This is a great interview with some fantastic photos from Joe about his new book, Lay of the Land. I got a copy of the book when it first came out, and I devoured it. I had no idea it was going to be part memoir and I absolutely loved the story that Joe shared — I read through it in one day.

Your business functions as a product of how you have designed it
If you are a business owner or CEO, the current state of your business is a result of the decisions you have made up to this point… the goals you have set… the things to which you have said yes and no. If you don’t like the hours you work, the cycles of your revenue, the clients you serve…. start making new decisions.
Side note: if you’re a small business owner and you’re interested in the new training, email [email protected] to let me know and I’ll be sure to let you know when we open up enrollment for the next pilot group (around the end of October).
Quote of the Day →
Love this quote from Adam Grant on procrastination: “Many people procrastinate because they’re waiting for their motivation to rise. They forget that getting started is what leads their motivation to rise. Passion is not a prerequisite for progress. It’s often the result of progress.”
Meaningful Productivity is a Byproduct of Clarity
You can’t spend your time doing work that matters if you don’t know what matters in the first place. Or, in the words of Peter Drucker: *”There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”*
USB-C Dual Wall Outlet →
We often charge our phones at one of the side counters in the kitchen. And a few years ago I swapped the standard-issue wall outlet for this one that has a couple USB-C ports. And it’s been fantastic. It offers a 30W charge — so it’s powerful enough for fast-charging on our iPhones and it can easily charge our iPads and even my MacBook Air.
