Shorts and a t-shirt

Jody Maberry and jeff noel
Ali and Jody were my biggest supporters before, during, and after the TED Talk.

Shorts and a t-shirt worn to the all-speaker AV check and venue tour at 9:45AM. It’s wonderful to travel light and not have to worry about dressing for success.

Earning a reputation that trumps what you wear feels like freedom and “arrival”.

Son, don’t fret how long it takes. Fret how good you feel with what’s needed to build your personal brand.

How does 60 years feel?

honeymoon bicycle trip
Married 1983. Honeymoon bicycle trip 1984, ferry-hopping the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound. Cheryl is eating lunch from the back of the ferry. So lucky to have Cheryl on this journey. Insanely lucky.

Sixty feels great.

Not gonna lie.

i do not feel old.

Back to how many reputations do we have? We have one with every person who knows us. Same with them. Same with you.

My wife and son think i’m fit for 60, physically and spiritually. And also mentally, at work, and at home.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

International Graphic Designer on your team?

UPS tracking screen shot
The check arrives this morning from Canada (lower left corner). The engagement is later this month.

 

Met with my International Graphic Designer for lunch yesterday. It was great to catch up face-to-face. Imagine having someone with seven years of full-time International reach with their graphic design work, but they are unable to share their work with prospective clients because they were a contracted employee – for one of the world’s most admired companies.

i asked her how many of her clients pay her in advance.

“None, you’re the only one”, she said.

Insight: If i always expect to get paid in advance, why would i not do the same for the people i hire?

If you want blessings, give blessings freely.

It’s good (midlife) karma.
