A New Beginning for Morning Minute Musings

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had a lot on my mind, especially in the professional space, and I felt a strong pull to share some of those thoughts publicly. After sitting with that feeling, I realized that I already had a format that could hold this kind of reflection: Morning Minute Musings.

For those who may not know, Morning Minute Musings began in May 2020, when I had just started a new job and the world had suddenly shut down. With in-person gatherings, meetings, and networking all gone, I started recording and publishing short daily videos as a way to share ideas, insights, and a sense of connection during a profoundly isolating time. Over the course of 2020 and 2021, that series became both a creative outlet and a professional lifeline.

I continued publishing them into 2022, and even a bit into 2023. But as the pandemic formally receded and my professional life shifted into a new, more settled phase, the original series gradually wound down. In total, I ended up creating more than 200 of these brief reflections while in that professional position.

Lately, though, I’ve found myself once again wanting a space to think out loud. There are ideas, questions, and professional reflections I want to explore, but they don’t quite fit inside the frame of those earlier videos. They’re related in spirit, but not in context. And so, rather than trying to squeeze something new into an old container, I decided to start a new one.

This is why I’ve launched Morning Minute Musings, Volume 2.

Last week I released the first three videos in this new volume, and I plan to continue publishing them across multiple platforms, including YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. While the format may look familiar—short, reflective, and personal—the focus is different. These are grounded in where I am now, not where I was in 2020.

If you followed the original series, I’m grateful. If you’re discovering it for the first time, welcome. Either way, I hope this new chapter offers something thoughtful, useful, or at least a moment of pause in your day.
