The CK Daily – A Moment of Reflection and Thanks
Happy Thursday!
This has been a weird week. Monday felt like a Wednesday, Tuesday felt like a Monday, and I am not even sure what today feels like. Ever had one of those weeks? It has been a very productive week, but I have just felt so scattered, not just at work but personally, as well.
I was thinking back on when we first started the CK Daily (back then, it was the CEO Daily coming from Craig) during the time when Covid started. It is crazy to think we have been doing this daily email for almost three years. Being involved with it from the very beginning, it has been awesome getting to share part of our lives with each of you and hearing back from all of you on the daily topics for that long. (We love when you respond to these emails!) I feel like I have gotten to know several of you, who I never would have met, very well over that time. It has been a joy!
I guess I am being reflective and mentioning all of that since this will be my last CK Daily. CK has been a family to me for the almost 10 years I have been with the business and all of you have become an extended family during that time. (You probably have heard more from me than some of my real family! Haha!) It has been an absolute joy getting to “do life” with all of you and share my thoughts and heart (and sometimes complete randomness) weekly. So, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your week every week.
I hope all of you have an awesome rest of your day and week!
Until next time,
Jason
