The Mountains Near the Oracle at Delphi, Greece | Jeb Brooks

I’m leaving for Russia on Monday. That means three things.

  1. This website might not be updated next week;
  2. Hopefully I’ll get some cool photos to add; and
  3. According to that fortune cookie message, I’ll be “great[ly] transform[ed]“

Traveling is something I’ve missed a lot over the last few years — I’ve been tied to Greensboro (a/k/a the BEST city on the face of the planet!) In any event, having the opportunity to explore new places has always been important to me. And I have been fortunate to travel far and wide. But on Monday, I’m trying something totally new: A trip to Moscow, Russia. It’s the first time I’ve been that far East (or is it West by that point?). Anyway, I’ll be attending — and presenting at — a conference and hope to share some and learn a whole lot more.

Since finishing my J.D., I’ve had an incredible ride working at TBG. It’s been a lot of fun working in and on our business. And this is another step in that direction. We’re making this trip because, as part of our Strategic Plan, we’ve decided to focus on our global reach.

I’m excited about travel because it does have the potential to lead to great transformation. However, that can only happen if you allow it to. These days, it’s easy to travel someplace and avoid the new and transformative experiences. There are, for example, 235 McDonald’s Restaurants in Russia. I’ll try to avoid them and experience new things, instead.

So, here’s to an 11 hour flight, new experiences, new friends, (and a bit of vodka)!

An unidentified bend in the Mississippi from an unremembered trip. I recall taking this picture from a hotel window. But that's it. Might have been New Orleans. Might have been Minneapolis. I just don't recall. | Jeb Brooks
