At points in each of our lives we have our own dark nights where we feel trapped in the proverbial pit without the ability to escape.

As much as we would all love to be Aragorn, Legolas, or Gandalf in LOTR, if we are being honest with ourselves, we are probably more like Bilbo. We love to find a comfortable spot and make a life for ourselves in it for as long as the world will allow. Enter the Unexpected Journey. Like Bilbo, we all need a journey to draw us into the discomfort th…

We all wish we could lead like Gandalf, but how could we ever become that magnanimous and how do we contribute to a better world when there aren't orcs and dragons to fight?

Whether its a stagnant job or a repetitive personal life, we can find ourselves lacking joy and hope, trapped in a closed loop without meaningful disruptions.

In part 1 of Casablanca we worked out how to identify a Casablanca, aka a closed loop insulated environment where hope goes to die. In part 2 we look to the examples of magnanimous leaders to see how they engineer an escape from Casablanca and in doing so break the closed loop for the good of those around them. When we find ourselves in a Casablanc…

You don't have to look much further than your immediate group of friends or acquaintances each day to find people who are lacking in hope, without a cause to believe in.

Whether we find ourselves just starting out in a new role, as new parents, or on another journey, the scope of the world that we understand is never enough for our liking.

One of the reasons we love Beauty and the Beast is because we can relate to Belle. We all want to be a part of something bigger than "this provincial life".

Salute mi Familia - the most recognizable line in the Fast and Furious franchise.

When we enter a new ecosystem, like Pandora, with new rules, players, functions, etc. It can be a rude awakening that our maps of reality are utterly insufficient to navigate this new terrain.
