In this week’s episode, I talk about the need to understand relative impact. From seat reclining and font sizes to access ramps and viral infections, I discuss how empathy is an effective tool in understanding how things that aren’t a “big deal” to us can be huge issues for others.
“Being a calming voice in a sea of panic is one thing. Being reductive and dismissive is another.”

In the latest retrospective, I share my latest experience with equipment failures abroad and how rewards/punishment have been affecting my weekly commitments. Whats a bigger motivation, 500 burpees or apple pie and ice cream dessert?

I’ve had to learn to become more comfortable with the ending of things.
I haven’t always gotten the endings that I’ve wanted.
I’ve often tried to keep things going just to avoid an unpleasant ending.
I’ve also returned to situations I should’ve left alone in order to “fix” the previous ending.
But that’s not how things work.
Some things end on a high note. Some things end in a messy way.
But regardless, they’ve end.
I’ve had to accept the fact that sometimes, the last conversation I had with someone is the last conversation I’ll ever have with them.
Sometimes, it’s because it’s not possible to have another conversation.
Sometimes, it’s because there’s nothing left to be said.
But I still had to move on.
There’s always another ending to face.
Until the last one.
And getting comfortable with that may be the hardest thing.
