The good stuff is off the exits.

Someone noticed my Strava: 8+ miles, 3-4x a week. Where do I find the time? I'm working. I talk, my Grok Bot team executes. Speaking is 3x faster than typing (Stanford). Off-screen is where strategy happens. My office this morning:

There's a man I pass almost every morning at the lake. I don't know his name. But I know his bike, his wave, and that he'll be there. Fluorescent yellow, head to toe. Five or ten people like him. The ones who keep showing up. What are you a regular at? https://youtu.be/opIDkzQwTcE

Every morning this summer my walk has gone past Boot Hill in Ogallala. One board says only "Unknown." One has a name, age 19, and one word for how it ended. Not how we die. Whether anyone can tell what we stood for. Made this week's video on that hill, with my own pictures. https://youtu.be/7fKjp1KNQ4Q

My dad moved us to a small Nebraska town with no dental practice waiting. Just one friend who wanted him there. He didn't become a small town dentist. He had that job day one. He became "Doc Minneman". Nobody hands you that. The town decided it, out of everything they watched him do and the care he demonstrated.

Friday 1:15pm: I pitched a business idea to AI. Saturday morning: live site, CRM, analytics, dev environment, a 3-email drip campaign, and a working Stripe checkout. ~16.5 working hours. One human, one AI. ~$5/mo in new costs. 90% on my phone, while staining my deck. Receipts

This morning's ruminations centered around vision. Both figuratively and literally. Since I spend most of my days staring at a screen, I try to focus on eye health on my walks. No glasses, eyes on the horizon. We live at or near the highest elevation in Omaha, so there's plenty of horizon to work with. Focusing that far out gets you past the everyday tasks and short-term goals. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? What do you want people to say and feel about you when you're gone? That's Vision. Habakkuk 2:2: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it." https://strava.app.link/3aQAVEjzO2b
