What we can't see

When I started my first agency, we had a client I didn't love. He was a nice guy, and I liked his work, but I thought he was annoying and frustrating, and we ended up firing him as a client. The funny thing is, we probably shouldn't have.

6 Leadership Lessons from co-founding a crazy, amazing, world-changing nonprofit (48in48)

In 2015 I co-founded 48in48. Since that time, 48in48 has had a worldwide impact and delivered more than $25,000,000 in value to nonprofits. It all started with a crazy idea. Could we build 48 free websites for 48 nonprofits in 48 hours? Listen to this episode to learn if we did it (hint: we did) and the leadership lessons we learned along the way. To find out more about 48in48, visit their website here. To read more about Jeff, mentioned in this episode, you can visit his website here. To connect with me, go to adamjwalker.com

I'm going to try James Clear's morning routine

I think I'm going to try out James Clear's morning routine. I read a Medium article on it here: https://medium.com/illumination/i-followed-james-clears-morning-routine-for-1-week-here-s-what-i-learned-1bd19f7c5e10 and thought it was really interesting. James Clear's morning routine is pretty simple, though I can't do some of the items in it. It is: 1. Prepare for the next morning the day before 2. Don't set an alarm 3. Drink a glass of water 4. Write three things you are grateful for 5. Meditate for 2-minutes 6. Read 20 pages of a book 7. Do your most important thing first 8. Create when your creative energy is high 9. Don't check email until noon 10. Leave your phone away from you 11. Work in a cool space 12. Sit or stand, don't lay down while working

Let's Invest Our Downtime

As the world has been on lock-down, I’ve been thinking about our time at home. It’s a burden, but can it also be an opportunity? Sure, it’s an opportunity to spend time with family, most of us got that on day one. But, I wonder, is this an opportunity for more?

Half of what you know is wrong — according to Science

We tend to think of facts like concrete, a solid foundation. They aren’t. Facts are fluid because our knowledge is always growing and expanding. “Facts change all the time. Smoking has gone from doctor-recommended to deadly. We used to think the Earth was the center of the universe and that Pluto was a planet. For decades we were convinced that the brontosaurus was a real dinosaur.” - The Half-Life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date by Samuel Arbesman
