Imagine an unexpected cabin trip involving a major injury and a fractured arm - not the ideal Labor Day scenario, right? Well, that’s exactly the tale I’ll be sharing with you, but fear not, it’s not all boo-boos and band-aids. This episode is a journey through my personal experiences and reflections on Labor Day, intertwined with the inspiring work ethic of my father and how his values have molded me. I dig into the history of this holiday, its connection to the labor class, and the importance of truly loving what you do.
Laced with family anecdotes and life lessons, we also touch on the essence of hard work and service, inspired by my father and brother's experiences with transforming failing teams. I share why leaving a job must be done with respect and integrity, and why a two-week notice isn't just a courtesy, but a mark of professionalism. As we honor our servicemen and women, we explore how challenges reveal our true selves, and why we should savor each moment. So, join me as we delve into the significance of knowing our limits, cultivating a heart of service, and embracing gratitude. Let's celebrate Labor Day together, honoring not just the workers, but also the spirit of dedication and service that makes our lives meaningful.
