The movie “The Big Short” is a great explanation of the housing collapse of ‘08 and the powerful ensemble cast in the movie are excellent.

In one scene, Steve Carrell’s character enters a group therapy session late and begins addressing everyone assembled loudly talking over the man who was sharing something deeply personal.

In time, Carrell’s character heals from his grief over his brother’s suicide and his focus begins to shift from himself toward others.

It helps us all to remember that:

• This made me hate the piano even more

Remember the California Raisins?

They were claymation commercial characters promoting raisins from California to the world dancing to “Heard it through the grapevine.”

(Really great marketing if I remember it all these years, right?)

Well, raisins come from grapes and today I’m traveling to deliver a speech at a winery so I wanted to remind you of some important lessons we can learn from grapes:

• Our options are ripe or rot (just like a grape)

Begin now to consciously choose who are you are “ripening into” >>>

One of the things I love about speaking in Indianapolis, IN is going to the Rhythm! Discovery Center in downtown, which is an interactive museum about drums and drumming.

There behind glass, you’ll get to see one of the actual drums played to inspire Napolean’s troops forward in battle.

Did you know that Napolean’s drummers were taught only the march forward drum pattern and were never taught how to signal a retreat.  

Why? Because “retreat” was not in Napolean’s vernacular.

In today’s JumpStart learn:
