Story of a Marriage: 50 Years of Christmas Love Letters by Jim McCormickThis story of a marriage is not fiction—it is beautifully real. For their very first Christmas together, Jim took pen in hand and poured out his deepest feelings of love to his new wife, Marilyn. She wept as she read his words and made him promise to write such a love letter every Christmas for the rest of their lives. And he did. For fifty years, through all the seasons of a marriage both tender and turbulent, Jim kept his promise. Philosophical, poetic, and deeply insightful, these private letters reflect the joys and struggles that every marriage faces. Year after year, they became a powerful chronicle of a committed, sometimes challenged, but always enduring love—a rare and moving documentation of a lifelong relationship. After Marilyn's passing, just months after their fiftieth anniversary, Jim discovered all the precious letters he had written to her. His final letter, composed in grief the Christmas after her death, is an exquisite blend of sorrow and hope—heartbreaking yet profoundly uplifting. An inspiration to young lovers and to partners weathering life's storms, this collection is a testament to the enduring power of loveJim McCormick is a retired lawyer who served as a judge in Michigan for most of his career. After several trips to the Middle East and extensive research, he published Jerusalem and the Holy Land: The First Ecumenical Pilgrim's Guide. He has also written a number of short stories, many inspired by his own life experiences. He and his beloved wife, Marilyn—a high school English teacher—raised three wonderful children together.https://www.amazon.com/Story-Marriage-Years-Christmas-Letters/dp/B0FH416SP2/ref=monarch_sidesheet_titlehttps://jimmccormick-author.com/https://www.primixpublishing.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/92525jmlp.mp3

In business and in life, the most dangerous risk you can take is avoiding risk altogether. Whether it's leading a team, making strategic investments, or navigating unpredictable markets, risk is always present, yet most leaders misunderstand how to harness it. In this episode, Jim McCormick, best-selling author (The First Time Manager, The Power of Risk) and founder of the Research Institute of Risk Intelligence, shares lessons from 5,590 skydives, high-stakes political decision-making, and years of advising executives on building “risk intelligent” organizations. He breaks down why people are naturally risk-averse, the two-part “Risk Equation” leaders must master, and how to balance instigators and mitigators for optimal decision-making. You'll learn how to assess opportunities using ideal, most likely, and worst-case scenarios, implement “Possibility of Success Enhancement Measures” (POSSUMS) to improve outcomes, and set guardrails that encourage innovation without micromanagement. Jim also explores how to measure personal and team Risk Quotients, create cultures that reward constructive risk-taking—even when initiatives fail—and avoid the trap of over-relying on AI for critical decisions.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
