The Illusion of Progress in Big Organizations

Posted on June 9, 2026April 27, 2026 By UPL Admin

There’s always something happening. Meetings stack on meetings. Reorgs reshuffle the same people into slightly different boxes. Strategy shifts get announced with new language, new decks, new urgency. From the outside, it looks like momentum. Inside, it often feels like motion without movement. You start to notice a pattern.

Recognition Is Free: So Why Is It So Rare?

If you have a bucket list, now is the time to check things off. You never know what tomorrow will bring. If you have ANY interest, or even considered reach out. You`ll have the best time of your life.

Stay Weird. It`s kind of a hipster vibe. Lots of new-age, white guys with man buns in Hawaiian shirts. J/K lots of middle aged white guys with their kids. Good times will be had by all... And Al. See what I did there 😎

Kind of a daddy daughter day. She wanted to race go karts. Did a really good job of blocking a middle aged white guy for most of the 2nd race. He was ticked. Then we had to go help a friend out and redo a horrible Spectrum install. Good help is hard to find. The tech did a really, really bad job. Then saw a double rainbow and took Emme, Oliver, Brandi, and Emme`s friend Kinsley out to dinner. Make every day and every moment count. 😎

Had to make a quick trip to Arkansas to take the side-by-side and bring the rhino back to Texas. Time to get the rhino ready for the desert. The tire tread looked a little weird. Thank you Discount Tire for a quick repair. Emme was my co-pilot for this adventure. She`s now 13. Where did time go?
