It is so easy to forget you have "enough." Here on Linkedin we're all in constant pursuit of MORE. More revenue! More pipeline! More customers! Success is often measured by whoever has makes the most dollars, raises the biggest round of funding, or has the biggest exit. In the pursuit of "more," it's easy to insulate ourselves from actual suffering. It's suffering that takes us out of the pursuit of "more," brings us back to reality, and helps us remember what's most important. Serving dinner to families at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area, Inc. was a great reminder that I have "enough." Right here in Salt Lake City, families spend every waking hour sitting at the bedsides of their children who are fighting to overcome scary diseases and medical struggles. These families are grateful for a warm meal, a kind smile, and another day of hope. Revenue, pipeline, exits—they all matter—but they will never represent "enough." What do you do to remind yourself you have enough? (I highly recommend signing up to serve these families. I can't think of many people who need it more.)

"As marketers, we have the power to reshape the narrative around hospice care. Too often, it’s misunderstood as just end-of-life care, but it’s so much more—it’s about dignity, comfort, and support for both patients and their families. Our role is to create campaigns that shift public perception, highlighting the true essence of hospice care as a compassionate and essential service. By telling these powerful stories, we can change how hospice care is viewed and advocate for the support and funding it deserves." Share your thoughts and let’s shift the dial on hospice care together. PS. This is Rae, she’s 6 and you can tell by her face she knows how important this is 🫶🏼
