You can do 27 things not that well and be stressed and rushed all the time. Or, you can do like 2 to 3 things really well with deep focus and fulfillment and time and space to breathe. So many people, even more-so organizations, suffer from the former. Don't.

Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.

Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.
