I am Grateful for a dog who, unlike my husband and children, never complains about being photographed . It feels like I’m overdue to post a Trooper photo, so here are two.   I challenged myself to create a series of four videos with myself as host, and to talk about my own creative and personal development journey. I have made fun of people who do this for my entire life...until I started producing Spartan Up podcast and listening and learning from them. There is still a high proportion of blowhards and snake oil salesmen in the self help arena, and yet those reminders, hacks and lessons propel me forward. As Doug Comstock said - I'm not telling you anything new, I'm just reminding you. So here is video three of the series. In this video I talk about the two most helpful tactics / principles I have learned. Social media has a lot wrong, especially now as it heightens divisions and eats up days with “doom scrolling.” But I don’t know that I would have kept up with this without you guys holding me accountable. I’ve run something like 270 miles so far this year, and for the last 100 straight I haven’t missed a day. Running every day is good for my health, but it’s about more than that. It’s about keeping my word to myself, building productive habits as a baseline, trying my best to be a role model for my kids. The private messages I get ( “ did you run yet today?”, congratulations”, “have you thought about running farther”?) are such a powerful model of encouragement. Celebrating success while gently nudging for more. It’s about 7am. I’m getting ready to head out and run 5 miles, and just like every other day - I don’t feel like it. Surround yourself, even virtually, with people that make you better. It will cross over to every aspect of your life & career. |
This blog is a place I share some of the things I think about, the photos I take, and the videos I make. They are about life, family, work, content strategy, content creation and podcasting.
