@sara__betts Clearly they don't know the story of the institution or those of its graduates, which is ironic as people covet finding these kinds of "hidden gems" and sharing it with others. Confidence looks good on you, Sara.

We know it's been quiet over here, but... if you're in or near Columbus, consider joining us for the premiere of this documentary on Bill Lilly. He was one of our most beloved interviews and by far the most popular podcast episode we produced.

A passion project. A side hustle.

Thanks to @craigmod for sharing this nearly digital-less journey to inspire others to realize that "to be 'bored' is to be free of distraction."

Our friend Ryan Scott shared this article with us not knowing it falls perfectly between our recent JOMO podcast and what we'll drop next week.

Take a read and take heed.

Then... who's up for a really long walk?

Some advice:
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS NOW.

Go outside.
Play.
Talk to real people.
Do something new.
Turn off the distractions.

We'll be here when you're ready.
On your terms.

When my wife ran over her smartphone -- with her van! --
things changed.

She realized much of her life was on a phone. It was dictating what was important, even when it wasn't.

Her choices: freak out or find joy in missing out.
We do have choices.

A quick read that jives with our recent podcast on JOMO: the joy of missing out

Fear paralyzes. Joy renews.

Choose joy.
