Workshop Wednesday

Okay team, here we are again. We’re just about halfway through the first month, and I came across a quote that really got me thinking. It’s poetic in a way—let me share it with you, and then we’ll unpack it together. “Nothing in nature lives for itself.” It’s a powerful statement. Let’s explore it further:…

Hey team. All right, here we are, and it’s Wednesday. Wednesday, we love to do a little workshop and talk about some of the important stuff. It’s cool that January is upon us, and we’re entering our 25th year. So many cool things are taking place. I read this little quote. I think it’s kind…

Hey team. All right, so here we are. Guess what? Today is the first day of 2025! Can you believe it? Let me be the first to congratulate everybody—Happy New Year! Well, I’m probably not the first. You were probably at a party last night or working last night, and somebody else said it to…

Here we are. It is Christmas Day! I don’t know about you, but for the Withrow family, today is the day where things maybe slow down just a tiny bit. Yes, the boys will be opening their presents. It will be a flurry of paper, bows, bags, and boxes to some degree. But Karen and…

Hey Team! Here we are again. It’s the 18th, and it’s a Wednesday workshop. I’ve got some things I want to say, but first, I want to congratulate all of you. We had our Christmas party in Longview last week, and today, we have our Christmas party here in Portland. We’re going to be giving…

Hey team! Here we are, in December, enjoying the holiday season with parties and celebrations. Today, I’m dressed for a party we’re hosting in Longview. Merry Christmas, Longview! We’re excited to join you with white elephant gifts, turkey, and lots of fun. Next Wednesday, we’ll be celebrating in Portland. I’ll be in a different shirt,…

Hey Team,here we are again! It’s good to be with you. I wanted to share a little quote from Aristotle. For those of you who don’t know, he said: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Excellence is not an act but a habit. I talk about…

Hey team. Here we are. I wanted to chat with you for a minute. I saw this quote. It was on Facebook or something like that. I get a lot of them, probably because my feed tells me so. I don’t want to get into quantum mechanics and how the algorithms of social media work—like…

Hey Team! Thanksgiving is just around the corner. For this Wednesday, I wanted to talk to you about something I’ve mentioned before but feel is really important. Some of you might notice the scene behind me—no, I am not in a tropical environment, though I wish I was! When we get to this time of…

Hey team! All right, here we are again. It’s a wonderful week, and I wanted to read you a quote by a man named Miles Monroe. He passed away a few years ago. He was a leadership expert with a lot of experience. And he talked a lot about purpose and people’s lives when it…
