I'm gonna sit down with an old buddy, John, today. Working together in heavy equipment manufacturing, John and I spent years making decisions that affected people, operations, and outcomes. In this episode, we look back at some of those calls — what we saw at the time, what we missed, and how they actually played out. No theory, just how it went.

We like to think we’re in charge. We build cities, make plans, argue about the future like we’ve got a say in how all this plays out. Then you look at something like Yellowstone… and it reminds you — we’re not running the show.

Not even close.

I’ve been wondering, and we’ll discuss, not for the first time, that the EV market will not be the dominant, world saving segment of the automotive industry in the United States.

They'll have a niche, but not what was projected.

I admit, I'm kind of jumping out of my skin with the anticipation of NASA collaborating with Space X and others to send people back to the moon, and then on to Mars. It seems like a given, we're gonna do it.

So Buckle Up, Champ!

I heard someone say once that by 60 you’ve got the wisdom of three 20-year-olds. I don’t know if that math works… but I do know this — at some point in life, you know too much to keep playing small, regardless of your age.
