Last week when the Browns played their first preseason game, my favorite moment was when Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi, a guy that walked on to the Browns camp uninvited (under strange circumstances) ran a kick back for a TD.  What a terrific underdog story. The entire Browns team ran after him and mobbed him with excitement.  That shows me the team is on the right track.  Football can be unique that way.  GO BROWNS!

Nick Anthony - One of my bosses  - I learn a lot, about a lot, being around him.

I saw, and believe still, in life and business, you play for the guys next to you, and hopefully you are around people of the same ilk.  If your skill set in life, and on the job is such that it elevates those around you, then you are in the right place, with the right people.  I have been lucky in much of my career to be around such.  And in my personal life as well   -   now more than ever.   To me, that's the mark of a good leader.

My Friends, Don, Tex, and Joe have made me better, on and off the course for over 30 years!

That doesn't mean you put yourself in the backseat, to the contrary. A job and life is a team sport, and if your gifts make others around you better, than everyone wins.  It's just that simple.  Those who choose to not reflect that many times end up isolated and in the long run, not as successful as they think they are. Elevating only yourself has a short shelf life in the grand scheme to things.  Life is a long journey, and it's better when team mates like you, respect you, and are glad you are around to raise them up, as they do you.
