“I’ve lived my life in situations where I’ve come from nonexistent or last and been able to find my way.”
Barry Diller
[My views are my own]
I’ve dedicated the past decade of my life to helping companies pivot, reposition, return to growth . . . and make a comeback.
Given the power of disruptive innovation in the global economy, which I wrote about here and here, there is a nearly endless supply of new and interesting challenges.
For me . . . the comeback is not just a job . . . it’s a deeply ingrained philosophy.
I believe that the key to a life well lived is to strive and reach for more (like a child learning to walk) . . .
. . . to experience painful failures along the way . . .
. . . and to learn from those painful failures.
When I look at everything I’ve learned over the past 50 years, it’s a continuous string of thousands of mini (and some not so mini) comebacks.

Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years.
I just love a good comeback story. Always have.
I just pack them away in my subconscious.
I remember the 1981 playoff game when Richard Todd (with cracked ribs and a twisted ankle) led the Jets to a 16 to 15 win in the final seconds of the game.

I can still feel the emotion of it.
