Friends of Dave #310: the subscription for speed
Taking a break this week.
Hope everyone has had a great week. Thanksgiving Week for us in the US is always a good opportunity to recharge and reflect.
For me, it was filled with lots of great food and family time. Truly grateful for it all.
Nothing much new to say in the preamble and with me recovering from numerous episodes of food coma, this will be a short intro and abbreviated set of curated stories.
Without shame, I am going invoke the lamest words anyone can say when a meeting ends early:
I am giving this time back to you.
You are welcome. And if you really have a fever and the only prescription is preamble, let me direct you to my LinkedIn post from this week about gratitude, which you can find >> HERE << .
Rest assured we'll be back at it next week. In the meantime, enjoy some downtime this week.
Thank you for tuning in each week Friends. Safe travels!
XOXO
Dave
