Be good, have fun, go hard!

— Kristy Metzner

Reflection

Happy Birthday, Kristy! In honor of my wife’s birthday, I’m sharing the daily challenge she gives our four kids; a mantra that’s simple but not easy (especially for this audience). Most high-achievers I know are great at working hard, but “have fun”? 😬 I know, you love your work… but hear me out. Without healthy play outside of work, the imbalance eventually shows up, and sometimes in ways that can make the "be good" part harder than it ought to be. So today, in honor of my fun-loving wife, make time for real fun. Play. Laugh. Simplify life a bit, and do something that brings you joy, just because it does.

Looking forward,
