What is one thing you can’t live without?
I can’t live without fire. But it has to be the right kind of fire. It has to serve, burning deeply. The love I have for Aada fuels everything else. She brought me into alignment with what it meant to be high octane. I have never been searching for Gabby Sidibe. That archetype became attracted to me because I was willing to be Brandon Frankel.
It’s all about learning how to be the right kind of alpha. The right kind of alpha doesn’t want you to know they exist. They are too busy tending to sick people and making executive decisions for everyone else.
When you are the executive Director of a symphony, you show up on Saturdays to tend the lawn.
When you are a cybersecurity director, you spend time in the dirt.
Buy the guys who work at the car wash a big gulp, every once in a while…… and finally, I can cry.
