I really enjoyed this video because of how much truth there is in it.
Feel free to ignore the title of the video and it’s general premise about seducing someone… instead, listen to some of the concepts around relationships and identity:
Only Human
Doing Your Best
Everyone wants to do their best.
We want to do our very best with our relationships and our jobs. We want to do the best with the roles and responsibilities that we’re given. We want to do the very best with our most precious resource, time.
But, that’s not always enough.
Long Commutes
I honestly don’t mind long commutes. And, if I’m to be honest, I’m not entirely sure if I ever really minded them.
I think in one season of my life I thought that I was supposed to not like them and so I manufactured a bit of resentment and even told folks that I didn’t like them but the truth is that I’ve never really had an issue with a super-long commute.
Creating More Context for Your Kids
One of the never-ending battles that parents have to face is making sure that their children fundamentally know that they are loved, unconditionally.
This necessarily requires that we build inroads and avenues for conversation and dialogue and that those onramps change as the child changes, grows, adapts, and matures.
The Luckier I Get…
Samuel Goldwyn once said:
The harder I work, the luckier I get.
I really like this quote because it represents a philosophy and worldview that I strongly encourage, especially with my own children.
Sharing to Medium Publications
Something that I’ve been doing for a little bit of time is sharing my content that I create to other Medium Publications.
I was, at first, a bit anxious when the first publication requested to use my content and I declined invitations for a long time before I finally said “Yes” to one.
More Wrong About More Things
Hah. I love this so much:

Okay, so, this isn’t what you may think it is. In fact, it’s probably the very last thing that you might expect to read after reviewing the title of this blog post.
But, it is what it is.

The Pub: A Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Community
My brother just recently launched (this morning) a new small (but growing) bitcoin and cryptocurrency community called The Bitcoin Pub.
If you’re into that sort of thing or if you want to learn more about this growing industry and technology and protocol… then “The Pub” might be a great place to get some friendly advice and counsel.

Truly Simple Systems
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to build fundamentally simple systems, especially as it relates to software products.
I think this is one of the best times for me to be thinking about them because I’ve got a startup and a team that’s building a massive and intelligent software solution for technology companies, especially for those at scale.
