I’ve become addicted. Yep. I think I’ve now watched the entire set of new videos that are on YouTube. They are short, like about 10 minutes each, which is perfect for that quick walk on the treadmill or around the building at lunch. They grab you with real wisdom and inspire you. They’re simple.

I hope they ignite your passion to be a leader by watching a few this week.
