Mobile Radio Simplified. Accessible. Relevant.

Industry. Product. Market. Culture. Meaning.

When you get fully buried in the adult life of keeping your promises to family, friends and clients as a husband, father and entrepreneur, it is easy to let the myriad tasks at hand take over your life. In my case these last few months, they have even taken over my personality. Knowing the industry, building a product and awakening a new market present a huge and exciting challenge to me as we work together to introduce the world to CelleCast. In your case, if you, like me have found yourself overabsorbed and in need of a break, I first encourage you to take a great vacation this Summer and recharge.

As noble and exciting as our pursuits are, there are higher pursuits that need to be talked about and celebrated. Without them, we can lose our sense of ultimate life purpose. Especially today, as the speed of life continues to accelerate for those of us in technology innovation, social media, etc. We are seeing hot investment bubbles grow and pop at an increasing rate all around us. If we get too caught up in these things, and sink our trust into ideas and trends that are built on less established prior trends, we can lose more than a business edge. We can lose an identity edge.

I say this thankfully as a guy fortunate enough to indeed have a transcendent life purpose. Win or lose with CelleCast, I know my contribution in life will be more inline with advancing culture and highlighting life’s meaning. I am very fortunate. For me, business success is merely a means to a higher end, that I discuss on my personal blog. I don’t say this to self-promote, but to open up more with our readers here, whether they be contacts in media, cellecast users, mobilephiles or friends. As I am about to embark on a trip to India with my wife, I find myself this year being whisked to a new level of being pulled from all sides, and all I can say is that I am grateful to be able to choose to pull back from the tasks at hand and spend time on life’s larger issues.

As I watched some great tributes to Tony Snow this morning, I realized that no matter how busy we get, there need never be a shortage of kindness and gratitude to those around us. Tony exemplified that, and even in a high stress job, he influenced people on a level that cannot be attributed to talent and drive. It happened on a higher, more human level, that I can only aspire to. I have wonderful, amazing and talented people all around me, helping to make great success a reality. To each of you, a sincere thank you.
