I have repeatedly said that as thought leaders and experts in our fields, we should be quoting ourselves, and often. In January 2013, I committed to post weekly newsletters and over five years later, without missing a week, I’ve accomplished that including today’s, 291st posting. Last July 2017, I pledged to publish my daily quotes , five days a week, and I am proud to say that exactly a year later I just wrote and posted number 255!

Emma Innocenti/Getty Images. Um. Ah. So. You Know. Like. Right? Well. When we find ourselves rattled while speaking — whether we’re nervous, distracted, or at a loss for what comes next — it’s easy to lean on filler words.

When we think of innovation we think of the technology industry, don’t we? We tend to think of disrupters like Amazon, Google, Netflix, and others. Or perhaps the company that started SaaS (Software as a Service), which has permeated into way too many industries and businesses. It seems almost every time I look at some service they want a subscription; from wine clubs to every software possible, to maintenance agreements, and more.

Here’s a simple hierarchy: The self-driving car. Cruise control. Manual driving. Hitchhiking. Bicycling. Walking. The arc? As you move down the list, it gets harder and harder to coast.
