Seventh year of parenting now and I still constantly complain how much less I get to do with having 2 boys in the house, and how all I long for is peace and quiet time. It’s true, they drive me crazy and take up a huge amount of mental capacity in my day-to-day. There is no mercy, there is no pause button. But somehow when I’m a father I’m… better. I am constantly on guard, I am focused and disciplined in the things that I need to get done for the day (before I finally have my peace in the golden hour of 11pm-12am)....

In my 10+ years of career, I’ve come to appreciate the one value in a leader that stands out above the rest. Of course there are many qualities that make a good leader - honesty, transparency, intelligence, charisma, communication, the list goes on. Perhaps it is some sort of privilege that most leaders I work with already come packaged with all this good stuff, and have become things that I take for granted....

First post! After thinking about it for years now, I finally took the plunge, bought a domain, spent three days learning how to build a static site with Hugo, and am now writing my first post.

(The title is clickbait-y but the reason is not really to make money)....
