Finished Dead Weight by @hildur.bsky.social last night. Fascinating (in the root sense of attraction and repulsion). The writing is excellent and the story is influenced by things we don’t see (like Planet 9, which is mentioned in it). 👍

Hand hold a book titled Dead Weight by Hildur Knútsdóttir. The cover shows the head of a statue, broken at the neck.

On the Reach Your Do Point® podcast, I asked @berkson0.bsky.social how a strong narrative helps avoid the trap of saying, "We'll be the next Microsoft" or the next Netflix. Full video: youtu.be/F9nDQzsWmO0

This is Nick. He was called “Pumpernickel” at the shelter (back in 2019), we thought that was a bit much. We shortened it to Nick.

Jeff Toister on getting past the transactional people and finding a human. royatkinson1.substack.com/p/the-skills...

"I remember Ramona's name because she was a human. She starts the call with that "I've got you" energy. And it wasn't her department, but that didn't matter. Ramona said, I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Give me a moment. I'll put you on hold. I will find out who needs to fix this and I'll come right back. And she did. And to me, that's the difference. Ramona was the human I needed" - Jeff Toister

"a lot of the people that I coach are professionals. They're successful and yet they've got inside of them, some belief, it's in their mind all the time, belief that came from God knows where, right? Because our minds are so amazing that limits them and they play smaller when they should be playing big and be unstoppable."
