This is the dedication from Strong Ground. I’m sharing it today to say thank you to so many of you who are leading wholeheartedly in the office, the classroom, on the pitch, in the studio, or in your own community. ❤️

So many of us wake up in the morning feeling overwhelmed by a world where bluster, hubris, and even cruelty are normalized and sold as a form of leadership. Before our feet hit the floor, we’re on our phones witnessing the consequences of misused power and the cost to humanity extracted by leaders who believe they should be served by others rather than being of service to others.

I recognize that choosing courage, discipline, and kindness can feel impossible and increasingly vulnerable in a time when even empathy has been vilified. I understand that fostering care, connection, and belonging in our organizations seems downright subversive.

But I have hope. In my work I get to see people who have not given up on their values and what it means to lead while honoring what it means to be human. They’re listening, staying curious, and creating cultures of accountability. I see leaders who understand that performance and impact increase when people feel seen, heard, and respected. I see people who are willing to do the work necessary to understand themselves and to build connection and trust with others.

Thank you to everyone choosing to brave with your lives, your love, and your work. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. Thank you for finding your strong ground and becoming our strong ground. ❤️, BB

“Being wrong is part of being a scientist. We’re wrong all the time. One of the jokes that I use all the time, but it’s not a joke, it’s really true, is when we got to the point of trying to identify this gene, we had 20 possible genes it could be. I prioritised those genes. The gene that was responsible was the last gene, which means I could not have been more wrong in my prioritisation. It’s absolutely the most wrong thing I could have done. We got it eventually, so it was still there, but it was because there was nothing left. It’s not because I was smart or had any foresight.”

In our official interview with medicine laureate Fred Ramsdell, he told us about the importance of handling failures and being persistent.
