The next time you wake up at 3AM convinced of impending doom, I want you to ask yourself a question.What if I’m wrong? It’s fascinating to me how many smart people I know (and work with) who will ask this question non-stop about every strategy and tactic they deploy.They say, “I think I should go left…but what if I’m wrong?”They say, “I think the market is shifting and we need to adapt now…but what if I’m wrong?”They say, “I t...

When my daughter texted Nicole and I to say she had gotten a 98% on her final presentation, we were ecstatic.But before we could respond we were met with a flurry of follow up texts squarely focused on the remaining 2%.Which was ridiculous, but also incredibly familiar.Leaders of all stripes fall into a similar trap. We forget to celebrate the 98% and find ourselves fixated on the 2%.It’s not that looking for opportunities to impro...

If you find a leader who thinks they can maximize their potential without correction and encouragement from others, run.And if YOU are that leader, it’s time to stop holding yourself back.Because your blind spots are, by definition, things you will never be able to see on your own.No amount of self awareness will ever reveal your blind spots, because they are intrinsically unseeable without an external revelation.What self awarenes...

A friend recently sent me some songs and asked me to play drums on them. Along the way he sent a few reference tracks, finished songs from popular artists that could illustrate the mood he wanted me to capture.I listened to one of them and then told him: I can’t do that.I offered alternative approaches I could effectively execute, but it was incredibly liberating to just acknowledge that the thing he wanted was not a thing I c...
