“This photo was taken over a decade ago, just before my wife boarded the private jet behind us for a week-long luxurious girls' trip to Turks and Caicos. Now, before you assume this is one of those entrepreneurial flexes to make you believe I've always been some uber-successful titan of business, it is very much not.
In fact, we were nearly broke and living in a vacuum with no purpose or fulfillment.
I thank God for peeling the scales from my eyes to reveal the fallacy of success before it got much, much worse.”?

Being Boeing
Around the world in 8 days or whatever it takes!
The June mission was meant to be a quick eight-day round trip to test Starliner before it embarked on longer missions. But, plagued by helium leaks and thruster problems, it had to come back empty. After the Starliner fiasco, Boeing fired the chief of its space and defense unit.?
The Starliner mission’s failures highlight the risks of relying on past reputation instead of adapting to new challenges. What can entrepreneurs learn from this?
