CRAIG’S LIST (stuff I’m reading or listening to)

Be Humble, and Proudly, Psychologists Say, by Benedict Carey, NY Times. “Humility is not the boldest of personality traits, but it’s an important one, studies find. And it’s hard to fake.” Not so ironically, I have found that humble Coaches are the best coaches.
Underground Playground Podcasts #Listen Up #29 with Craig Howard & Brian Strump (yes, there is irony in posting this AFTER the above article). I was invited on to talk about the 10 year Affiliate Reunion and my experience there. Brian is another 10+ year affiliate owner who also attended. The podcast hosts are a little crude and cynical, but they’re OGs. I was able to make my points about the value of the gathering, and the value of the Open and the Games for CF Affiliates.
