overvalue those who show great initial promise.
