A friend reached out on messenger yesterday to share some good news: he’s had a dream of teaching a class at his alma mater, and as of today, he confirmed as an adjunct, for a one year class, on corporate real estate asset management. I’m respecting his anonymity. But it made my day because the guy pivoted his career, focused on doing something bigger than himself, set a new goal (professorship) and pursued it vigorously for four years. #iamgrateful and #iamthankful for stories like this. They are motivating and inspiring. Humbling and reorienting. Good things happening to good people? I can never hear enough of those stories. Ever. #iamgrateful and #iamthankful too because the second he said “Corporate Real Estate Asset Management” I asked him if he’d use a Wu Tang song to kick off every class (C.R.E.A.M. amirite?)
