Some things are more important than football—sometimes even your favorite team.

Over the years I’ve faced those moments: holidays that clash with finals, big games I care about, and friends asking for my attention.

In 2019, I even joked at an event: “We have two religions—Judaism and sport—what do we do when they clash?” 

The answer? 

Set boundaries. Prioritize. Stay true to yourself.

Knowing when to put your phone down and focus on what truly matters is the real win.

A friend who observes the Sabbath said something to me recently that hasn't left my head:

"A day without the phone is better than a holiday with it."

No notifications. No scrolling. No half-presence while your mind is somewhere else. Just one day, fully here.

We spend so much

The biggest mistake in succession planning?

Assuming the baton can be handed off when the time comes.

Great transitions happen long before the handoff.
