Show Notes for Episode A048 with Tom Place

This week on Authbition, I sit down with Tom Place, co-owner of Outbound Lighting, for a conversation about bikes, business, career change, customer trust, and what happens when entrepreneurship is rooted in something deeper than growth at all costs.

This episode is a must-listen for aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners, product designers, career changers, and anyone who has ever had a great job but still felt something was missing.

Tom shares how he went from engineering, LEDs, Cree, and Industry Nine to helping build Outbound Lighting into a rider-focused company known for high-performance bike lights, thoughtful design, and unusually human customer support.

At the center of the conversation is a phrase from an Outbound Lighting Facebook post that caught my attention immediately:

Don’t be a dick.

Simple. Blunt. Funny. Also, maybe, a complete business strategy.

I recorded the opening for this episode at The Finger Lakes RV Resort, on the east side of Seneca Lake in New York.

That ended up feeling almost too perfect.

The resort is locally owned, bootstrapped, and run by good people doing the real work of small business. While I was recording the opening, one of the owners, Doug, passed by. He was collecting trash, cleaning up campsites, and doing what owners of real businesses actually do.

Doug also happens to be a mountain biker.

I didn’t know him before staying here. I met him at the campground, and we have gone mountain biking together a couple of times since. So there I was, recording an opening for a conversation with the co-owner of Outbound Lighting, while on the grounds of a locally owned bootstrapped business run in part by a mountain biker.

That is the episode.

Small business. Mountain biking. Human connection. People doing real work. Good work.

🗣️ The Podcast

The conversation opens with the Outbound Lighting marketing post that inspired me to reach out to Tom.

“Don’t be a dick.”

That line made me take a closer look at the company. Then I saw they were small, independent, and not private-equity backed. As someone who has spent a lot of time around entrepreneurship education, that stood out to me.

Too much of entrepreneurship is taught as: raise money, build fast, grow big, flip it, sell it.

Tom and I talk about why that model can miss the point.

Businesses need to make money. Of course they do. Making money is table stakes. But making money is not the reason a business exists. I compare it in the episode to breathing. I need to breathe to live, but I do not live to breathe.

Tom takes that idea and runs with it.

He talks about starting at NC State, working his way toward Cree, getting rejected before finally landing there, and eventually finding himself in a career that looked great from the outside. He loved the work. He was good at it. There was opportunity, upward mobility, and a clear path.

Then bikes and lights started pulling him in another direction.

He eventually took a huge pay cut to pursue an opportunity with Industry Nine. It looked like it might become the dream path: an established bike-industry brand, high-performance products, and a chance to build lights without having to build a whole company from scratch.

Six months later, the project was dead.

Tom says it plainly in the episode: he left a stable corporate job, took a chance, and fell flat on his face.

That moment gives the conversation its deeper career thread. This is not only a show about entrepreneurship. It is also about what happens when the dream job is real, but it still is not the whole dream.

From there, Tom shares how he eventually found Matt, the founder of Outbound Lighting, and how trust became the foundation of their working relationship. Early on, Matt paid Tom three times what they had agreed to because he believed Tom had brought more value than the contract captured.

That kind of moment just doesn’t happen in business.

For Tom, it mattered. It told him something about the person he was choosing to build with.

🧠 The Whole Mind Game

We did not formally play The Whole Mind Game in this episode, but the whole conversation lives inside a clear tension:

Growth at All Costs <> Sustainable Service

On one side is the familiar startup story: raise money, chase growth, scale fast, grab market share, and aim for an exit.

On the other side is something quieter and harder to measure: build something useful, treat people well, grow at a sustainable pace, support customers, take care of employees, and make decisions you can live with.

Tom does not pretend money is irrelevant. Outbound Lighting has to make money. They have employees, health insurance, production costs, seasonal sales cycles, and real business pressures.

But again and again, he returns to a different center of gravity.

What is the product for?
Who does it serve?
What happens when something breaks?
How do customers feel after interacting with the company?
What kind of business can they stand behind?

One of the strongest moments in the episode comes when Tom talks about the entrepreneurship coaching world being “lousy” with advice about growth, money, investors, and exits. When the product or service itself becomes almost irrelevant, he says, it is a good way to build a hollow brand, a hollow product, and a hollow service.

