Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
U.S. senator John Tunney, the son of famed boxer Gene Tunney, was a member of that subcommittee. Bradley remembers going to Tunney’s office to lobby him, while Tunney sat there with a hammer, breaking hard candy as they talked. He told a Hollywood writer friend, Jeremy Larner. It ended up in a Larner movie, Robert Redford’s The Candidate. Bradley said Tunney told them his father had never been able to end restrictive agreements with promoters and managers and lost all his money from his famous fights with Jack Dempsey. He said he would oppose the merger.
The simple act of creating something with intention first, before consuming the work of others, alters the dynamic. This is a small-but-mighty behavior I learned from a podcast interview with my friend Marie Forleo, and I’m grateful for that wisdom every day.
Creative Calling
Chase Jarvis
We need a practice of some sort because doing and being become so painfully separated in modern life. The antidote is to set aside time for reflection, contemplation, and focused presence. This is not mindlessly daydreaming, zoning out, or going into a stupor. It is from a state of energized being that we realize the highest potentials in any situation.
