Update: Briefly, Joe's Eyebrows were at Bernie Sanders level - 0. Unconfirmed reports now claim they have grown so out of control there is a family of ground hogs living there if you look close enough. Also: Joe has spent so much time with ChatGpt, Grok, and Claude that HE IS now digital. The Greatest cat minds are being consulted for sand box containment solutions. As you read this and (hopefully) laugh please remind yourself I am a smart ass equal opportunity cartoonist and caricature artist. All family members, facebook friends, and Skool members of any kind are open season at all times.

I had my daughters today which was so much fun! I had Natalie in morning & Olivia in afternoon lunch Who else participated in this today?

"YOU are entitled to nothing. Want it? Earn It!" The world doesn't owe us a thing. Not success, not happiness, and definitely not results. When we sit around waiting to get "picked," we give all our power away. The moment we stop looking for hand-outs is the moment we start looking for handholds. What is the ONE skill you are intentionally "earning" mastery in this month?

I seriously needed these words this morning as I set my mind to what’s in front of me. I start a new remote position today with parkingpass.com New tasks feel familiar… but could not be more different if they tried. In my new position, I’ll be reporting directly to the CEO of ParkingPass.com Yeah… that part hit me too. Me? (points to self)This guy?Has the ear of the CEO? I’d be lying if I said that didn’t scare me a little. But here’s the flip side of that truth—I’ve also been given the opportunity to be influential in a very real, very meaningful way. The mission? Observe workflows.Understand customer-facing systems.Identify friction points. Spot the cracks before they become problems.And help build something better. And if I’m being honest… that’s exactly the kind of work I’ve been preparing for without even realizing it. So this morning, I reached for something that’s always hit me right in the chest— I’m a full-blown Star Wars nerd. Always have been. And one moment that’s stuck with me for years comes from The Empire Strikes Back. During a high-stakes escape, C-3PO calculates the odds of survival… 3,720 to 1. And Han Solo fires back with: “Never tell me the odds.” That line?That’s not just sci-fi bravado. That’s a mindset. Because sometimes the numbers don’t matter. Sometimes the situation should intimidate you.Sometimes you’re not “supposed” to be in the room. …but you’re there anyway. So you lean in, You trust what you’ve built and get to work. Game face is on. Let’s GOOOOO!!
