The speed of the leader equals the speed of the team

The 42nd state of America and its citizens continue to set trends. It’s even better when it organically manifest’s you into the actual experience. As the entire West Coast increased its holiday restrictions recently until mid-December behaviors are surely changing at this pace.

Earlier in the spring, I made an essential drive-thru run for Starbucks. When I went to pay, the barista shared that the car before mine actually bought my grande Flat White and warmed slice of Banana bread.

The original Starbucks was founded in Washington over 50 years ago in Pikes Place Market. One of the oldest continuously operated public farmers’ markets in the United States. Exactly 42 miles from where I currently reside.

Will holiday flyers pay it backward also?

More than 3 million Americans are traveling through airports this holiday season. Defying advice from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
