Well, I *had* a new Journal entry written out for you, but then I checked in with my kids on camera. Watch what happened when I interviewed the experts on hope and leadership:
With each new day brings about an entirely new shitstorm to wake up to. The false guarantee previously known as the American dream has splintered into an unfixable mess.
This morning I woke up curious about hope. Where does it come from and how do we get more of it?
To me, hope is an evolving relationship. It comes from our past experiences and is fed forward into the future. It’s a lifeline that smothers our frayed nerves and tells us to keep going. It tells you to open your eyes wide and look around. Now count what you see: those things will get you through this.
Now that we’re collectively in the eye of the storm, or are about to be, what does hope and leadership mean to you? What do your kids say about all of this? Please tell me we’re not alone here….

To me, hope is a choice. When you are confronted by multiple possibilities, you discard the ones that are not useful. What remains are the outcomes you can have an influence over and you work to exercise that influence.There is no point in worrying about ones that you can do nothing about.
What remains is hope.
