As I was thinking the other night, I began to consider the different reasons for generosity. Take a minute to see what you think. Whoa - look at the bags under those eyes :) I guess I was up too late.

Starting a Job Search as a Generous Mind

Today starts our job search in earnest. We have spent months praying and processing what God might want us to do after leading GMI. But most of that processing has been among a small group of people that God brought to us during our sabbatical. Today, we get to open that process up generously. So after all of Mindy and my discussions, we have created a web site to allow you to hear from our heart and connect with our passion. On this page there are links to my various social media, an introduction letter, an infographic, his CV, and a Program & Product Inventory. My hope in this job search is that I can be a Generous Mind by sharing what I have learned, how I have grown and the passion I have at the intersection of innovation, ideation and integration. This generosity is not only to get a job. There is more to it than that. We want our journey to instigate, inspire and inform you as you are on your own journey. So whether you have any thoughts about my future career or not,

The Brokenness in Asia's Most Important Relationship

We all know that Asia has taken center stage in so many aspects of the global economy. The rise of China is the exclamation point but by no means the only dynamic story to watch in Asia. But of all the dynamics, the most intriguing is the relationship between China and Japan (and the US's role in Asia related to both of these countries). I just finished reading " Asia's Reckoning " by Richard McGregor. He did a fascinating job of documenting the relationship between China, Japan and the US since World War II. In that telling, we see a roller coaster of intrigue and negotiation as the US balanced its security interests against economic ones. At the same time you see China's efforts to dominate the region as it rises to economic and military power and Japan's economic rise/subsequent fall after the humiliation of loosing the war. If you love geopolitics and cross-cultural interactions, I would highly recommend this book. It should be required reading for a

You are Known by What You Share

Today on Twitter Cathy Day shared "You are what you read." I have heard multiple versions of this quote over the years. Another popular version is "You are what you measure." The main idea behind these quotes is that our actions reveal something very significant about who we are as individuals. As I thought about Cathy's tweet, I decided to write back with this addition, "You are known by what you share." While what you read ends up making you who you are, what you share is what defines how people know you. It will paint you as a radical, a friend, an intellectual, a humorist, a profane person or a person of great principle. As I considered this idea, I thought about the fact that we can shape how we are known by what we choose to share. Are we sharing on particular issues? Maybe we have a cause that drives our Generous Mind. Or perhaps we are sharing about family and friends and that is what defines our generosity. Whatever we share, we need to
