The Best Way To Stand Tall

There are two ways to have the tallest building in town:

1) Put in real work, earn trust, collaborate, and build something worth standing tall

2 Tear down all the other buildings

Too many people choose the second option. The quick, destructive path.

Be the first kind.

The Highest ROI on 20 Seconds

I go into every event or networking meeting with one question: How can I be helpful?It removes the pressure to sell and replaces awkwardness with purpose.

I love connecting people who can help each other. There is rarely a direct benefit for me. But I have seen a single introduction change someone’s life. Knowing that makes me genuinely happy.

Introductions can be the highest-ROI use of twenty seconds.

Words Matter

Most of what you say today, this week, or this year will be forgotten. Some will be remembered by recipients for years to come.

Every contemplative throughout history has preached some version of being “impeccable with your word” (per the first of the Four Agreements).

Words carry weight. Choose them wisely.
