We have been reminded this year that, where crisis is in play, the future becomes overwhelmingly filled with uncertainties. Leaders remain managing the change and challenge of safety, preserving business value, and surviving the near term. Most I talk to are looking out 6 months to a year. For those companies that have strategy departments…
The CDC recommended this week that we should wear cloth “face masks” any time when out in public. Its change in guidance is the last stage in the groundswell of a new social norm. A government agency changing its recommendation after society has quickly gone from a common understanding that wearing a mask does little…

I’m at Starbucks. 4 sets of hands touched the cup by the time the cappuccino was nestled in my hands. Not a lot of social distancing going on; for the fewer people that are here, are they irresponsible? Are the people not here panic stricken for no reason. Offices of different firms had the range…
22 days into my 54th year, and solidly into my mid 50’s, I’m mostly in good health and continue to learn entirely new things and struggle to apply what I know to mastery. Spending time where it matters most to me is increasingly critical as I realize that, even above average, I have a life…
I think if we would actually look at the expansion of America’s waistline with the increase in revenue from fitness wearables, we’d be inclined to argue that FitBits are making people fat. The New England Journal of medicine recently published an article that with a 95% probability, more than half of the population will be…
I reviewed my blood tests this morning that came from my recent application to re-up my life insurance. All green. My results came back “within healthy range” for such things as cholesterol, blood pressure, PSA level, Triglycerides, etc. All looking good right? So, I look at blood pressure and cholesterol trends over the past 30-50…
The Polar heart rate monitor was invented in about 1977 and was released to the retail market in the early 1980’s. Let’s call it 1984. Fast forward 35 years and I suffer from terrible FOMO from looking at all the super trendy wrist worn “fitness” trackers that have eradicated fine watches. However, wrist worn fitness…

That way of interacting is based on their beliefs, values, and judgments on what is the way they want and should interact with one another. In some cases, many where I have been involved,…
Two plots a past and a present bring together an young and old woman who are there for each other. I couldn’t help but think it would make a great movie in the Fried Green Tomatoes tradition or any other where the past and present are knitted together. Sure enough, it looks as though a…
