This Ignatian Practice transformed my soul and how I relate to people. The Daiy Examen, typically done before going to bed has made me, a type A, enneagram 3 and entrepreneurial / scattered brain guy into a more thoughtful person. Let me explain:

St Ignatius likely didn’t know this (or didn’t have language for it) but when you sit alone in silence and reflect, you’re rewiring your brain to be more reflective, even when you don’t want to be. Like a guy who takes up jogging, he may not notice the increased capacity til he needs to chase down a bus before it leaves the station, contemplative prayer provides benefits not realized til the heat of the moment.

I recently had an experience where I was annoyed the actions of someone else and stopped, took a breath and said, “why am I annoyed?” Maybe this person was an idiot, or didn’t think, or just was having a bad day but why did my response outpace the stimuli?

I was able to share with this person my thoughts in a non-judgmental and non-confrontational manner and we had a good talk. These were skills I didn’t have prior to this practice, I would suppress til I exploded, which wasn’t good for me or the other person.

Even if you’re not religious, to take a few minutes every night to look back on your day and ask yourself if you’re living the values you’d like to can be transformative, especially in a world than expects knee jerk reactions. I’m glad I found this model of prayer and hope this helps someone.

Had the pleasure to visit Rock Lititz today, a one of a kind production community that supports innovative creativity within the live event industry. Anyone remember this album from back in the day?

Luis von Ahn, founder of Duolingo decided early on he never wanted cost to be a barrier for someone to learn a language. As a result, 97% of Duolingo users have never paid a penny.

Taking a page from his book, i never want cost to be a barrier to someone getting the tools they need to find a new job, and as a result the vast majority of our users never pay a penny.

Emails like this are common, and we celebrate every win at ihelppastorsgetjobs.com

25 years from now: “what was your dads parenting style?”

One thing about living in Central PA is that the food sucks. For real. So many people are like “dude this restaurant is killer” I’ve had better food out of a truck in the Bronx. But I will say this. When it comes to baked goods, they do it right out there. They don’t know how to season meat and I think spices are against their religion but these bakeries are on point. Except for bagels. Bagels here are trash.

Forget your Stanley Tumblers. Get a Nalgene tallboy. Been drinking room temperature water out of this puppy since the mid 2000s.

Merry Christmas, Christ is born. May your 2024 involve more slow walks with people you love to no place in particular.

One of the best pieces of career advice I’ve ever heard was “the more focused you are, the faster you will find a job.”

Some people think, I’ll apply to anything and everything and surely someone will call back and it’s a bust, but those who get really into the weeds find a new job quick.

I explain how in this post, “Stop calling yourself a consultant.”
