One plus one equals three

Seeking the lost art of growing old with intention. Sounds interesting. As CEO of You, Inc., everything you do or don’t do is your responsibility. 
Hike number two yesterday. 
Swiftcurrent firetower. Jody talking with Matthew, a Glacier Boat Company employee at Many Glacier.  
On the way up to the fire tower. Looking North. 
Looking up (and East). 
Looking southeast. 

Jody and i planned to record an “If Disney Ran Your Life” podcast episode at the fire tower. 

The wind and cold (and conversation) cancelled that plan. 

We descended for safety as we were beginning the early stages of being dangerously cold. 

A key talking point on the hike is our observation of a potentially epidemic avoidance of personal responsibility. 

As sunset faded to dusk and dusk was fading to darkness, we completed my first Glacier National Park If Disney Ran Your Life podcast episode. 

It was a cool experience and i am glad to be back recording after a two-month break.

You won’t believe me

Mt. Oberlin in center. So under-rated. 

Jody told me last night that if all we did was yesterday’s hike and we hiked back out this morning, “It’d be worth it.”

Guessing that his experience after 3 more nights here at Granite will border on un-believable. 

You know what they say when things sound too good to be true? 

“They probably are.”

There’s an exception to almost everything.

Dream big and remain amazed.

Do not underestimate what you do

Do not underestimate what you do.

Dear son, now is the time to try new things.

Go.

Soar.

PS. You know i only preach what i practice. When you change what you see, what you see changes. Lean into discomfort.

Super excited because it may not work

Bob Iger envisions Disney becoming the world’s most admired company. He announced this at least a decade ago, but not publicly. We are currently sitting at the #4 spot.

Super excited because it may not work.

What?

Can’t tell you yet.

Why?

Prevailing wisdom says when we announce things we sabotage ourselves because we feel a false sense of accomplishment simply from making an announcement.

This false sense of accomplishment reduces our hunger to act and succeed.

Additionally, research shows that people who privately work on something important make greater progress and finish stronger than the “announcers”.

Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself. Beware of the status quo (announcing what you’re gonna do on social media, like the herd always does) and the ignorant belief that progress has been made simply from typing a bold and inspiring announcement.
