Bait and switch?

New balance Running shoes — The product numbers don’t match,

Bait and switch?

Another pair of New Balance 1080SB5’s arrived yesterday – a Sunday. Opened the correctly labeled box to confirm accuracy. Inside, however, was a pair of women’s running shoes.

Started to smell hassle factor. What to do?

Clicked the delivery notice email link and in about two minutes, had everything needed to:

Have the replacement shoes arrive in just two days.
Have the return package re-sealed and sitting on the porch for UPS pickup today.

No return sticker was required. Plus, the existing packaging had a subtle yet convenient pre-made sealer for returns. An email containing a one-sheeter with tracking number to go inside the package.

Totally impressed.

It was a nice wow.

Turning one impossible into a new impossible

Disney's Tomorrowland movie sneak peak at Epcot — Yesterday we got a sneak peek.

What was once thought to be an impossibility – writing consistently and publishing a book – has become something unimaginable.

It has become such a critical daily habit.

The thought of quitting this habit is the new impossible.

Why is there no soul in perfection?

Mary Poppins at Epcot's United Kingdom — Practically Perfect in every way? (photo from last night)

There is no soul in perfection.

The world is set on fire with grit, courage, art.

Are we too imperfect to be moved by perfection?

Rising from our ashes is our art.

Be that kind of ~~artist~~ leader.

WWJBD

Jimmy Buffett concert at Amway Center. Last night.

Leadership 101:

WWJBD

What would Jimmy Buffett do?

To soften the in-your-face-directive old-school leaders declare under pressure, a new, but now worn out catch-phrase emerges, “At the end of the day”.

At the end of the day, “It’s five o’clock somewhere“.

If you watch the video and don’t already know what’s coming, it happens at the 2:14 point.

PS. It’s simply a fun moment.
