Can’t wait to listen to this!
M,
Just want to say in listening to this again the “Mensch Factor” just increased by a factor of three for your good self.
Things I notice — which I’m sure others notice — but which don’t get cited often enough:
1) you never cuss or swear or use foul language — I get the reasons why, and for those of us regular listeners and readers of Ctrl-Alt-Delete, it’s clear — but the fact you don’t get hoovered into the 4- and 7-lettered word maelstrom is admirable. Every time I note it, I smile.
2) the fact you don’t name client names…and thinking back to all the times you’d highlight a relevant example to illustrate a point on the pod, you never do mention any specific clients…just industry segments. Again, major mensch move…
3) I’m half-way through my listen right now — though I thought the above two were good and salient enough to mention without the inordinate additional 20-minute wait…
Thank you again for this. My steno pad is filled…again, top to bottom line…
