"One afternoon in the fall of 2015, while I was writing this book, I was driving in my car and listening to SiriusXM Radio. On the folk music station the Coffee House, a song came on with a verse that directly spoke to me--so much so that I pulled off the road as soon as I could and wrote down the lyrics and the singer's name. The song was called "The Eye," and it's written by the country-folk singer Brandi Carlile and her bandmate Tim Hanseroth and sung by Carlile. I wish it could play every time you open these pages, like a Hallmark birthday card, because it's become the theme song of this book. The main refrain is: I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you're standing in the eye. I hope that it is clear by now that every day going forward we're going to be asked to dance in a hurricane, set off by the accelerations in the Market, Mother Nature, and Moore's law. Some politicians propose to build a wall against this hurricane. That is a fool's errand. There is only one way to thrive now, and it's by finding and creating your own eye. The eye of a hurricane moves, along with the storm. It draws energy from it, while creating a sanctuary of stability inside it. It is both dynamic and stable--and so must we be. We can't escape these accelerations. We have to dive into them, take advantage of their energy and flows where possible, move with them, use them to learn faster, design smarter, and collaborate deeper--all so we can build our own eyes to anchor and propel ourselves and our families confidently forward."
