Some people pontificate.  They sit in their Aeron chairs and think of ideas they want to share with the world.  To some extent lately, I've felt more reactionary.  I have a great time conversing with people about their specific challenges or needs.  To that end, if you can frame your question or challenge in 2-3 sentences, I'll try to address it here in the blog amidst the regular pontification.  And now on to more of that:

If you're not uncomfortable, you're not doing anything all that interesting.  It's a simple idea, but let's face it - most people in senior management at established companies are fairly comfortable.  Or at least, they're a lot more comfortable than the guy starting the next YouTube right now.  Instead of always looking for the feeling of hitting a homerun, of banging on all cylinders, look for the feeling that's one step closer than that.  The feeling of risk.  Do something that makes you uncomfortable every day (use some common sense here) and see what happens.
