Big Red Car here with a new roof over my head. For “61 squares” — meaning 61 X 100SF/square — cost $18,650. That’s about $3.05/SF. Nicely done, Prosperity Roofing.
OK, so today I share some rules with y’all. We’re talking CEO Rules.
Ready?
Jessica A Ellis was a combat medic who was killed in Iraq on Mother’s Day 2008.
Sunday is Mother’s Day. It made me think of her.
May 29, Monday, is Memorial Day. I will think of her again.
On Sunday, I want you to take a second and think about the price of freedom and who we ask to pay it. If a tear comes to your eye, all the better.
Jessica A Ellis, combat medic, KIA 101st Airborne Division, Iraq, May 2008. Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal, M4 Expert marksman.
Big Red Car here in secret telling mode. Guy sends a hateful email to The Boss saying, “Why can’t I get on the Wisdom of the Campfire website?” Pushy sort of human.
So, Big Red Car tells him, “It’s a fiction. That’s the name The Boss uses for his CEO coaching gig. Doesn’t have anything to do with you.”
“But, there’s a domain and y’all control it. Are you hiding something?”
“No,” sayeth the Big Red Car. “Nothing to hide.”
Internet, today we talk the size and breadth of the Internet.
Big Red Car here on a gray day with a new roof almost finished on my house. My house.
So, The Boss comments on the Internet using Disqus as “JLM.” You can find his fingerprints if you look.
One of his favorite blogs is AVC.com which is an extraordinary blog about all things venture capital.
Who doesn’t love criticism? Haha. Me, too.
Big Red Car here on a grayish day in the ATX. Getting a new roof, so I have to get finished quick as the mortar fire (the dropping of bundles of shingles on the roof from height) starts in three, two, one! Bam!
This is roofing. This is chaos. This was done voluntarily. This is the Big Red Car’s parking space.
OK, so today we talk about the breakfast of champions — criticism. Who doesn’t love some criticism?
So, when you’re a writer, you join a couple of writer’s confabs. You go to some coffee shop — dude, it has to be a coffee shop because coffee shops kept the light of learning aglow during the Dark Ages, right? before Starbucks even — and bring 2-3,000 words of you latest masterpiece with which to WOW your fellow writers. You feel it?
Telling stories and storytellers, Big Red Car? Whatsup?
Big Red Car here on a lovely Monday. On Earth as it is in Texas, y’all.
One of the things I have to put up with is The Boss hogging the computer. He’s always writing something and he’s gotten a few stories published. Like the guy needed a little more to humble brag about. This has been going on for a long time, but he’s just in the last five years admitted it publicly that he’s some kind of a writer. Who knew?
Sanctuary cities, Big Red Car? Pray tell?
OK, so the People’s Republic of Austin (really Travis County) has a Sheriff — Sanctuary Sally Hernandez — who took it upon herself to decide which laws and what level of cooperation with ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) she thought, in her opinion, was advisable. Criminals were being assisted in avoiding capture and deportation because she didn’t like the idea.
She got cover for this nonsense from the County Attorney, David Escamilla. He’s a good guy, but way out of his depth and lacking judgment. This decision resulted in the loss of millions of dollars of state aid for Travis County which hurt veterans programs. You know The Boss is not going to like messing with veterans, right?
County Attorney Escamilla and Sheriff Sanctuary Sally had no right to inject their vanity into veterans benefits. Shame on them.
Texas Capitol, where they make the laws in the great State of Tejas.
I know, you think a Sheriff should enforce all the laws, right? Silly goose!
So, what happened?
Big Red Car here, y’all, talking risk, fear, slavery and other deep stuff.
So, entrepreneurial endeavor is a risky business by its very definition, no?
When an entrepreneur faces risk, she will generate some resultant fear. Perfectly normal. Sorry.
That fear is pervasive. Never takes a vacation and lives in her brain like an African safari worm.
So, what does one do, Big Red Car?
