Authenticity as currency

Three men In the mountains
Closed eyes, bright sun. Ahkil and Djuan loved the Glacier i shared with them. Such a joy to see others feel the splendid wonder of the wild.

Roughly a dozen years ago when Mid Life Celebration, LLC was incorporated (2009), was inspired to write…

Authenticity is the new currency.

Now, 13 years later, inspired to write…

Authenticity as currency.

Authenticity is not new.

“Authenticity is the new currency” felt new in 2009.

Yet’s it’s been around “forever”.

There are people who use authenticity as a currency. They base their personal and professional brands on being authentic. (i aspire to be one of those people)

They don’t need to tell you they are bold and .think .differently

You figure it out for yourself simply by listening to them, and, especially by watching them.

World class quitter

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Red Team is a small think tank. Helped Changing Discourse launch.
Walt Disney World road signs
At this Disney intersection, pulled bicycle over, opened Cast Block Out Dates app, booked Magic Kingdom reservation. Magic indeed.

Recently dropped off of Changing Discourse’s red team. Another red team member jokingly called me a quitter.

Thinking about it more, began to embrace the joke about being a quitter.

It led to this…

Quit thinking like everyone else.

Quit doing things the way people think it should be done.

Quit being afraid.

Quit waiting and doing nothing.

Like a list of things you are grateful for, there’s literally no end to the things we can and should quit.

The best storyteller

Disney customer service keynote speaker
Started a tradition. Text Lee and Dan Cockerell, and Jody Maberry every time there’s a visit. Yesterday was one such day. Pre-Thanksgiving Day week. Wore mask although not required.

Your life is your message.

In a perfect world, you don’t need to explain anything with words.

In a perfect world, your actions tell your story.

In a perfect world.

Aim for perfection, settle for excellence.

The road to excellence has no finish line.

Climate crisis proposal

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth screen shot
From 2006 release, finally watched it in 2021.

If everyone does a little bit, a lot gets done.

Whether in a small village, or a planet with 191 Countries.

It all comes down to a simple proposition.

Will we embrace a growth mindset or a closed mindset.

Meaning, will we accept responsibility, or will we cast blame?

Will we work together, or will we raise walls of division?
