Lessons Worth Remembering

A lot of what I write serves as a reminder—to myself. These are thoughts I’ve had, conversations I’ve had, podcasts I’ve listened to, or ideas I’ve read.

Most ideas aren’t original. They’re branches of other concepts, reframed through my experiences. So, if these ideas aren’t new to me—or maybe even to you—why bother writing and publishing them every week?

“People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.” - Samuel Johnson

As a professor, that’s a tough pill to swallow. Maybe it becomes truer with age, but it’s reality. We learn so much throughout life that we can’t possibly retain every lesson.