That might be the sentence every aspiring entrepreneur needs to hear.

The best of both sides is not anti-money, and it is not anti-growth. It is growth in service of something real.

Maybe the synergy is:

Useful Growth

Or maybe:

Service That Sustains

Either way, the warning is clear. A business can grow and still become hollow. A product can sell and still not matter. A company can win the spreadsheet and lose the soul.

🔍 Why This Episode Matters

This episode matters because Tom gives one of the clearest business lectures I have heard on Authbition — not by preaching, but by telling the truth.

He tells the truth about leaving a stable job. He tells the truth about falling flat on his face. He tells the truth about feature creep, hiring, customer support, Amazon, warranty decisions, and the pressure to make every business decision about money.

He also tells the truth about enoughness.

At one point, Tom says he is never going to have a billion-dollar company because there are not enough people or bikes on Earth for Outbound Lighting to sell a billion dollars’ worth of bike lights every year. Then he says there is a ceiling, and he kind of likes that.

So much of modern entrepreneurship is built around pretending there is no ceiling. No limit. No enough. No natural size for a company, a product, or a life.

Outbound Lighting is asking a different question.

What if the goal is not to become everything?

What if the goal is to become the right thing, for the right people, in the right way?

That is why this episode is about more than bike lights. It is about kind-hearted entrepreneurship, thoughtful career change, durable products, honest work, and the possibility of building something useful without selling your soul.

Show Notes for Episode A047 Dharna Ashar

This week on Authbition, I’m joined by Dharna Ashar, a writer, yoga instructor, former flight attendant, mother, teacher, and real human joining me from Dubai.

As long as you have a body, you can do yoga.

Dharna has lived what she describes as a few lives. She spent 12 years in aviation, served passengers around the world, became a mother, trained as a yoga teacher in India, taught yoga in Dubai and France, and is now beginning to write and reflect on the many stories she has carried along the way.

This conversation moves from airplanes to yoga mats, from Dubai to France, from meditation to writing, and from absorbing life’s intensity to learning how to observe it with presence.

This episode felt like another breakthrough moment for Authbition.

When I started the podcast, every guest was someone I reached out to directly. I was the one asking. I was the one inviting. I was the one saying, please come on this show with me while I figure out what this thing is becoming.

Then something interesting happened.

People started reaching out to me.

At first, that felt exciting. Then it got weird.

A lot of the people reaching out were not really people. Or at least, they didn’t feel like real people. AI-generated pitches. Fake publicists. Polished messages with no human center.

That experience has become part of the reason I care so much about Authbition as a Medium publication, too. I want to find real humans. Real writers. Real photographs. Real stories. Real art. Real people doing the vulnerable, imperfect, beautiful work of making something honest.

And somehow, Authbition is becoming more global than I ever expected.

I’ve had conversations with guests in Spain. I’ve connected with writers in India. Stefanie, Authbition’s designer and two-time guest, is in Prague. And now Dharna joins me from Dubai.

That makes me smile.

This little podcast I started from Raleigh, North Carolina, is slowly becoming a way to connect with real humans all around the world.

Dharna is one of those real humans.

We connected on Medium, where she is beginning to share her writing. I didn’t know exactly where the conversation would go when we started, but quickly, I could feel how much life was in the room.

Or maybe across the screen.

I was in the Finger Lakes when I recorded the introduction and in Virginia when we recorded the show together. Dharna joined me from Dubai. Somewhere between those places, we found a conversation about aviation, yoga, motherhood, teaching, writing, and what it means to live many lives without losing the thread of who we are.

🗣️ The Podcast

Dharna opens the conversation by saying she has lived a few lives.

That becomes the natural shape of the episode.

Her first life was in aviation. She began flying at 18, worked for multiple airlines, and eventually joined Emirates after losing her job during the difficult years after 9/11. She talks about serving passengers at 40,000 feet, the discipline of airline life, and the strange gift of getting paid to see the world.

She also talks about travel with the kind of detail only someone who has spent years in the air can offer.

Zimbabwe. Sydney. Maldives. Japan.

