Most people think a CEO's morning message is just another notification to swipe away: until they realize it’s the spark that reignites their sense of purpose for the day.
We are standing on the precipice of a monumental milestone. It is Friday, May 15, 2026. In just a matter of weeks, our nation will celebrate its 250th anniversary. The air is thick with anticipation, but if we’re being honest, it’s also thick with a bit of uncertainty. How do we honor two and a half centuries of history while navigating the complexities of modern life?
