A close friend, who is highly accomplished, said to me recently, "I just don't know if I still have the same fire I used to have."   We were remembering those early-career years; the long nights, the hustle, the drive.   Now, with families, aging parents, and full lives, that same fire feels harder to find.   But maybe it's not gone.   Maybe it just needs a different kind of fuel.   I recorded an...
