“If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend six sharpening my axe.” Abraham Lincoln
Kirk is on vacation this week. He’s taking some time to “sharpen his axe” so he can be a healthier more productive husband, father, friend, and leader. It’s hard for any leader to disconnect, but it’s even harder to deal with the consequences of not taking time for true self-care.

3/2/2021
“Ideas are great… but they are only as good as the people executing them.”
Sean Spector, CEO + Founder Of Dropoff

We have all kinds of metrics and measurements to see how the business is performing, but we often...

Velocity Vector (Part 5): The Anatomy of Growth
12/9/2020
It’s true. NOTHING KILLS FASTER THAN SUCCESS.
