In a changing world, expertise quickly becomes obsolete without humility and curiosity. Expertise is what you know. Humility is knowing what you don’t know. Curiosity is how much you want to learn. Expertise yields insight today. Humility and curiosity fuel growth tomorrow.

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones. Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply. It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

Reunited with a mentor and friend today after some turbulent times. Man, it felt good. Affirming. Constructive. A reconciliation. If you have a standing, but strained, relationship that has potential to become whole again, tap in. It’s worth it.

My dad was at the last Beatles concert. No, he didn’t know it either.

I’d love to know what $20ish bottle of red wine you think is better than Broc Cellars’ Love Red. I’ll definitely wait. #Elevage

End of an era! Been passing by that shop since Jacques Cousteau was on Channel 9!
After 83 years in Oakland, this Saturday will be Steele's last day in business. I hope someone saves that rusty scuba diver sign! reddit.com/r/oakland/comment…

Sincerely appreciate all the incredible orgs doing amazing work in Oakland. Thanks to the many of you who added new ones to my radar. Closing replies, as I now have my work cut out for me to review your suggestions!

There are two primary strains of right-wing Christian Nationalism in America at the moment. 🧵 1) the most extensive, called Seven Mountains theology, bubbled up from independent charismatic entrepreneurs like Lance Wallnau.

Turns out most people like a democracy that includes voting.
Election deniers running in competitive states for secretary of state — which in most places oversees the voting process — generally underperformed fellow Republicans on the ballot for three other statewide positions: Senate, governor and attorney general. n.pr/3UWy5kV

Early next year I’ll be hiring a junior program manager to build and maintain a database, gather, analyze and visualize data, and support org learning and knowledge asset management. Maybe a few of you 🫡 would consider leaving tech for philanthropy? DMs open.
Please pay appropriately for talent. #PSA

It's better to be the wisest person in the room than the smartest. People prove their intelligence by showing what they know. They reveal their wisdom by integrating what everyone knows. Intelligence can be used to advance personal agendas. Wisdom guides groups to shared goals.
