We spend so much time trying to measure people. Score them, rank them, or fit them into a system that was never built for them in the first place.

The leaders who stop doing that are the ones who actually win.

Tomorrow at 11AM CT, Sandy Rosenthal and I are going live on Substack. It's the day before the 21st anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Let's talk about what happens when the systems meant to protect us fail and nobody is held responsible.

I have been hosting this podcast for a while now.

That might be the most Ripple-y line anyone has ever said on it.

We are so divided right now, politically, socially, even at the dinner table. Somewhere along the way, we decided that disagreeing means we can't respect each other anymore. That's backwards. This is about finding Ripples of Respect instead.

Told a stranger something I needed to hear myself for years. The most empowering thing you can do is actually stand up for yourself. Not loud, not aggressive, just done absorbing what you shouldn't have to.

The moment Sandy Rosenthal started speaking out about Katrina, powerful people came after her.

Her response? If they're coming after me this hard, I must be right.

She kept going for twenty-one years. The truth finally got out.

[Steve Harper aka Mr. Ripple @Rippleon]

Sandy Rosenthal said this after powerful people spent years trying to shut her down for telling the truth about Hurricane Katrina.

She didn't back down. She took the attacks as confirmation she was right.

Listen to the episode on YouTube or anywhere you get your podcast.

[Steve Harper aka Mr. Ripple @Rippleon]

Nobody knows your story better than you do. If you don't write it, it won't get told right.

Twenty-one years ago, the survivors of Hurricane Katrina were told they didn't deserve help.

Sandy Rosenthal was one of those people. What she did next changed everything.

@NatashaCL7 Well that, and tacos.

How many of us might be millionaires if we’d only had the courage to strike up conversations more often with strangers? How many of us might have found friends, spouses, employers and employees? How much richer and more satisfying might our lives be?

Every team is a structure. It has a load it was built to handle, and when the pressure exceeds that, something breaks.

Usually quietly, before anyone notices.

[Steve Harper aka Mr. Ripple @Rippleon]

Claire Hayek drew a distinction here that I think a lot of leaders need to hear. Calm isn't the absence of pressure. It's not even close. It's having enough space inside yourself that the pressure doesn't get to make the decision for you.

[Steve Harper aka Mr. Ripple @Rippleon]

Claire Hayek gave me an analogy I know I'll use for years.
