This Week In Leadership: Jan 16, 2025 (The Fire Edition)
The Los Angeles fires devastated the lives of so many people. This issue is primarily about all things fire related. They are the things you need to know... This Week in Leadership.
What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.
- Charles Bukowski
I live in Los Angeles. My daughter goes to school in Pacific Palisades (her school is gone). My wife works in Pacific Palisades (her office is gone).
We live in Brentwood. We are not the ones who need your help and sympathy - there are thousands of others that do.
I’m dedicating this section this week to ways that you can support victims of the California fires.
