You know that feeling when you walk into a room full of strangers and suddenly spot someone who gets it—the one who can hold a real conversation without it turning into small talk?

Hey there, picture this: It’s a Monday morning, and you’re sipping your coffee when an email hits your inbox about a potential issue in the supply chain—maybe some discrepancies in inventory that don’t add up.

Hey there, let me take you back to a time when I was scrolling through health articles late at night, worried about a nagging backache that just wouldn’t quit.

Picture this: It’s the summer of 2018, and my wife and I are finally taking our two kids—then ages 6 and 9—on that dream Disney World trip we’d been saving for. We’d splurged on park hopper tickets, character dinners, and a suite at one of those swanky resorts. But on day two, our youngest spikes…
