We're all dealing with shift, big or small. Sometimes shift gets us stuck. I help you deal with shift and find a way forward.

@ReedTimmerUSA Seeing the Dominator in your community is like seeing the 60-Minutes film crew in your lobby. Something is about to happen and it ain’t gonna be good.

I’m learning how to vibe code using Chat GPT.

The first instruction was for me to buy cargo shorts and move into my mom’s basement.

You can’t copy a breakthrough.
You can only run your own experiment.

That’s the Bilbao Effect.

[Dennis Hodges @dennishodges]

We’re so often trained to edit ourselves for belonging that we forget how to participate authentically.

Today, take one small unfiltered action.

Simone de Beauvoir captured an essential truth about career and identity:

“I accept the great adventure of being myself.”

Your work becomes more meaningful when your presence drives your performance.

You get to fill in the blank.

What would ______ do?

Choose someone who moves you.
Not to copy, but to catalyze.

This isn’t about them. It’s about you.

The courage to begin again often starts with imagination.

So imagine it.
And begin.

We already gamify exercise, spending, and scrolling.

What if we gamified curiosity?

Procrastination often looks like laziness, but it’s usually fear in disguise, dressed up as “not ready yet.”

Fear wearing a lab coat of perfectionism.

The antidote?
Act before you feel ready.
Ship the messy draft.

Momentum beats polish every time.

Mojo is not a mystery.

It’s your natural state.
But sometimes it drifts.

Every day — especially today — is a chance to get it back.

Not through hacks.
Not through waiting for the perfect moment.
But through presence, permission, and momentum.

One step at a time.

Isolation saps energy.

Connection replenishes it.

Call someone who sees you clearly; someone who lifts you up.

The right conversation can reignite a spark you thought was gone.

If the task seems overwhelming, look at it like a garden that needs weeding.

Don’t try to weed the whole garden at once. That’s too much.

Just pull one weed.

[Dennis Hodges @dennishodges]

Many of us mistake activity for energy.

We fill our calendars and inboxes and call it progress.

But motion without momentum feels like running in place.

Momentum builds when your actions connect to meaning.

Here's why - and how to get it back.

Likes fade.
Promotions fade.
Kindness sticks.

My father left a “Bob-sized hole” in the world.

The ripples of kindness he started are still moving.

Lots of lessons in how he lived his life.

Sometimes the smallest gestures -
listening,
laughing,
showing up
leave the biggest mark.

The stories told at your funeral will not be about your résumé.
They’ll be about your presence.
