Highlights: Setting everything up the night before made getting up and out to Jikoji relatively easy. I even got a quick shower in. Zarin wasa challenge. I've not been as focused as being onsite requires when joining via Zoom. It was a reminder of my need/desire to clear distractions. The morning meeting ran LONG but I appreciated all of the dialog isossiors and planning, I made it out just in time to meet Marlin at Taba Taba Chinese Bistro in Los Gatos. It's a true "hole in the wall" tucked to the side of Main St Burgers. The conversation was broad and left me feeling grateful that we have stayed in touch. The afternoon was spent acting on some action items. Ten madness an awesome tip and we went to see "The Maltese Falcon" at the Stanford as they kicks off their "Film Noir Festival.

A lack of confidence in my skill and readiness to be a qualified professional and focused consultantans advisor. Yet I can and already am doing this. Daily. With my family and friends. The self-doubt is an outdated and unproductive mindset that has failed me repeatedly. Abdicating potential as a way to avoid the disappointment of failure while inaction itself is absolute failure.
