I had a conversation some time ago with Jackson, a friend of mine. It was one of those talks where you cover everything from how we had the best ideas to fix the national debt to “were you good at sports as a kid?” It’s funny how two guys talking over coffee seem to have a greater bank of wisdom than the
president, congress, and all of our friends combined. And, since business mirrors life, we folded a lot of the conversation into how we behaved in our respective careers. When we started talking about how we made big decisions, Jackson said, “If I am ever at a loss as to which direction to go, I always think of what my father told me the entire time I was growing up under his roof.”
