"Sam, I have something a little more executive in mind.," an old friend said in 2021 when I encouraged him to consider running for a State Senate seat. Guess he did -- and did it so well that his constituents overwhelmingly elected him to serve another term. Congratulations, Gov. @iamwesmoore! I'm so proud of you 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

God bless volunteer poll workers. Can believe we live in a country where thousands of people volunteer from dawn till dusk to power our elections? It's so commonplace and yet amazing. America, with all its flaws, amazes me all the time.

We can love things we cannot keep. We can work toward outcomes we cannot control. Accepting that doesn't mean being less ambitious. It means being more free. The lesson isn't to care less. It's to care more joyfully.

90 minutes before the deadline, I was sitting on my couch in the dark, laptop open, trying to find one more way to save hundreds of jobs. My wife came over and said, “You've got to stop. You've all done everything you can do.” I didn't want to hear it. But she was right. We had done everything we could. The work was ours, but the outcome wasn't.

I'm a take-the-laptop-into-the-emergency-room kind of guy. I like solving problems. Making decisions. Getting things done. But one of the hardest lessons I've learned is that doing everything within my power doesn't mean I can control what happens next. That's a difficult distinction when you're used to being responsible for results. Ours is the work to do. The outcome isn't always ours to control. Anyone else struggle with this?

We chase success because we think it will satisfy us. Then we get into the school, get the promotion, or hit the goal. It becomes our new baseline. Now we have one more thing to worry about losing. Some thoughts from my @StaffingTweets #StaffingWorld talk about ambition, anxiety, and what we cannot keep.

And what an NFC East we would have if #DALvsPHI were to end in a tie 🤔

I went to the hospital worried about my mortality. I left thinking about how I live. Not about how much more I could accomplish but about what really matters and what I (can't) keep. That experience changed the way I think about life, work, and the people I love. I recently shared the story at @StaffingTweets’ #StaffingWorld conference. Here’s how it began.

Athletes are human beings and should be afforded human dignity. I'm preaching this to myself. But I encourage you to watch @marshallkramsky's series.

This is what the story is when you have a signally gifted governor who works his heart out for his state. Gov. Moore once told me that if he could move the needle toward ending childhood poverty in Maryland but lost all his political capital, it would all be worth it. So of course people around the country are going to notice that kind of leadership and moral compass. But, it is so clear that Gov. Moore is focused on the job at hand. Note that the media is not going to write today about Gov. Moore's 2-to-1 support over his opponent or how he led the state while 64,000 new businesses have come to Maryland. That's just not as scroll-stopping of a story as this one. But, I don't think this story would've been written if not for the strong course the Gov has charted these last four years, and that deserves some more ink.

Maryland isn’t redrawing congressional districts today. It’s deciding whether to change the rules for drawing the next map. That may sound like a technical distinction, but it's necessary to avoid losing in court when the map gets changed next year. It could eventually influence who controls the U.S. House of Representatives. Here’s a summary in one graphic. #mdpolitics
