Applied Serendipity: Oct. 14

A look at how I’ve used Applied Serendipity in my own life lately:

CARE: Caring about the crisis in literacy. Millions of kids can’t read and we’re ignoring what works. More to come on this crucial topic—for now, learn more here.

PREPARE: Preparing all of the jars, labels, extracted the honey, and set up the bottling operation to put honey in jars this weekend and begin shipping and delivery. 

AWARE: Aware that the days getting shorter, the last leaves falling soon, and the need to get outside and enjoy this beautiful time of year in Western New York. .

SHARE: Sharing a book I’m reading, Quit, a decision-making approach to knowing when to walk away.

DARE: Daring to share some provocative insights on the inflection point we’re at on data and digital transformation on upcoming podcasts in November.
