I have been writing and speaking about the power of human engagement for 15 years - now is the most important time for “Community, Collaboration, and Conversations”. Industry associations have a key role in figuring an antidote to loneliness.

We cannot stand still. Progress is happening. But in a fast changing world, being part of the conversation is important.

The James Talarico interview on YouTube is a “must watch” for all Texans. Texans all parties do not like federal gov’t pressuring networks. We like independent swagger and thought. This is important for all to watch. Especially if you are Christian. piped.video/WLDE9LrGpNk?is=GuUk… #texas

Its time we see the top of the business world find a way to pay if forward to those who need a hand. Not handouts, but there are so many ways we can fix healthcare, education, etc.... Great leaders lead.

We have to do something about health care in the United States for those not working for big companies. I don't think entrepreneurship is really winning if so many are being left behind if they are not financially well off.

We would never dismiss the grand possibilities of a great life lived between age 25 and 50. So this, we shouldn't dismiss the greatness that can happen between 50 and 75. Make age 50 to 75 the best years of your life.
