Intro

First time blogger, long time reader.

I'm 40 now, and I recently quit my job. More about that soon.

In the nearly 3 months since, I've been doing stuff. In my new "slow pace" life, I've had time to get some stuff done, and get my whirlwind of ideas under control.

I'll spare you the details, just know there was a lot of chicken or the egg type stuff going on, and notes scattered through countless google docs & spreadsheets. 

But no more!

Further, my career pause has afforded me time to workout more, explore Florida, gather my thoughts and make plans.

One thing I've always had rattling around my head were takeaways from career. Which I enjoy talking to others about.

What makes a 20-year career different from a 1-year career? Time. And experience.

Twenty years in, and I'm ready to start talking authoritatively (by nature I've been relatively guarded) on topics I feel knowledgeable on.

This all follows my final year of work (so far), one in which I took some leadership courses and read some books on the subject.

I'm pleased to report the stuff I learned in that year was generally in line with the same closely held beliefs I arrived at on my own throughout my career.

I'm looking forward to articulating that stuff and more.
