Masters Friday Vibes

On this Masters Friday, I can't help but share my excitement. The Masters is my favorite tournament, and it always reignites my passion to get out on the course.

Golf has beaten me up over the years, and for someone who likes winning as much as I do, it has certainly been humbling at times! After years of writing swing thoughts and techniques, I re-read and some are utter garbage.

But two insights stuck out today:

🏌️‍♂️ Target is the golf ball. Trust the setup. Trust your club choice. Trust your practice. Swing confidently. Even If you mess up, don't ever change this mindset.

⛳ Practice alone isn't enough. You have to play actual rounds to understand how you perform on the course - with pressure, with difficult lies, with real outcomes.

Sometimes the most important business lessons come from unexpected places. What's your favorite way to disconnect and gain perspective? Can't wait to play.

Sorry for the interruption, have a great weekend.

Fear, Growth, and Leadership: A Skiing Story with My Child

This year, my 9-year-old and I set out on a skiing journey. We wanted to brave the cold, spend quality time together, and challenge ourselves. Over 20 years ago, I was a decent snowboarder, so I thought, “How hard could skiing be?” Besides, I had tried it before. We started

AI is Creating Engineers Who Don’t Think

I am so jealous of modern web development. Back in the day, when we coded by hand with just a text editor. We solved problems by thinking. Trial and error, not just Googling. As the web became more in use and people started sharing, and we were lucky if we
