How old do you think Madonna is? FIFTY! Yep, she was born in 1958... and she still does her shows wearing basically her underwear. And she still looks... well she looks like Madonna. I've been laid up all week with a bad back. I hate being stuck, unable to do anything. I'm not a very good patient... ask my wife. In planting TheBOD I think about age a lot as well. I keep trying to figure out when I will become irrelevant. How old is too old to be able to connect with the next generation? At what point will I lose it? So far I've come to the conclusion that it's not the years it's the heart. It's the passion. It's the willingness to grow and change. It's flexibility in methods. It's a willingness to pass the baton to the next generation and let them run. Although you won't see me doing my thing in my underwear any time soon, you can expect that as long as I'm at the wheel we will aggressively move forward, doing everything we can to impact the world around us in a relevant way. Sometimes it will be uncomfortable, although not as uncomfortable as me running around in my underwear, but still it will challenge our thinking... and that's OK... no better than OK, it's right! DON'T BLINK!
