Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

Allowing my Self to fall out of alignment.Allowing my Self to get...
“The search for meaning is only valid if you’re willing to take action with what you find.” - Paul Rosolie I’ve recently gone down the Paul Rosolie rabbit hole thanks to his recent podcast appearances on Modern Wisdom and The Diary of a CEO. If you haven’t heard of Paul before, I highly recommend checking out one of the episodes, and I’m going to recommend his new book even though my copy hasn’t even arrived yet. Paul’s purpose in life is to save the Amazon, and he committed himself to this...
Yesterday, I received a prototype of a t-shirt I want to make for the PRST brand, which sparked a cool back-and-forth with a friend on LinkedIn. The shirt, still in development mode since I don’t like the style of t-shirt it was printed on, was inspired by a shirt from the brand 247. 247 is the athletic-wear division of the Represent brand, and in many of the vlogs on the Represent and its co-founder George Heaton’s YouTube channels, you will see a black t-shirt with small holes and tears...
