“My friend and Ringleader Ventures partner Mike Maddock has created or collected, some of the very best turns-of-phrase on the planet. You can’t read the label when you’re inside the jar. God isn’t done with me yet. Knowers vs. Learners. The story I’m telling myself... Cliches are cliches for a reason.
A verbal spell-caster and meme-master, he has an arsenal of hundreds of these contagious gems, and I find myself using them all the time.
That said, the one that has been coming to mind, and into practice, most lately: Nothing makes me feel stronger than introducing two great people who deserve to know each other.
One of my favorite feelings in the working world is the feeling of connecting two stellar folks. The smiles arising from the initial goodwill and “transitive trust” are reward enough, but the downstream “dent in the universe” that stands to be created is the real payoff.
Thank you for teaching me to be generous with relationships Mike. Here’s to possibility!*
