Friday mood. As we move into the holiday weekend, I think about all my friends and colleagues who are in transitions right now. It's a slog; it goes in fits and starts. Consistency is a challenge. And weekends suck because no one else but you is thinking about you or your situation. We feel no movement on those days. Long weekends exaggerate that feeling. It reminds me of a recent comment by one of my favorite New York Rangers players, Chris Kreider, about one of his young teammates. Kreider describes how in the playoffs you don't necessarily step up your game, but you lean on your habits - your great habits are what help you to focus and succeed at times of greater stress. So for those of us in transition - lean on your habits. They will lift you up and allow you to navigate the ups and downs. Keep on keepin' on. Check out the interview here:

The future faces of baseball operation management are right here.

In 2012, Red Bull took a breathtaking leap They launched the Red Bull Stratos project, sending Felix Baumgartner on a helium balloon to the edge of space, a staggering 128,100 feet above the Earth. At that time, skydiving from such an extreme altitude was unheard of, let alone without a vehicle. Red Bull pushed ahead, backing Baumgartner to step out into the void, freefalling and breaking the sound barrier at speeds over 840 mph—making history. This wasn't just a stunt; it was a groundbreaking event streamed worldwide, showcasing Red Bull’s brand at the pinnacle of human achievement. The global buzz created was a marketer’s dream, turning the energy drink company into a synonym for extreme sports and daring feats. By the year's end, Red Bull saw a notable jump in sales, increasing by 17% to more than $6 billion—a clear sign of their marketing genius. Today, when you think of energy drinks, Red Bull likely comes to mind first All due to innovative marketing and expansions ideas #redbull #marketing #stunts #felix

What is your "I'm going to cut down the nets" dream? Jimmy Valvano's dream in 1980: "I'm going to win a national championship and cut the nets down". The team visualized and practiced achieving the dream by cutting the nets down. He painted the picture for them: "If I can get you to see what I'm seeing, to dream what I'm dreaming, we can win it." At first it was awkward, and year 1 didn't end well. It took 3 years of ups and downs before the manifestation of his vision in one of the greatest upsets ever. Do you think NC State wins it all in 1983 without Jimmy V's clear vision and belief he instilled in his team? Have you visualized your dream? Imagined the time and place it will happen? The challenges you'll have to overcome? The behaviors you'll have to exude? The feeling you'll have when it's accomplished? Paint your picture. Make your dream tangible and explainable in detail. Start April with 2 minutes of inspiration from Jimmy V:
