Looking Down The Only Road We've Ever Known

Because you can never have too much gratitude, I wish to thank my existing and newfound friends and colleagues again for their time and talent at this week's "Heartbreak in the Heartland: Crisis in Rural America" roundtable conversation.

I'm a firm believer in, 'Together our voices are louder," but only when those voices drop their agendas, titles, and business cards at the door and focus on what it takes not just to face the same direction in establishing core purpose, but to focus on the tactical finish lines with a pre-established impact to be measured against.

It's always in the 11th hour the most brilliant ideas creep up, and creep up they did. There is never just one solution but needless to say, I am optimistic this is the start of some genuinely differentiated thinking.
