Everyone who said that me moving with the kids to Swarthmore would be the end of my marriage is probably right. And while I’m at it, all the people who told me to stay away from the farmer when we were dating — you were probably right too. And the people who say in the comments section that I don’t know how to do intimacy. I guess you were right also.

Inventive Problem Solving

FEBRUARY 21, 2017

There is a single question that I'm asked over and over again. "Why do businesses continue to use the same tired, ineffective and frustrating processes to solve their problems when they just don't seem to work?" The answer that I give is simple. They continue to use these ineffective techniques because they just don't have a better way. It seems that many business teams will use a "Vanity Metric" to convince themselves that they've been successful.

The people with the most grit are really poor or really neglected and they overcome those circumstances. But why aspire to that? We glorify it like life is one big Horatio Alger story. Working smart is the opposite of grit. We also glorify the idea of persisting through hardship. There’s the Seth Godin book of grit that everyone loves: It’s The Dip.
