A downside of having a team of mainly students is they eventually graduate. On the plus side, I get to see FIVE of my team get their hard-earned diplomas today. A sixth is getting his JD today as well but I get to keep him for his last PhD year. #commencement

Class of 2026, let’s take a cue from Jane Lynch—cornell alum, comedy legend, now sage speaker.
- Fear is a roadblock, not a guardrail.
- Embrace uncertainty as a catalyst for growth.
- New experiences shape the future you.

Stay curious, stay fearless, stay decentralized.

Trump’s Coast Guard Address: ‘Good Looking Men’ and Deja Vu

President Trump’s commencement address was a mixture of jokes and praise for the seafaring life of the Coast Guard graduates. But there were detours into choppy waters.
