"𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 - - 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀." - - Serena Williams Some of the best Good News from this week: seeing history being made, with one of the most iconic athletes of all time making one of her final runs at a U.S. Open. Now, I'll be the first to say that I've never been much of a tennis fan, but like millions around the world, I'm so drawn to the incredible story and talent that is Serena Williams. Serena has overcome all sorts of challenges in her illustrious career, only to go on to win 23 Grand Slam singles titles, which is the most by any player in the Open Era. And she's only ONE title away from tying the mark for most of all time. Serena plays her 3rd round match tonight at 7pm ET - - and I might have to watch a live tennis match for the first time in years! I think her quote at the top is a point of view that transcends every aspect of life. I know that some of my most important lessons learned in my own journey have come from mistakes & failures. Moving right along, may I brag on our Supply Chain Now team just a bit? 💪 We are approaching SCN podcast episode #1,000 in a few weeks.
