“While the nature of the era a leader chances to occupy profoundly influences the nature of the leadership opportunity, the leader must be ready when that opportunity presents itself.”DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN |
Happy Sunday!
Hope you had another great week!
Michael here. ๐
Around 15 years ago, some friends and I created a small mastermind group.
We had a .zip file with 200 Philosopher’s Notes, a spreadsheet to track progress, and an agreement to read and discuss three new Notes each week.
That simple combination of Wisdom + Community was transformational.
A lot has changed in the world since then.
But today, as the pace of change accelerates and AI reshapes our world, wisdom and community are becoming even more valuable and powerful.
So who is on your squad?
Reach out to a few friends.
See if they’re interested in connecting, learning, and growing together.
Agree to read one, three, or five Philosopher's Notes together every week, sharing ideas in how you intend to live the wisdom.
And let’s create a flourishing world, together.
One person at a time.
Starting with you, and us, and your friends… today!
P.S. I got to reconnect with one of the guys from that early mastermind this week. (Hi, Mitch! ๐)
It was really fun to chat about that original group, and how we’re now executing a similar process now to help companies help their teams.
P.P.S. Philosopher's Notes isn’t a summary app. It’s a wisdom library.
Enjoy this weeks featured Notes!
