I can’t say it enough—dreams don’t happen through the efforts of one or two people. In our media-intensive culture, we frequently don’t look beneath the surface. Too often we place credit or blame on whoever happens to be in front of a camera. When you listen to athletes reflect on their careers, most of them […]

Planning a project like this is a pretty humbling experience. It’s really amazing to feel the power of a community forming around a dream. People are stepping into the circle from all directions, asking how they can help, and running with their ideas. I’ll do some short posts this week to offer some insight about […]

That’s a great question. Obviously this project is bigger than any one–or two or a dozen–individuals can manage. Beyond that, we want to offer as many folks as possible the opportunity to contribute and participate. Here are some areas in which we know we’ll have some needs: Logistics We need people to ride with Rich […]

I wonder a lot about the connection between Jesus’ birth and saving money–otherwise known as the “Holiday Sale.” I’m not sure how such incongruous notions became so tightly linked, but I suppose there’s not much I can do about it. Check out my response in this special edition of Rich’s Semi-Regular Newsletter. This week I’m […]

Did I really just see my first Christmas decorations? Seriously? Here’s a link to the very early holiday edition of Rich’s Semi-Regular Newsletter. Thanks for all of your continued support.

Do you believe in fairness? Do you try to treat everyone equally? I had a curious conversation recently. Seated over lunch at an event with some men I’d just met, one guy (correctly) observed that the entrance to the building was a challenge for someone in a wheelchair.
