Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. https://t.co/P7CcCnFTk1

Lies and conspiracies about my family and me are nothing new. Still, I am particularly troubled by the absurd claims that continue to pervade social media this week, fact checks be damned. Facts: I’m proud of the Clinton Foundation work that has helped tens of millions of people

Note to self: try for less animus… "For better or worse, I don't really think animus is helpful, particularly in my job," @DrFaucis1 told @statnews. "I think when you have animus to some people, it sometimes clouds your thinking."

The new trend after founder-led sales is going to be founder-led PR. It never made any sense for CEOs to outsource the most interesting part of their business: Their personal story. And the world has shifted from caring about brands to caring far more about individuals.

Be Curious!
It's easy to find ways to improve when you are genuinely curious about something. Rather than asking yourself, "How can I be better at this?" start by asking, "How can I be more curious about this?"

This. This is everything. Perspective is everything.💡
Think of a time you failed or struggled greatly. If you were to view that experience in a more useful way, what story would you tell yourself? What did it teach you? How did it prepare you for what came next? Turn your failures into lessons.

It is nearly impossible to have your best idea the first time you think about something. The most likely way to uncover important insights is to frequently revisit a problem. The longer you’re in the game, the more ideas bubble up to the surface. Time unlocks insights.

Lighten up. Relax. (Whatever it is, you’re probably taking it too seriously.)

"If you want to do media relations, think of the journalist as a journalist. And then correspondent with them like you would if you were in that role." Yes!
One of the things I've learned about great storytelling is that it requires having empathy for the audience. Which is why so much of PR/media relations doesn't work. Founders/agencies think of journalists as a conduit to their own sales or growth efforts.

Can you even believe the nerve of these people? Republicans used to be the party of less government but the TN GOP majority legislature and Governor’s office have gone full-bore, government takeover on Nashville. This is disgraceful.
The slate of anti-Nashville legislation is still pending in the General Assembly. I put this list together to help me track it all. I can't always make sense of the state bill tracker lingo. If there are errors here, let me know.

Okay this is fascinating. NEJM is launching a new journal called NEJM AI - and @zakkohane, a physician with a background in informatics, is the editor-in-chief.

Preach!
Working on a problem reduces the fear of it. It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it—even if progress is imperfect and slow. Action relieves anxiety.

Holy cow! “It doesn’t have to be this bad.” This podcast is worth every minute of the 31:01-minute listen and speaks to the “why” and the “how” and the playbook for my previous post. #sparkunity #dollyparton
