In a world of constant change, I've learned that true leadership isn't about having all the answers...

...it's about the courage to change your mind.

My new article shares a simple somatic practice that helped me put this kind of courage into action by listening to my body's wisdom.

The Book I Didn't Plan to Write

Why the very emotions we try to avoid are often the messengers we need to follow.

Bribing Trump, firing Colbert, and now bringing on Bari Weiss.

I'm not watching CBS News or reading CBS News articles. I'm not watching Paramount movies or shows. I am done with Paramount and CBS. They have sided with fascism, and we must side against them to preserve democracy. It's that simple.

Depending on what you mean by "foundational immigration law," it's not true that this system has existed over a millennia.

For much of US history, migrants arrived by simply walking off of a boat. First US immigration law came in 1882 with the Chinese Exclusion Act.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.
