It’s part of it and happens, though it’s actually happened very rarely to me on the way to an event - usually on the way home. Don’t mind the travel hassle, hate not being able to deliver as expected.

Most people are so focused on those who aren’t in their corner that they ignore the people who are in their corner. The result is that they’re never happy and eventually burn out those who are supporting them.

Focus on what matters.
Focus on who matters.
Gratitude is the key.

Happy New Year! Adjusting my approach and focusing on my #oneword2026 Connect.

@JonGordon11 @getoneword Connect

I was thinking about “Purpose”, but “Connect” jumped out, stood out, and won out.

I’m at my best when I’m connecting with others and playing connector.

I also want to connect with the best parts of myself and with the people, things, and causes I care about most.

[Fred Smith @fredksmith]

@BiffPoggi Thank you @BiffPoggi. Wishing you all the best for 2026 and beyond. Go Blue!

@SEhrhardtKCCI @KCCINews Jamie is a good man, a fantastic AD, and a class act. I love his healthy perspective, his appreciation, and excitement for what they might be able to do next.

Prayers to Larry’s family. Always joyful, positive interactions with Larry, even when we were on opposite sides of competition. Rest easy Larry.

Larry Williams, University of San Francisco Athletic Director, died on campus this AM. He was working out and had a heart-related incident.

Williams, 62, previously was AD at the University of Portland, Marquette, and Akron. He played football at Notre Dame and in the NFL.
