A goal that depends on someone else doing something is not a goal, it is a hope. That resonates powerfully.

Well said, Daniel. The word is quantifiable. Measurable. 20% pretax profits for the first time is quantifiable. Selling your small business at 5 times your pretax earnings is quantifiable. Retiring at age 67 with liquid assets of $4 million is quantifiable. Now celebrate and savor. And move on to the next one.

Glendronach is the whisky that introduced me to whisky. My wife and I were location scouting for our wedding, and she randomly picked this off the desert menu at a steakhouse. It was life changing. I had no idea whisky could taste like this. I heard they were closing back in... 2015? So I bought a case and a half of Glendronach 15. They may be some of the last bottles of the old distiller left on earth. I opened one with you today. I personally much prefer the 15 over the 12, but everything Glendronach is great. I have always said that Glendronach 21 is the best tasting money I've ever had. I get a bottle for my birthday most years. It brings a tear to my eye every time I get a bottle, and every time I drink from that bottle.

Sometimes, just sometimes, we are fortunate enough to succeed without having a goal. In 22 years as a US Navy Intelligence Officer, I honestly never had a goal I could write down, yet I had a wonderful and successful career. I absolutely loved my work and I was damn good at it. Did I go as far as I hoped, no, but can still hold my head high at not compromising the truth to tell someone in a higher position than I what they wanted to hear instead of the facts that were inconvenient to them. To those who need goals, good on you. For those of us who don't, let's simply celebrate life!

Fabulous message Daniel!! I do a lot to help others in life and I never acknowledge or celebrate my achievements! I need to!! You rock Daniel!! You are a wise awesome soul!! Hey this is a nice dram for a 12 year old scotch!! It’s not bad. Not my fave but there are some lovely favours and the price it’s a very. Good deal!! $80 Canadian before taxes!!! Now a dud is Loch alimony 12. Wowza. I tried it yesterday and wish I had skipped the LL 12 and chosen a better scotch, preferably Islay!!! Peat head here! It’s a very unappealing scotch. Fairly inexpensive for scotch but not even worth the $75 before taxes. Fabulous video!!

Goals... what is a goal? Clear - no ambiguity Defined - has specific levels of accomplishment Timed - has a specific begin and end date and time (Goals without specific time end points are not goals. They're dreams.) Purpose - a "why" as to the reason you want something accomplished Rewards - what's in it for you and at what specific points. WRITTEN DOWN - if your goal is not written down, you'll never achieve it because it allows latitude for shift. Set a goal. Create a plan to accomplish the goal including check points and level parameters. Work the plan. Evaluate your results. Adjust the plan. Work the plan. When you hit your accomplishment levels, reward yourself with the specific promised rewards.

Rachel Barrie and Brown Forman is correct. Glen Dronach is a good dram, but Brown Forman dropped the Non chill filtered designation off the label. And it went off the enthusiast list as a result.

Hey Daniel, curious if you’re aware in the blending world, if blends of new makes followed by aging is a thing anyone is doing. Do you see pros or mostly cons with that approach. Would you feel confident that a good blended new make would turn into what you wanted or is the unknown end product part of the magic of that sort of experimental process?

Not related to the video (sorry), but recently read an interview of a guy that served during WW II, who received a bottle of "the best bourbon available" as a reward for a particular task, but the bourbon itself wasn't named. Any idea what bourbon would fit that description, around 1944?
