General Shoutout

To the amazing people at Campaign Zero, one of the best teams I have ever had the privilege of working with. It’s hard to wrap my mind around all the work that’s been done these last couple years. What’s to come, I’m certainly looking forward to the challenge and to what needs to be done. Much love.

Friends, Food, Workout, Travel

Looking to next year, there are things missing in my life. Things I need to be more intentional about. Friends, food, workout, travel. And I’m going to make them a priority moving forward.

Wakanda Forever

Project launch for Campaign Zero:

We recognize that what’s past is prologue and invite you to meditate on the people, places, and moments of yesterday that have shaped who we are today. We are all confronted daily, with the beauty and terror of the world we live in. Here, we reconcile both the extreme and the nuance of our reality to prepare ourselves for the path forward. We have gathered what we know of the past, how we understand the present and now we are ready to build a story for the future. In your wildest dreams, who can we be?

Can you recycle it?

New project launch for the City of Omaha:

The Omaha Recycling Guide is designed to help residents in the City of Omaha understand what items are accepted in our curbside and drop-off recycling program. By recycling the right items in the right way, you help improve the overall quality of our City’s recycled materials. Recycling right also prevents damage to equipment, is safer for workers who handle the materials, and keeps contamination out.

To Be On This Team

When doing the work, with the organizations we work with, for the causes we fight for, the team must:

  1. be open to ideas, coming from all directions

  2. understand the process isn’t something to simply complete

  3. get as many people bought in along the way as you can

  4. pushback yes, confrontation no

  5. we are here for the cause

  6. in the search for what’s possible, know what is

  7. there is no such thing as the ideal scenario

  8. bring to the table what needs to be brought

  9. the process can be adjusted, it’s okay

  10. no one is the smartest person in the room

  11. there are times to speak, listen, write, and refrain

  12. it’s the people, then the work, don’t worry about externalities

  13. everyone does their part, no need for excuses

  14. there’s talk, and then there’s getting it done

  15. professionalism, maturity, respect, humility

  16. we deliver, end of story

  17. and things change, that’s how it is
