Voice.
Meaning.
Beauty.
Everything else is salt and pepper.
A few weeks ago I watched a story on 60 Minutes that I found to be profoundly inspiring. It involved a prep school in Newark, New Jersey, a Benedictine monk, and a body of young men being nurtured and educated in a way that I had never seen before.
It’s an honor to introduce you to Fr. Ed Leahy, the young men of St. Bendedict’s Prep School, and the good and necessary work they’re collectively participating in.

As you approach this week, may you push against the resistance and bring your best self as a gift to the world.
I jotted down a list of artists today that have moved me recently…and one from 20 years ago….see below.
Grant Achatz – Artist
Jimmy Fallon – Artist
Jeff Koons – Artist
Mrs. Collins – Artist (my 6th grade math teacher)
Aaron Franklin – Artist
Ryan O’Neal – Artist
Lin-Manuel Miranda – Artist
Your job is to make sure your name is on such a list of those you are looking to reach and lead.
You do this by giving gifts that help allow the world to taste, see, and hear what would not have been tasted, seen, or heard without you.
