Dispatch w.18.2019
I'm writing this on Wednesday before I jump on a plane to London. I have the great opportunity to go to LC19 and other events connected to the Leadership Conference. Pastor Craig and Amy Groeschel are both speaking, so this year will be extra special. This is the third, possibly fourth, Alpha Leadership Conference I've attended, and I am so thankful for our amazing partnership and friendship with Alpha, Holy Trinity Brompton as well as Nicky and Pippa Gumbel.
Knowing my travel and upcoming schedule, I doubt there will be a dispatch next week...but we will see how it goes. As you're reading this on Friday, I will be traveling to Resurgo Ventures with my dear friend David. I was invited to speak and do some Q&A for Resurgo and all of their entrepreneurs and teams. I love this statement on their website: “Resurgo Ventures backs emerging entrepreneurs we believe can make an unbelievable difference in the world.” It should be a fun morning pouring into leaders and entrepreneurs who are focused on making a difference in the world. The best way to stay connected to my trip is to follow along on Instagram and watch for Stories about my time there.

Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has developed 13 questions to quickly determine your leadership ability. What’s the summary, you ask? Nothing you shouldn’t already know—the best managers are those who help their teams succeed. (read more)
A really good read: "Exhaustion Can Be Disguised As Laziness." In this article, Tim Denning shares the thought that it could be something else at play when we're feeling lazy. We’re not born lazy but when we have the ‘hustle till you die' attitude we can burn out. I completely understand and connect with this. I have the been-there-done-that gold medal and don't recommend you pursuing it. Burnout is real, and we must kill this hustle mindset. It’s killing us. (read more)

Wait until a friend takes their first bite of bacon to tell them...there’s an enormous outbreak of African swine fever among Chinese hogs. It’s disrupting global grain, meat, and financial markets in profound ways. There’s no danger to humans, but the swine fever is essentially fatal to pigs. Chinese officials say they’ve slaughtered around 1 million hogs so far, and analysts say there’s more culling to come. (read more)
