Thanks for the tag.

I recently listened to Shane Parrish’s interview with Angela Duckworth on the podcast “The Knowledge Project”. She talked about needing to change the noun concerning “passion” from ‘follow’ to ‘develop’. That change really resonated with me and is what I want to help foster in S’s.

It helped me to think…Read more

With this in my pocket I cannot fail”.

Do not feel guilty. You are unbelievably loaded up at LCS and the quality of what you do is apparent to anyone paying attention. I have found that the process of integrating into Cohort for me started 3 years ago when I asked Rollwagen why he was so excited after each session. I keep trying new things on for size, it feels comfortable…Read more

Tibor Kalman’s quote is exactly the place I want to get to in my thinking.

Having conversations is critical for my growth. Is volunteering to be a C21 helper the only way to ensure continued engagement? I am interested to know how others handle this and maintain the community they have found. I know I have not utilized the google Hangouts effectively… perhaps really…Read more

I want to make sure that he receives proper credit for driving this project forward. He deserves the lion’s share of the credit, I had a hand in the coding and brute force organizing of the dataset that we are using. I am learning much…Read more
