“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of an old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.” – Winston Churchill

Every day, a new headline shocks us. Panic sets in, outrage erupts, and uncertainty dominates nearly every conversation. Maybe we’ve always lived in an era of uncertainty, but today, it feels especially dramatic—and not very solutions-oriented.

AI is either the biggest productivity unlock of our lifetime or an existential threat, depending on who you ask. Political turbulence pulls focus in every direction, seemingly every hour. And the broader economic and global landscape? Constant speculation, endless narratives, and a deep-seated worry about what’s next.

When I started my career in sales, change was constant. People were fired, promoted, relocated— my organization was in constant flux (by design). One of my mentors told me to read Who Moved My Cheese?—a short, powerful book about navigating change, embracing uncertainty, and choosing action over fear. Some people sit and complain that their “cheese” is gone. Others move forward, adapt, and create new opportunities.

• AI? It’s the new cheese—those who embrace it will thrive, those who resist will be left behind.

• Politics? Leaders who wait for stability before making moves will always be playing catch-up.

• The future? It’s written by those willing to explore new corridors—not those standing still.

The best leaders operate from a mindset of anticipation, not anxiety. We don’t ignore challenges, but we don’t let them paralyze us either. Instead, we focus on execution, growth, and the small, compounding improvements that create real impact.

Worry less. Adapt faster. Move the cheese yourself.
