One idea sits underneath everything here: you get strong by learning from and helping others. Strength is trained in private and spent in public. Self-mastery is the means. Service is the point.
A surname that is also a thesis.
My family name is Iesue. Most people read it as Issue. Said properly, it sounds like yes way.
An issue is what life hands you. The Yes-Way is what you do about it: affirm reality, choose responsibility, build the strength to serve, and keep walking the path.
Strength to serve. Service to grow.
What you will find here
The publication has five forms. Numbered Iesues are substantial, sourced essays that develop an enduring argument. Practical Notes turn an idea into something immediately usable. Seminar Notes frame a question for teaching and serious discussion. Case Notes examine a consequential decision in context. Marginalia records a compact, cited encounter with another thinker’s work.
Together they explore leadership, learning, entrepreneurship, organizational life, and the disciplines that make contribution possible.
