Joe's Friday Update

(Updated January 30th, 2026, from home in La Seu d'Urgell, Catalunya)

A few items for this week...

Friction & Flow

I see a lot of noise in our world about how much more "flow" all of us would have if friction could just be eliminated. So, I found a creative way to share my experience with this topic... AND continue highlighting the beautiful winter under way here in Catalunya.

PODCAST--> Fascination For The Process: Wisdom From My Coach

This last-minute entry into today's update prompted me to create this page. While driving to the snow yesterday, I listened to a podcast with my first canoe coach, Bill Endicott, now 80 years-old and one of the legendary leaders of our sport. Although this is a podcast about canoeing, you don't have to know the ins and outs of the sport to appreciate the conversation as Bill's stories, perspectives, and adventures are both enlightening and timeless. In fact, as you will hear, in addition to Olympic sport, Bill has excelled at the highest levels of military and politics too.

As all of you have worked or are currently working with me, you will find Bill's coaching spirit very familiar. (I am taking you to the origin story!) Please enjoy some wisdom and guidance from Bill via Apple Podcast --> HERE.

I'll probably be back to video next week but will use this page in the future when there are multiple links to share.

With gratitude, Joe
