Walt saw the future so vividly that after he died his team knew where Walt wanted to go.
Dear CEO, your biggest blindspot….
In thinking more about it, totally confounded why you can’t (won’t?) answer the singularly most important question, “What is your vision?”
Could it be the wrong question for you?
No, not in a million years.

The first, and most important, of the 19 architectural blueprints is Vision.

What we like or dislike in others is a reflection of what others like or dislike about us.
Racism, to me, feels like an extension of a larger issue, discrimination. i am not smart enough to speak expertly, only as a novice. A novice with 60+ years of observation experience.
Discrimination, in my opinion and from my six decades of experience, is rooted in strongly held stereotypes.
Ironically, stereotypes are nondiscriminatory.
There are many “categories” ripe for creating stereotypes.
Age, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual preference, height, weight, hair color, hair style, hair length, the car (or truck) you drive (or public transportation you use), job experience, socio-economics, clothes, marriage status, kids or no kids, zip code, political affiliation, accents, glasses or no glasses, education level, hobbies, active or inactive lifestyle, and a litany of endless other categories.
The older you get, stereotypically, the more you’ve seen, learned, and experienced. You learn there are now things that matter that you didn’t think mattered before. You learn there are things that don’t matter that you once thought were written in stone (for example, marriage is between a man and woman).
Here’s to a future that’s not only better than now, but much better than now.
A future with no negative stereotypes, no racism, no hate. A future filled with positive stereotypes, unconditional acceptance, never-ending love.

Glacier National Park was formed by Glaciers. Two-hundred years ago Glacier had 150 Glaciers. Less than two dozen remain.
A smart person in our circle of trusted friends believes An Inconvenient Truth is a lie.
Copy and paste from yesterday’s email to him…
Watched An Inconvenient Truth this morning. Assuming you’ve seen it. Can’t tell if it’s the slickest sales presentation ever or perhaps the most compelling thread for transformation global change.
