Life Lessons from Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso was born during the pandemic lockdown when the whole world needed something good. If you’re never watched an episode, Ted Lasso is the story of a Kansas football coach who moved across the ocean to manage a Premiere League soccer team, and slowly won over the players, owner, and fans with nothing more than his heart. He knew nothing about soccer, and he didn’t care about winning matches. He just wanted to help his players become better versions of themselves.

As I laughed, and even cried, through the series finale this morning, I appreciated that we got to have Ted in our lives for the last three years, and I’ll miss him.

The Search for a Mentor, Pt. 1

Searching for a mentor doesn’t have to be as challenging as sticking to that New Year’s resolution to stop drinking wine or start training for a triathlon (these are not, and never have been, on my list of resolutions). And like most things in our modern world, there’s an app for that.
