Hello - @Eli Del Rio and I just spent the most wonderful hour together - we chatted about a litany of topics and I learned a great deal about the over the road driving experience that is Eli's world and I shared some war stories along with business assitance for both of us. Join us next Thursday at 10am Eastern - and join the conversation. @Scott Fullerton peace and be well. @Shanti Gold have a great weekend, we missed you. To all of our members - may the 4th be pecaeful, enjoyable, and safe. Heave bless this community - seriously - while we ahve been quiet we own this space and we have the opportunity to lean in and make a differeince. On a personal note, if you follow me on Substack at Beyond the Binary, yesterday I discussed how I see the Declaration of Independence as a visioning statement, a stil out of reach objective for where we shoudl be and each generation helps lift us forward. In that I asked a question.....What does the World need more of? A single sentence or more is all it takes. I think it is a grand question. From this question I will be starting a video blog where I wish to provide 15 minute interviews for youtube and social media with this singular question - - you get to answer it - I am the interviewer but I want to see how people answer and discuss why there response applies. No judgements (of course) - so @Art Smith might say...."The world needs more Gay Bars" - and then we would discuss those benefits - 15 minutes. Short simple, I believe will have value. Here is a link to sign up. And please share with people you think would enjoy, I’ve started a short series called *The World Needs More…* — fifteen minutes, one question: **what does the world need more of?** No prep, no script — just your honest vision, and it becomes a short published piece you can share. This is your moment to say the thing you actually believe the world needs more of — out loud, on the record. Nazeera and Tip are already in; I’d love for our cohort to be well represented.

Friends - I hope each of you is well. I spent last week at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Management with so many members of our community focusing on our Businesses rather than in them. I have missed our coffee chats. Let me know - Danielle

🚀 Sometimes you don't need another plan. You just need to fly with it. The rest gets built in flight. 💜
