One year ago today, our house burned down in Los Angeles.
A few things I learned over the past 12 months:
- I had a home to lose -- that fact alone is a gift
- Everything we touch is temporarily on loan, never truly ours. Shifting from "I lost this" to "there it goes" is a subtle but meaningful reframing
- Humor, for me, was the best medicine
- I didn't need 95% of what I owned and never repurchased it
- Family heirlooms and gifts from my kids went from being "things in a drawer" to the deepest losses. Take photos of it all, and while you have them, put those things out - proudly and visibly
- If a friend experiences a loss, send something. A card, a gift, anything, the physical object in the mail is very powerful
So many to thank:
@sacca/@crystale, @tonyconrad, @tferriss, @joshcook and many others sent things I could have bought myself but didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to even think about. I’m forever grateful. And to @sara, thank you for the incredible generosity with furniture and clothes when we moved into an apartment, you have such a wonderful heart. Also, @m_franceschetti and @eightsleep for the bed (a staple in our home) and offering a discount code for fire survivors.
@trueventures, their first call was "what can we do" and "take as much time as you need", such the true way, what a fantastic firm.
Lastly, to @summertomato - such a pillar of strength and wrangler of the chaos. The kids walked away wiser and with deeper emotional intelligence by your handling this with grace.
I'm know I'm missing so many...thank you 🙏
What a year and chapter, onward. Wishing you all love and safety this year. Be well.

@KySportsRadio@ryanlemond my daughter is turning 11 and we are hosting a bday party Sunday including some Taylor swift trivia. Looking for a multi answer (top 5) questions to ask. Any suggestions? DM to keep Ryan’s trivia pure.
@LouStagner thanks for the news letters, love them. On this weeks regarding GIR can you share the average GIR/Round by handicap? It would be interesting to know how we stack up to peers.
Are you playing the best driver for YOUR game?
How do you even know if it's the best option?
Will any driver work? What do you stand to gain from the right setup?
Trying to find the correct driver for your game can be confusing and a lot of effort. You need a fitter that will optimize what will work for you and not simply try to upsell you on higher margin options.
In today's podcast, we have a very interesting discussion on things you should be thinking about when you are trying to put the optimal driver in your hands.
