Vacation

I'm on vacation - I've pre-scheduled this post because...well...I can, I guess.

I'm reminded why stepping away isn’t a break from work - it’s fuel for it. For most of my career, I’ve been wired for urgency. Solve the problem. Keep the operation moving. Be available. Be responsive.

But there’s something powerful about pressing pause and spending uninterrupted time with the people who matter most. No meetings. No metrics. No deadlines.

Just family, laughter, and the kind of moments you can’t schedule.

Here's what I know:
The business will still be there when I get back.
My team will become stronger when they get to lead without me.
And I hope to return with more clarity, energy, and perspective than I had when I left.
Great leaders don’t just work hard - they recharge intentionally.
Family time isn’t a distraction from success. It’s part of the formula.

I hope to come back refreshed, grateful, and reminded that the reason we work so hard is to create a life worth stepping away for.

Please enjoy the pause from my regularly scheduled programming.
