Every generation is the caretaker of the generations that came before, and the trustee of those who will come after.

We have thousands of years of history to look back at and learn from. There is no reasons to be optimistic or pessimistic about the future: it does not yet exist. – Wrath of Gnon

Stranger Things debuted on Netflix. Compelling storytelling, a homage to a time in America that has seemingly gone by, and good-times with my brother and dad on the couch at the house. The Duffy brothers have really done something here. It truly is next level stuff. Can’t wait for season 2.

These are people who are so passionate for their craft and their business that they transcend the ‘stars’, transcend their employees, they even transcend food. They find essential human truths that are concealed in the vagaries of mankind. The combination of their observations has been inspiring and impactful on how I’m looking at business, and frankly, life right now. Looking outside the industry you are currently in can provide immense insights that can conversely be applied to your industry. This video, is a great example.
