Did you see that 60 Minutes story about the tequila heist? It caught Mary's attention partly because, well, tequila. But mostly because of how the thieves pulled it off. They didn’t break into a warehouse or hijack a truck on the highway. They used fake digital “paperwork,” much like they do for wire fraud.

In today's blog, Mary draws parallels between the two schemes. Check it out: www.octoberresearch.com/tuesdays-with-mary-when-the-tequila-disappeared.

Bobbi Brown reminds us that reinvention doesn’t have an age limit. Leadership isn’t always about authority; it’s about resilience, vision, and the bravery to do it anyway. And sometimes, it’s about building something new just when the world might expect you to slow down, or go away.

Read about Bobbi's story in our latest blog: www.octoberresearch.com/tuesdays-with-mary-reinvention-courage-and-the-power-of-doing-it-anyway.

While driving across the plains on her way to visit her mom, Mary drew the comparison that relationships, like fields, reward us when we look for what has grown, not just what got in the way.
