Conditions change. Theses endure.

I believe it is best to judge a decision by whether the conviction beneath it still holds, rather than the noise, discomfort, or the emotional weather of a given day.

Better is better.

Life-to-date, I have yet to experience ‘balance’ or homeostasis. You are getting worse, smaller, bigger, or better. Better almost always leads to bigger. It is the only way to grow.

Via Negativa.

I approach life through a lens of probabilistic continuums. Success often comes through the removal of bad options. Life is a pool of possibilities: cut the non-options and the bad ones, until what remains carries the best odds of winning, and the biggest payoff if it does. 

Optionality beats activity.

I don’t like wasted effort. Prioritize structures over reactions, partnerships over transactions, doors over steps. Know your why.

Outcomes, not activities.

Delegate ownership and results, rather than tasks. Building a team is a game of persistent, patient urgency.

Leadership is servanthood.

I believe leadership is a posture of the heart, the mind and the soul, oriented toward the people you are called to serve.
