Despite having come up in stage theater and being entirely comfortable performing as either a cast member or keynote, recording myself feels unnatural. So I’m following the advice I give to others & pushing beyond the perfection trap to just get on with it. Let’s link arms & lead together…

What your watching unfold here is learning through raw teaching. I’m working w/ some creative folks to build out an online presence to develop leaders that is more robust than my current ad hoc effort. Take advantage of the tips & don’t hesitate to offer your own — I’m wide open to critique!

Hell, the President swears a similar Oath. Here’s what I had to say about that on Constitution Day. (Would share a cell with Sen. Kelly in a heartbeat.)

I developed these nine principles of Communication-Based Leadership while serving in the field as a Marine Corps Public Affairs Officer, because hyper-connectivity at the speed of Send was just emerging & it was obvious to me the doctrinal “principles of information” at the time were insufficient.

Not all US military members are good. War is bad. This is not an endorsement of US foreign policy or the war in Iraq. It is a specific example of the standards to which the US mil is trained & ICE is clearly not. It is a caution. Link arms, lift up, lean on, support, carry, & shield each other.

I anticipate we’re willing to put our lives on the line — & the same side that line — for similar reasons… Lili is our granddaughter.

Over the course of years in leadership positions and as a scholar of leadership, here are four timeless truths to help guide you — whatever your personal leadership philosophy & style may be. Hit me with questions or critique as you prefer. I’m open to a good conversation!

Be willing to engage in civil discourse to strengthen links with those around you. We the People will get through this by uniting in shared values and lifting each other up.

I'm a fan of the Roadhouse Rule: Be nice, until it's time to not be nice.

Correct. Enlistment is a contract. Commission is an appointment by Congress “at the pleasure of the President” (Alas…) Under the law, officers serve to provide “best military advice” to the President & Congress. Here is the Oath of Commission I reaffirmed as a retiree on Nat’l Constitution Day.

Victor Wembanyama on the Spurs not trading for a star and keeping their young core together: “I wasn’t speculating about anything or getting any player. I know Brian (Wright) knows who we are and trusts the process. He should get Executive of the Year also for not making a move.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, mentors, and mother figures in my life. 💐 Today is a beautiful reminder of the love, strength, sacrifice, wisdom, and grace that mothers bring into the world every single day. Thank you for the love and the friendship! 🫂

If you do TicToc, this man makes some awesome hats and it's satisfying watching him do it. I love hats and it's have a million of them if I could afford these and I don't do cowboy at all! They are just beautiful.

When it gets too hot to play sports, you know something is seriously wrong. This is climate change.

You don’t build a new world all at once. You build it in the small, honest choices. The walk you take when your body asks for air. The pause you honor instead of pushing through. The way you listen - to yourself, to the earth, to… #NewEarth #InnerAlignment #LiveInTruth #EmbodiedLiving #SolarSage

Meanwhile, there's actual video. But maybe video is antisemitic too.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Every war goal set by Trump — ballistic missiles, proxy networks, Iranian oil seizure, choosing the next Ayatollah — has been walked back, one by one.

De cara, uma lista incrível de animadores-chave. Shuuhei Fuchimoto, Odashi, Ken Yamamoto, Takeshi Maenami, Iori Hisatake, Shinya Takahashi. Nomes consagrados e/ou que seriam alavancados por Umamusume.

As gruelling as the animating graft is, I can't imagine skipping this process, even if Amazon threw a few million at me to sell out and churn out some AI slop instead. Fuck gen AI, and those that enable it.
