Jocko / Echo - Too many coincidences to let this pass but looking for you to read and talk about how Lincoln conducted business during the Civil War. This request originates from buying three books yesterday by happenstance: J Peterson principals, Man's Search for Meaning, and Carnegie's Influencing people. The first chapter of Carnegie concerned passing judgment, and it spoke about Lincoln. Fascinating stories if they are factual. I was not going to listen to the podcast today, but I did, and despite not wanting to get to the end, I am glad that I stuck with it and made some connections on judging. So, too many coincidences to not make the request, and yes, I now have a $5 bill on my dash board (This will become clear if you read the first chapter of Carnegie.). Thank you, dw.
