“controlling these fires on the West Coast is very doable”. 🧐 Yes, this is often the case with 98% of the wildfires that start, we can extinguish. What people loathe the most is large scale, long duration wildfires that threaten and destroy life and property and cause serious health impacts to firefighters and the public. This is not going away anytime soon. All predictions point to a hotter drier world capable of more deadly and destructive wildfires worldwide. And here we are trying to put more money and more resources trying to achieve that impossible 100% wildfire extinguishment. In reality we need to invest in PEOPLE as land stewards to provide this next generation with essential training/education, housing and good jobs/careers in Natural Resource Management. Everything from sustainable forestry practices, to non-merchantable wood product utilization, it all begins and ends with investing in PEOPLE. Hopefully this is a legacy the wealthy Baby Boomer generation can look back on some day and feel proud they invested in PEOPLE who made a difference in this world.

A few proud comments about my company: There are a lot of companies that offer software as a service products to health plans… but to the best of my knowledge, Beacon Healthcare Systems is the example where the core of the company and all of the initial products werecompliance. They foundational focus on compliancechanges everything we do, from a deep focus on data lineage built into the software, to our sensitivity to our clients compliance controls needs now, as well as over the next years. If you’re doing an RFP or RFI, or maybe you’re just a bit unhappy with your current solution and would like to take a look at something different…you owe it to yourself to take a quick look at the products from Beacon Healthcare Systems… Truly differentiated.

It's Friday, let's go with FiredUpFridays! Here are the three things I'm heated over: 1. March Madness has arrived! On the women's side, my Utes were taken down by a Gonzaga team that couldn't be stopped from the 3-point line. They went 54.5% from downtown. We went 26.5%. That's interesting because WE, the Utah Utes, are usually the team that can't be stopped from beyond the arc. This reminds me, we can't always be one-dimensional. When life, work, or daily challenges arise, are we well-equipped to deviate from the original "game plan" and pivot to something more productive for the moment? A respectful single flame for healthy and elite competition 🔥! 2. I'm officially a Utah Royals season-ticket holder. Welcome back to Utah, Royals! While we lost the home-opener to the Chicago Red Stars, we won in spirit and support. The game was sold out, and so were the fans to the team, players, game, and community. Ohhh, AND, we did pick up our first W at home (and for the season) in our second game against the North Carolina Courage. Blazing return to Royalty 🔥🔥! 3. This week I was able to attend a workshop that brought together many different nursing departments and leaders from across University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics system. It's amazing what happens when you sit in the same room with other peers who are passionate, inspired, intelligent, creative, and supportive! It reminds me, why do we have to wait for an event to take place for magic to spark and change to happen? Why aren't we spending regular, daily time getting in front of one another...REALLY hearing what others are doing and accomplishing...AUTHENTICALLY celebrating wins...TRULY exploring big and small ideas over coffee...RESPECTFULLY challenging each other's assumptions...INTENTIONALLY encouraging steps and plights? We don't have to schedule when we will be exceptional colleagues and friends. Instead, we can live exceptionally by consistently showing up more fully and presently for our peers in all that we do. Combusting with simplicity 🔥🔥🔥!

What is interesting from a Product Management perspective is how Harley seems to have held onto an old narrative which can't I believe be explained away by CPI, or interest rates. From what I've hear from those who ride and what I have read, technology innovation, especially amongst foreign bike has outpaced Harley. “They’re appealing to a very aged demographic that’s buying fewer and fewer bikes instead of appealing to millennials or Gen Zs,” he said." Zeitz blames the continuing sales decline on high interest rates and a tough environment for premium consumer goods, not a generational divide. Riders 35 and younger make up a fourth of new Harley customers, he said, and the company’s research shows the desirability of its bikes is increasing. https://lnkd.in/emHzv-Se #productmanagement #demographics #marketing
