My podcast this week is Tim Ferris with Brené Brown — Striving versus Self-Acceptance, Saving Marriages, and More (#409).
Brene is a Texan and you can learn about her here, though I bet you already know her? Something jumping out at me when listening to this chat is how Brene's voice tone, cadence, and inflection remind me of Sally's partner/boss Betty Burgess. And I am especially focused on how Brene uses her voice to speak in a way that is empowering!
Follow me on this if you will. It made me think of this announcement at Autodesk from Don Parker, the entrepreneur who started Shotgun, one of our most successful products. Don is stepping down and turning the business unit over to Sarah Hodges. When reading through the comments on Don's announcement, I noticed an interesting business coach (of Sarah's) by the name of Nan Crawford. Nan's site and mission are interesting in the context of what we often talk about regarding how you present yourself to the world. (I promise not to talk about LinkedIn and your front porch today.)
I hope you will find some time to listen to Brene.
Stay whole,
Dad
“We chase extraordinary moments instead of being grateful for ordinary moments until hard shit happens. And then in the face of really hard stuff — illness, death, loss — the only thing we’re begging for is a normal moment.”
