Thank You

Sharing the Love

This past weekend, I attended SOBCon here in Chicago. It was such a great event, especially for those with entrepreneurial inklings such as myself. Regardless of what reasons people attended, the crowd there was so passionate about what they do, you couldn’t help but be inspired.

One of the talks that really hit me was by leadership coach Steve Farber, who said that his mantra is that you should do what you love in the service of people who love what you do. He was talking to business leaders about the importance of loving their customers, but I think this could apply more broadly.

And then it hit me: that mantra could just as easily apply to this little blog experiment. This is something that I’ve loved doing over the past three years, and if it weren’t for you – reading, responding, commenting, sharing – I probably wouldn’t have kept doing it.

So I just wanted to say thanks.

I’m currently flying from Chicago to Los Angeles. It’s a long flight, and it will be accompanied by a long drive. But it’s giving me some much needed introspection time. I need it because I’m having to contemplate my whole life. I’m about to attend Camp Mighty, the awesome brainchild of Maggie Mason and crew. [...]

This past weekend I spent a few days down in New Orleans at Mom 2.0 Summit, a conglomerate of some of the smartest people (not just parents) I’ve yet to meet. I like to describe the entire experience as a series of attempts. Not sure what I mean? Let me walk you through it.
