New research shows intellectual humility predicts who can spot misinformation. Not intelligence or education. Character. The ability to be wrong. When I was seven, I insisted the moon was following our car, certain I was right. That certainty reflects our cultural challenge today. We don't lack information. We lack the character capacity to change our minds when evidence contradicts what we want to believe.

The dinosaurs of my childhood are not the dinosaurs kids are learning about today. Not even close. A new study just confirmed that Nanotyrannus was its own species, not a juvenile T. rex, meaning textbooks need rewriting again. Since 1990, paleontologists have named a new dinosaur species every two weeks, and experts estimate more dinosaurs remain undiscovered than have been found. My nephews correct me about dinosaur facts now, and honestly? I love it. Because it means we're still learning, still discovering, still willing to be surprised by things that have been dead for millions of years.

AI just eliminated one of psychology's most reliable cognitive biases and replaced it with something far more dangerous. New research reveals that when we use AI tools like ChatGPT, we all become equally overconfident, unable to distinguish between genuine understanding and AI-assisted performance. We're getting smarter, but losing our ability to know what we actually know. The Dunning-Kruger Effect is dead. And we're all standing on Mount Stupid together now.

Midwest emo was never supposed to survive adulthood. Yet here we are, the same kids who found American Football in college town record stores, now listening again in the driveway while our kids unload backpacks. This is music that grows up with you.

"You can't manage what you can't measure." You've heard it a million times, right? Except Peter Drucker never actually said it. And the sentiment is kind of backwards anyway. Here's what I think is actually true for leaders: You can't manage what you don't mention. If you're not willing to have awkward, uncomfortable conversations with the people you lead, you're not managing them. You're just hoping they'll figure it out on their own. And hope isn't a strategy. In this post, I break down why small coaching moments prevent big cultural problems, and how avoiding feedback isn't kindness. It's neglect in a nicer package.

When my brother refused my gift of premium French brandy in favor of his usual E&J, I thought he was settling for less. Instead, he taught me a profound lesson about joy: sometimes, not knowing what you're missing is the greatest luxury of all. Through grocery store sushi runs with my son and surprising wisdom from Zimbabwe's drinking culture, I discovered how our endless pursuit of "better" might actually be diminishing our capacity for contentment.
