Big Red Car here.
So I finally got to run a bit yesterday because the sun was out though it was a bit crisp all day. This morning I got to get up very early and go for coffee at Austin Java on Windsor.
The Boss was meeting a young video entrepreneur and he agreed to do a deal with him. I like the idea of The Boss getting back into the deal business. This one will be fun.
Big Red Car here. The sun is shining in Austin and we are going for coffee this morning but not until I tell you an interesting factoid or two.
Big Red Car here. Still drying out from the rains last night and today. We need the rain so I can’t complain. Who would listen anyway?
So I’m talking to a cute little Mercedes Benz convertible (top buttoned up, mind you). She lives with an accountant and we get talking about the cash flows of our country. Not politics, mind you, just how much is coming in and how much is going out and how much we are borrowing.
Big Red Car here. So The Boss was discussing unemployment with a friend enroute to getting a burger at MightyFine. If you have not been there, then you owe it to yourself to go introduce yourself. Great burgers, great crinkle cut fries and fabulous lemonade. Right up the road in North Austin.
Big Red Car here. The Boss is back in town and he is back to business full steam ahead. It is nice to see him so busy as he has been at the beach, in the mountains on the East coast and skiing for Christmas. The last three months, he has been out of town a lot.
Now, he is back and I just might get a chance to blow out the cobwebs myself today if the rain holds off a bit.
This resurgence of activity got me thinking about the value and power of experience.
Big Red Car here. Raining in Austin and I don’t like that because I feel like a New Years Day run out to and through the Hill Country is something I need. Something I want.
Something I am entitled to. Speaking of entitlements, I heard The Boss pontificating on entitlements recently and here is what he had to say.
Big Red Car here. Happy New Year!
So The Boss is having a nice bourbon and gingerale with a pal of his and they get to talking about Boards of Directors. In particular, about Boards of startups or small private companies or small public companies. So, if you are on the Board of Exxon Mobil this is not for you but you can read it anyway and you will see the similarities.
The Boss has served on lots of Boards and is constantly being asked to serve on more. He likes serving on Boards as does his pal.

A lot of folks read my blog post yesterday on Mentoring — Head Fake or Worthy Endeavor.
I received a few questions — Hey, Big Red Car, what is the difference between coaching and mentoring?
Thank you for subscribing.
