I treated every insight the same.

Same weight.

Same depth.

Same life-altering impact.

It didn’t.

It doesn’t.

Some things are meant to be tasted.

Others to be shared.

By the grace of theboss,

a rare few require me

to reorient the ground I stand on.

That’s why I started thinking in tools.

Not tools for solving.

Tools for filtering.

For making truth usable.

Spoons.

Shovels.

Bulldozers.

Each one has a place.

Each one has a purpose.

Each one has a price.

Spoons uncover.

They’re small.

They provide me nourishment.

They help me piece by piece.

They’re designed for working in solitude

when I’m working on me.

Shovels discover.

They’re shared.

They provide us leverage.

They help us move together.

They’re designed for working in a group

when two or more align as one.

Bulldozers discard.

They’re heavy.

They provide clearance.

They help reshape what fits.

They’re designed for working in aligned systems

when teams of teams orient together.

The tool isn’t the insight.

The tool is what makes the insight usable.
