Black History Month is quiet again this year. But of course, Black people keep making history, like Laila Edwards, the first Black woman on the U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team. She’s out there breaking ice. Bonus good vibe!

I remember the moment I broke my own rule.

This week, on the subway in New York, two men got in my car pulling a cooler full of food. They were offering meals to anyone who needed one. They were also collecting donations. And smiles, one of them said.

I kicked off the year with a session for a fully remote sales team, and it got deep.

For years, 5 Things has been my way of sharing proof that positive systemic change is happening every day, all over, if we look closely enough.
