When you burn people out, you push them out. Stars are the first to leave—they have the most opportunities.
The solution is not to pile on the perks. It’s to pinpoint the root causes of overload and design more manageable jobs.
If you want to keep people, stop exhausting them.
- Currently pulled over on the side of the road. Police man got me . Cop is stern and direct. Seems fair.
- All I can think of is how many times a police officer has to do this, and it’s a knucklehead. Or someone dangerous.
- every single time they pull someone over, their life is in danger. By the people in the car or the cars driving by. I’m appreciative of our law enforcement. That put their lives on the line to protect us daily.
- also, I did get the ticket. I didn’t get out of it. 😂😂😂
Solo Tour 2023. Just like the early days. I’ll be playing old songs. Newer songs. Songs you haven’t heard yet that I’ll be road testing - all on acoustic, electric, and piano. Hope to see you there…

Introverts don't dislike people. They spend plenty of time with others—and enjoy it as much as extraverts.
They just seek different kinds of interaction. Extraverts are energized in rooms full of strangers. Introverts prefer small groups of familiar faces.
#WorldIntrovertDay
We carry too much guilt about letting others down—and too little fear of letting ourselves down.
We don't fully control whether we live up to others' expectations. We do decide whether we meet our own.
The most important commitments to uphold are the ones you make to yourself.
This one time my friends and I had an idea... Then we made it a reality.
And now we get to invite you to enjoy it with us.
Welcome to Lindeville.

Worrying doesn’t mean you’re neurotic. It’s a sign that you care—and a strategy to prepare.
If you don’t anticipate problems, you can’t prevent them. If you never sweat the small stuff, you don’t practice for the big stuff.
In uncertain times, concern can build resilience.
“That’s just the way I am” is a missed opportunity for growth.
Personality is not your destiny. It’s your tendency. No one is limited to a single way of thinking, feeling, or acting.
Who you become is not about the traits you have. It's what you decide to do with them.
It shouldn't take a pandemic to convince people to put their mental health above their careers.
In the long run, the choice between success and well-being is a false dichotomy.
The best way to achieve your goals is to lead a life that invigorates you—not one that drains you.
Lorenzo Cain showed up to his first baseball practice in 10th grade wearing a collared shirt, jean shorts and basketball shoes. Then he played 10 years in the Majors, made two All-Star Games, won a Gold Glove and a World Series.
Today, he was DFA’d by the Brewers.
We spend too much time trying to reach other people's standards, and too little time defining our own.
It's better to disappoint another person than to lead a life that disappoints you.
Success is not about meeting someone else's expectations. It's about living up to yours.
Happiness is not a function of what you achieve. It's a function of how you spend your time.
Success is a temporary thrill. Happiness lies in doing daily activities that bring you joy.
There's always a new mountain to climb. You don't have to anchor your emotions to the summit.
