A few weeks ago, I was at Milford. Let’s just say that it was a much-needed experience.

On my flight home on Monday, I was seated next to a guy who seemed to be starting his midlife crisis that very day. One of the things we have in common is a dislike of the “Where do you see yourself in five years?” kind of question. Our goals are not tickable boxes that way; they never have been. What we seek is experiential: a great environment with interesting problems. In both our cases, our definitions of interesting problems had shifted recently.

And he said, more than once, “Respect your dreams.” Always good advice, but also something I needed to hear that day.

Interesting conversation to start the week with, and something that keeps coming to mind.
