I think they have an afternoon workout still.

The Soul of Wealth Chapters 4-6
Date: 2025-01-28 AO: 3rdf-timekeeper Q: Roulette PAX: Starch, Taco_Stand, turkey_leg, madison, kirby, wingman, Hippie, Gump FNGs: None COUNT: 9 Really good conversation this morning with plenty of input from everyone. We even had some guest PAX that haven’t read the book but couldn’t resist the coffee and good conversation.
Chapter 4: Comparison Is the Thief of Joy Humans are psychologically wired to make social comparisons as a way to reduce uncertainty and ambiguity. To counteract this tendency, we must focus on personal goals, practice gratitude, and be intentional about where we draw inspiration.
Chapter 5: Meaning at Work Postal employees, once seen as messengers of sympathy, love, and commerce, have become marginalized in a soulless system. This chapter emphasizes that purpose-driven organizations with a clear mission tend to achieve higher financial performance and happier employees. A sense of belonging, a shared purpose, and active organizational support help frame perspectives, even during mundane tasks.
Chapter 6: You Might Be Solving the Wrong Problem Companies like Kodak, Blockbuster, and Blackberry faltered because they failed to address the right problems, leading to their disruption by newer models. In personal finance, the lesson is clear: focus on your own game and stay aligned with your unique goals to avoid similar pitfalls.
Starch will lead on Chapters 7 – 9 next week… “The Power of Habits” through “Your Money Needs a Why”

MARY: Strong work by all the pax mileage ranged from 5-7. Alf was able to complete a loop on horsey but was bummed that he both won and lost the challenge being back 5 minutes late with Astro pacing him back on the return to launch after doing his marathon training workout. Fleetwood, Hopper, Geraldo, Retread and YHC all turned around at various points on the greenway knowing our speed, my apologies for the wet and icy spots. Good thing this challenge likely won’t be called again for a few months. ANNOUNCEMENTS: None COT: Astro with the takeout.
