Speaking up for my father in the hospital now shapes how I work as an SLP.

Lack of representation showed me what care looks like when the system has no idea who you are and health care providers don't speak your language.

In 1997, Steve Jobs came back to Apple and canceled 70% of the product line.

The engineers whose projects just died?

Three feet off the ground with excitement.

“They finally understood where in the heck we were going.”

He spent 20 minutes explaining how he was going to bring Apple back:

On focus:

"We looked at the product road map going out for a few years and said a lot of this doesn't make sense."

"There's way too much stuff and not enough focus."

"We got rid of 70% of the stuff on the product road map."

"You're going to see the product line get much simpler. And you're going to see the product line get much better."

On inventory:

"We've got two to three months of inventory in our manufacturing pipeline. And about an equal amount in our distribution pipeline."

"So we're having to make guesses four, five, six months in advance about what the customer wants."

"We're not smart enough to do that. I don't think Einstein's smart enough to do that."

"So we're going to get really simple. Take inventory out of those pipelines. Let the customer tell us what they want. And respond to it super fast."

On marketing:

"To me, marketing is about values."

"This is a very complicated world. A very noisy world. We're not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is."

"So we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us."

On brand neglect:

"Apple is one of the half dozen best brands in the whole world. Right up there with Nike, Disney, Coke, Sony."

"But even a great brand needs investment and caring if it's going to retain its relevance and vitality."

"The Apple brand has clearly suffered from neglect in the last few years."

On what not to do:

"The way to bring it back is not to talk about speeds and feeds. Not to talk about megahertz. Not to talk about why we're better than Windows."

"The dairy industry tried for 20 years to convince you that milk was good for you. It's a lie. But they tried anyway."

"Sales were going like this." [Down]

"Then they tried 'Got Milk.' Sales went like this." [Up]

"Got Milk doesn't even talk about the product. It focuses on the absence of the product."

On Nike:

"The best example of all. One of the greatest jobs of marketing the universe has ever seen is Nike."

"Nike sells a commodity. They sell shoes. Yet when you think of Nike, you feel something different than a shoe company."

"In their ads, they don't ever talk about the product. They honor great athletes. That's who they are."

On Apple's identity:

"Our customers want to know: who is Apple? What do we stand for?"

"What we're about isn't making boxes for people to get their jobs done."

"Apple at its core is that we believe people with passion can change the world for the better."

"Those people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do."

On death:

"For 33 years, I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked: if today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm about to do today?"

"Whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life."

"Almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death."

"You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

On time:

"Your time is limited. So don't waste it living someone else's life."

"Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking."

"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become."

"Everything else is secondary."

"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."

Prince Harry:

I'm not here [in Kyiv] as a politician. I'm here as a soldier who understands service. As a humanitarian who has seen the human cost of conflict. And as a friend of Ukraine who believes the world must not grow used to this war or numb to its consequences.

Because what is happening here is not simply a war about territory. It is a war about values. About sovereignty. About whether the principles that underpin our shared democracy shall hold meaning.

In this podcast, @drSarahParry unpacks the difference between being “#trauma-aware”, “trauma-informed” & “trauma-responsive”, arguing that truly responsive care must be embedded across whole organisations & systems.

Advocacy win!

Thanks to advocacy by ASHA, the WSHA, and ASHA advocates, language was removed from Washington state's final budget that would have cut Medicaid coverage of speech therapy, OT, and PT in outpatient and school settings.
