On a work trip to Australia earlier this year before the world shut down, I had a day to myself, one I’ll remember for a long time. I decided to rent a car and head to the Mornington Peninsula. I booked a hotel on the shore and pulled out my AllTrails app to find a great running trail to see kangaroos in the wild before leaving. Some of the reviews for the running route I selected in Greens Bush mentioned sightings, so I felt optimistic.
Simplify the Complex: How clarity of message will give you better cut-through
Over Thanksgiving, we had a small group of friends over from our “safe tribe.” That’s so 2020, isn’t it? “Safe tribe?” Anyway, we played a game to liven things up because it just didn’t feel like our normal holiday with the hustle and bustle, family coming in from all over, and a big feast.
What’s at Stake: Be Hard to Shake from the Mind

Leaning Into the Hard Stuff
I’ve written about momentum and focus in the past month, both using mountain biking as a metaphor. Sometimes when you’re riding, you come upon a technical section that looks scary.
