This was the fourth question on my Summer 2020 Depth Check-Up survey. I began by asking people to choose their current frame of mind: optimistic and excited, uncertain and unsure, or anxious and fearful. Then I asked people to sum up their current experience in three words, followed by a question asking them what they [...]
"What are you the most excited or optimistic about today?" I asked this question as part of my Summer Depth Check Up… When I asked it, I was unsure what I would hear back from America. With responses coming in from all over the country, I knew that it would be a mixed bag. Here's [...]
COVID-19, George Floyd, the election cycle, virtual learning, social distancing, unemployment, unknowns, and uncertainty… When I introduced the 2020 Depth Check-Up and asked people to share how they're handling all of this, it was rooted in a deep curiosity about how we're coping with all of this. It was my way of asking the world, [...]
In the Summer 2020 Depth Check-Up, I asked you to describe how you're feeling right now in three words. Here's the unedited version of what you shared with me.

I found myself curious the other day, interested in finding out how we're all doing in the midst of one of the most unpredictable times ever. Working from home, a new school year, social distancing and isolation, racism in America, and the coming election – 2020 has challenged our limits. We've all been traveling a rocky path [...]
Say what you want about professional sports… some of you reading this believe that pro sports are a waste. To be completely transparent, when it comes to the NBA, NFL, NHL, and the MLB, I'm no addicted fanatic. Call me a fair-weather fan, or a bandwagon rider... I'm OK with either label. I can own [...]
My twins started driver's ed today. Like almost everything these days that resembles a meeting with a group of people, they're using Zoom. At fourteen, I just witnessed them both experience the terror of their first Zoom call. Their browsers didn't support Zoom, so they had to download the app… Click here... Almost downloaded... Here [...]
These words may ring true to you right now. "I don't want to be just a cog in the machine." I recall thinking that, and probably even said it out loud to my friends, when I left my corporate job to start my own business. I was done being just a cog. Recently, I realized [...]
My dad used to tell me, “Be careful what you ask for.” Apparently, he was a lot smarter than I ever gave him credit for. A few weeks ago, I started an interesting journey where I asked some people I trust these three questions: What is my greatest strength or skill? What is my greatest [...]
