OPTIMIZE with Brian Johnson | More Wisdom in Less Time

Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky is a great book. It falls into the “Alexandra Amazon-ed it and I immediately swiped it and read it” category along many other books including, most recently, The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins.

A couple +1s ago, we hung out with Mister Rogers in his barrelful of songs. Today I want to hop in the pool with him and then do something extra special.

In our last +1, we hung out with Mister Rogers and his barrelful of songs. That story he shared about meeting a songwriter he admired reminds me of some similar wisdom Joseph Campbell once gave. ..

In The World According to Mister Rogers, our beloved neighbor Fred tells us a story about a time when he was in college and went to New York to meet with a songwriter he admired.

A few +1s ago we talked about being the change YOU want to see in the world. As we discussed, we can’t try to be what others think we should be. We need to be who we KNOW we should be.

In our last +1, we talked about being the change we want to see in the world. I asked: What change DO you want to see?

Today I’d like to let you know that I officially have a new job. It’s one I’m quite excited about.

In our last +1, we spent some time hanging out with John Maxwell and his 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth. Recall the focus of that discussion: “You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.” (<- Change anything?)

John Maxwell is one of the world’s top leadership experts. He’s written a bunch of books and sold 25 million copies of them (in 50 languages to boot!).

After watching the absolutely wonderful documentary on Mister Rogers called Won’t You Be My Neighbor, I got a few books by Fred Rogers.
