I love fine cigars, whiskey & Kansas City. My day job is CEO of the KCATA. I'm the flame, not the moth. Opinions are mine alone.

Listen, you might beat the 1974-75 Kansas City Kings but you damn sure weren't going to out-pants them in the pregame layup line.

My Mama made us leave the house in the morning and said, "Don't come home till the streetlights come on." I guess I turned out OK. 😉 #GenX

You could learn every sales tactic in the book, but it'll still never be able to hide the fact that you're operating with a scarcity mindset

Your problem is that you need the sale. You're subconsciously asking yourself, "How can I get them to say yes?" Instead of listening with presence, you're worrying about the "right" response while they're talking

You only care about the "right" response because you're outcome dependent. You care more about putting money in your own pocket than actually solving their problem. You set yourself up for failure from the start because you operate with selfish intentions

It's just covert manipulation. The same behavior that makes someone a "simp." Need this pickup line. Can't text too much. Then she'll give me a chance. It's all done to help yourself

The solution is to "not care" what happens, but you can't fake that. Have to genuinely "love yourself" so those tendencies disappear. Always another person. Always another opportunity. Always confident regardless of how much I make. Genuinely believe this? You get out of your own head. Interactions become natural. It's all an internal game

DOT Secretary Ray LaHood: High-speed rail is coming to America, and this is a very big deal for American workers!

The Biden Admin is planning to use funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to construct multiple high-speed rail lines. @TTDAFLCIO

Humans are great at hindsight, but they have almost zero ability to anticipate the 2nd and 3rd order effects of their actions.

Don't be so stuck on learning from the past that you don't plan for the future.

The past is done. The future is coming, whether you're ready or not.
