When the eyes are new, everything is renewed, refreshed, and recharged.
Paul Valéry once said, “To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.”
What have you been calling yourself?
Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, is one of the guys that I’m always taking notes from. Back in March, I read an article in Fast Company about his decision to move the company to adopt Holacracy. Holacracy is “…a new way of running an organization that removes power from a management hierarchy and distributes it across clear roles, which can then be executed autonomously, without a micromanaging boss.”
Today, the book came in.
If you or anyone you know has implemented Holacracy, I would love to hear about the experience and learn whatever you can teach me.
I started reading it tonight and as the book reads – ‘change can be elegant’.
Sounds fun.

This week’s artist overview is My Morning Jacket. Be sure to purchase their new record, The Waterfall.
The song we look into is called ‘In Its Infancy (The Waterfall)’. Lyrics can be found below.
Again [x10]
The idea was always there, in it’s infancy
The seed took root, over many years
An idea grows before it walks
And as it walks, it learns to run
And as it runs, it feels it’s form
The waterfall, can it be stopped?
Again [x12]
[Chorus x2:]
Again I stop the waterfall by simply thinking
Again I stop the waterfall before my breathing
Again I stop the waterfall by finally feeling
Again I stop the waterfall by just believing
Again [x11]
