Staff Shortages Everywhere Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show we’re talking about delays of all kinds. I’ve been in several conversations over the past few weeks in which lenders have notified us of delays in processing paperwork. The same is true of zoning applications before the city. Even delivery of certain construction services are being impacted. What’s the reason?

Labor shortages.

BOM - "Why The Best Are The Best" by Kevin Eastman Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

Our book this month is definitely worthy of the book of the month criteria. It's written by a gentleman who I had the honor of meeting about a month ago. The book is called, “Why the best are the best.” By Kevin Eastman.

Kevin has dedicated most of his working life to the sport of basketball. The pinnacle of his career was at the top of the coaching organization for two teams in the National Basketball Association. He was the assistant coach for the Boston Celtics when they won the NBA championship in 2008. Kevin was the assistant coach and Vice President of Operations with the Los Angeles Clippers.

When I spent time with Kevin Eastman I was struck by his ability to distill big ideas into very simple and clear beacons of light that can serve as a north star for those times in life when one is pulled off course.

How often lengthy explanations and excuses can be cut off with a few choice words that bring the ego back to earth.

Kevin is a life-long student. This is a phrase that I hear often. I suppose there are those who truly believe that they’re being a student. But Kevin is a student every spare second of every day. He speaks of a work ethic that is the work ethic of champions. But it’s one thing to say the words. It’s quite another to truly embody those words.

In Kevin’s world, success lies in simplicity, confusion lies in sophistication.

At the core of success are three elements:

1) the work that goes into it,

2) the mindset that must be turned into habits and

3) the execution discipline.

It’s not about what the words will do for you. It’s about the what the words will do to you. If you’re not changed by the words, then the words have no impact.

The core of the book are 25 words. That’s it, only 25 words. You could think of the book like a dictionary of a mere 25 words. But unlike the Oxford dictionary which takes a word and provides a couple of sentences to define that word, Kevin takes an entire chapter to define a word.

Confronting A Difficult Decision Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about confronting a difficult decision and an iconic building that nearly failed.

We take it for granted, waiting for the elevator in the lobby. By the time we are walking around the perimeter of the building taking in the spectacular views, we take the structure of buildings for granted. The floor beneath your feet feels as solid on the second floor as on the fifty second floor or the 92nd floor.

Sadly, the world witnessed the collapse of a 12 story building only a few days ago. 12 story buildings are commonplace. They’re a dime a dozen. How could a 12 story building fail?

On today's show we are talking about an iconic building rising more than 900 feet in the air that almost failed. But they fixed the problem.
