I loved having @noahkagan on the Reboot podcast where we go way back to our first interactions, Noah's growth as a leader and how he shows up as CEO today. It's a great conversation. It's been awesome to watch Noah & team grow at @AppSumo. Congrats on the book @noahkagan!

Regrets are incredibly powerful. When regretting the past, they clarify what we value, and instruct us on how to do better. Anticipating what we might regret helps us lift our gaze out of the short-term to think and live long-term acting from a place of what really matters most.

Having an inner critic is painful. It’s always asking if “I’m worthy”. Worthy of all the good things in my life. I have this notion that to be worthy, I need to be perfect. An impossible quest. I remind myself that worthiness is a result of who we are rather than what we do.

I had a neighbor that hated me and it really, really bothered me. I’m the kind of person that wants (maybe needs?) people to like me. But she’d just look at me with disgust for no reason.

I’ve been thinking a lot about an observation from my 5 year old daughter after we visited Cedar Point Amusement Park (highly recommended) this summer: “Daddy, the best rides are the scariest ones to get on.” Feels true for life as well.

In a world that emphasizes ease it’s important to remember that the goal is not to avoid difficulty, but to keep our eyes open and chins up.

It’s amazing how often the conflict we’re struggling with at work has its roots in a conflict from our childhood, perhaps even one that wasn’t ours.

Employees know that leaders won’t have the solution to every problem. But they should make the effort to understand the problem and work toward a solution.

Wise words from Ed Catmull. As Jung said: “Until you can make the unconscious conscious it will direct our life and you will call it fate.”

The entire question of leadership is this: What do I focus on?

Are you running towards or from something? Are you running towards a vision, a dream, a goal? Or running from a fear?
