You guys are my last hope for the day. Do you have anything relevant I can use? Yes, it’s true. But … That’s it? WTF?
“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”

Hi and welcome to Thursday’s Episode 157 in the first season of “My 1-Year Natural Experiment” on this 20th day of January in winter of 2020.
Context
Earlier in the week I pulled together email addresses of executives I had recruited to the Executive to Executive Mentoring Program I’d been managing for roughly the last decade, and for the hundreds of proteges I advised and matched with those mentors.
Here’s the early stages of my personalized, yet mass broadcast.
It seems like it’s been forever since our paths crossed. Did you graduate in 2011 or 2012, sometime around there, right?
I kind of keep people sorted in my memory by buildings and I picture you in classrooms in MPAA and at lunch in the Executive Commons.
Didn’t you work for Printronix when you started the program?
You seemed to be on a bleeding edge start up / entrepreneurial track from what I can remember.
What kinds of projects are your involved in now?
Are you’re in Orange County still?
Hopefully, you found your niche and found what you were looking for.
Have a great new year.
I intended to work through several iterations and build an audience organically.
Evidence
Hey Steves, got any Holiday Tau to inspire me with TauBits of Wisdom?
That’s it? WTF?
“2” Steve Zahn, 51: “If you don’t have one, then this is the day to establish one (and only one) spots for your keys, wallet and phone.” Scorpio
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
That was a total bust. Oh, too bad G&G’s Holiday Tau wasn’t Zahn’s. Doesn’t matter that much though. I can still take it to heart. Schemes-R-Us. Yup, plotting and planning are great, but managing something in action are even better. Thanks!

What say you, Steves?
Nope, not today.
“2” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Your capacity for self-directedness is strong and getting stronger every time you do what you tell yourself to do.” Aries
True, but not what I need today.
“2” Steve Winwood, 71; Stevie Wonder, 69: “Good people don’t need other people to say they’re good. It’s self-given, self-upheld and self-defined.” Taurus
Yeah, sure you betcha, but not today.
“2” Steve Smith, 30: “There are many ways to capture in your heart the life inside of life — reading a book, dancing, driving to nowhere in particular, etc.” Gemini
Fine, I get it, but I’ll skip your Holiday Tau today.
“2” Steve Howey, 42 : “You’re a fountain of solutions, for yourself, your loved ones and the world. Focus on the solutions that are for you.” Cancer
You guys are my last hope for the day. Do you have anything relevant I can use? Yes, it’s true. But …
“4” Steve Carell, 57; Steve Martin, 74; Steve Wozniak, 69: “The habit of collecting your thoughts isn’t just for moments of anger of passion. You’re at your best after you’ve checked in with your thoughts, so do it often.” Leo
