This turned out to be a useful conversation. As far as the topics related to this thread are concerned, my goals are:
- Work in earnest to produce my best work, in service of others
- Disregard personal attacks
- Take feedback from trusted sources and always try to improve
- Put my work on display regardless of fears of criticism
- Stay true to our values and our mission, regardless of the opinions of others (be sure to read the comments on this forum about the franchise idea when we first started)
- Encourage and support anyone that's trying to improve the status quo, in any meaningful way, inside or outside of Starting Strength
- Check my ego and admit when I've approached something incorrectly (respect to David in Arizona and HailMary for the self-awareness, even if we don't see eye-to-eye)
- Have fun, don't take myself too seriously, and don't take others too seriously
