Most of us would say we believe in compassion. We'd put it on the list of values we admire. But when it's tested, when it costs something, when the person needing help isn't convenient, what happens then?

Jesus tackles this exact question in the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). ... Read more 👇

Look around at most workplaces, churches, schools, and even families. People are not flourishing. They're surviving. They're managing. They're hitting their targets. But ask whether they're growing into the fullest version of themselves, and most of them, if they're honest, would say no. Something has gone wrong with how we lead and grow each other, and it's worth asking what. ... Read more 👇

Through 2026, AI has rarely been out of the headlines, and not for the flattering reasons. I love this technology. I use it, I write about it, I get genuinely excited by what it can do. But part of loving something is being honest about where it can let us down. So today I want to pull back the curtain on what's actually going wrong, and more importantly, what we can do about it. ... Read more 👇

How do we actually shape the culture around us? Most of us would say we want to make a difference, change the conversation, leave the place better than we found it. Then we go quiet. We don't say the thing. We don't make the call. We don't push back. And the culture rolls on, shaped by the people who were willing to use their voice when we weren't. ... Read more 👇

Most of us assume we make up our own minds. We watch the news, we read the articles, we scroll through the feeds, and we form what feel like our own opinions. But there's a quiet psychological process happening underneath all of that, one that shapes our preferences and beliefs without ever asking our permission. Once you know what it is, you'll start spotting it everywhere. ... Read more 👇

You don't get the palace without the pit. It's one of the harder truths anyone trying to build something meaningful eventually runs into. The road to whatever success looks like for you usually runs through some version of the wilderness. Most of us would rather skip that bit. Most of us can't. ... Read more 👇

"Which organisation do you belong to?" It's one of those questions we ask each other almost without thinking, and the reason we ask it is that we're trying to work something out. Are you one of us? Or are you in a different box from mine? There's a hardwired instinct in most people to figure out which group someone fits into, and it shapes how we treat them once we have the answer. ...

Most people don't quit on their dream in one dramatic moment. They quit slowly. A small piece of belief gets chipped off by a rejection. Another by a setback. Another by someone close to them telling them, helpfully, that maybe it's time to be realistic. By the time they actually let the dream go, it's been bleeding out for years. The dream didn't die. They just stopped feeding it. ... Read more 👇

Most people who dream of starting a business never actually start one. The gap between the idea and the ex*****on is wider than people expect. The principles of building a strong startup aren't really the hard part. The hard part is sitting down, doing the actual work, and being honest with yourself about what you've found. ... Read more 👇

The seven most expensive words in any business are: "that's the way we've always done it." Once those words become normal in a team, the slow decline starts. The competitor moves faster. The technology shifts underneath you. The customers find someone newer. By the time anyone admits there's a problem, the gap is already too big to close.
