I am pretty excited today. A couple of days ago I was instrumental in arranging a meeting between Brad Brooks of the Associated Press and an officer in my company. I received a call on Thursday of last week from Brooks requesting an interview with one of our very influential officers. Well, I worked about half a day on it and I was able to arrange the appointment. Not only did I get him the appointment with the guy he wanted to talk to but I also was able to set up an appointment with an even more important player in our company. The following day I met him outside the gate to bring him inside for his interview. Brooks is a very nice guy, likes to write about cats. We went to the interview it lasted nearly two hours. Well, Brooks got a lot of good information and was even treated to lunch. His story came out today. I didn’t think it was too bad but apparently someone does. It is all over the internet. He may have misrepresented the facts a little. The tone of the story may have been a little negative. Here is the site you can go read it for yourself. Please, I would love to hear what you think.

Hey, I read the article. I’m like you, I don’t think it’s too bad. I think he was trying to be realistic and face the facts as far as what is actually possible vs. what leaders would LIKE to see. But he tempered it at the end with the quote about needing a vision of what could be in order to move forward. I definitely don’t see it as negative in tone–more like cautious. Hope you’re doing well. Stay safe!

I agree with the comment above. What I read sounded pretty fair. Cautious is a good way to describe it.