When she described Japan, I knew exactly what she meant. The cleanliness. The order. The care. The feeling that modern life and ancient wisdom somehow live side by side.

From there, the conversation moves from the sky to the yoga mat.

Yoga had been part of Dharna’s life before she became a teacher, but something still felt incomplete. So she went to India for yoga teacher training.

This was not the soft, candlelit version of yoga.

It was hot. It was intense. It was uncomfortable. It was full of ants, mosquitoes, creepy crawlies, long days, slow fans, and very little comfort.

Meditation did not come easily.

She could not sit still. She kept opening her eyes. She wondered how everyone else was doing it. She could not follow her breath. She could not force the stillness to arrive.

Then she said the line that resonated.

Meditation is practice, practice, practice.

That is the center of this conversation for me.

Not just meditation.

Yoga is a practice. Writing is a practice. Listening is a practice. Becoming a real human is a practice.

Dharna’s yoga training changed the way she saw herself and the world. She came back to Dubai with a different pair of eyes. The material things that once mattered so much began to lose their hold. Matching shoes and bags no longer carried the same meaning. Something had shifted.

From there, she began teaching yoga in Dubai, in homes, communities, schools, corporate settings, and even through chair yoga.

One of my favorite lines from the episode is her simple teaching philosophy:

As long as you have a body, you can do yoga.

That sentence has so much humanity in it.

It is not about the perfect studio. It is not about the perfect body. It is not about the perfect pose.

It is about breath, presence, attention, and meeting people where they are.

Dharna’s yoga journey later moved to France, where she found herself teaching in a rural countryside setting very different from the life she had known in Dubai. Some students paid with vegetables. Some paid with cookies. Some came with Parkinson’s, Lyme disease, arthritis, pain, and stories that reminded her what real people carry.

That part of the conversation moved me.

It wasn’t yoga as performance.

It was yoga as service.

🧠 The Whole Mind Game

In this episode, Dharna and I play The Whole Mind Game around the tension:

Observe <> Absorb

This one came directly from Dharna’s life.

As a yoga teacher, mother, writer, and deeply empathetic person, she has had to learn how to witness other people’s pain without taking all of it into herself.

That is not easy.

To observe is to see clearly.

To absorb is to feel deeply.

Observation without absorption can become cold, distant, and detached.

Absorption without observation can become overwhelming, exhausting, and self-erasing.

The best of the best is not choosing one over the other.

The best of the best is learning how to stay open without drowning.

That is what I heard in Dharna’s stories. She has listened to people in pain. She has taught students who needed more than a sequence of poses. She has carried her own hard chapters. She has learned, again and again, that breath creates space between what happens and how we respond.

In the Whole Mind Game, this becomes the real practice:

Care deeply.

Stay grounded.

Feel honestly.

Do not disappear.

That might be one of the great human tensions.

How do I keep my heart open without letting the whole world move in and wreck the place?

🔍 Why This Episode Matters

This episode matters because it is about practice.

Not polished practice.

Not perfect practice.

Real practice.

The kind that happens when the room is too hot, and the mosquitoes are in your ears. The kind that happens when you are trying to build a life in a new place and nothing feels familiar. The kind that happens when a student cries before the yoga class even begins. The kind that happens when you sit down to write after living so many lives and wonder where to begin.

I keep coming back to the connection between meditation and writing.

Dharna is early in her Medium writing journey. I’m further along in mine, but not finished. Not even close. We are both practicing.

That is one of the reasons I love these conversations. They remind me that Authbition is not about having everything figured out. It is about being in honest motion. It is about trying, reflecting, learning, and staying human while doing it.

Dharna’s story begins in the air, but the wisdom is on the ground.

Breathe.
Pause.
Observe.
Feel.
Let go.
Practice again tomorrow.

Authbition Is Connecting Real Humans All Around the World was originally published in Authbition on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

My whole life has been a heavyweight bout with the thieves of authenticity

I opened Ulysses after brainstorming on where I could write without guardrails. I didn’t get past the title when red dots appeared under “Grammarly” making me wonder: Did I misspel the brand name or did I spell “Grammar” wrong?

Instead of looking for the answer, I did something different. I opened up the settings and turned off the options for spelling and grammar checks.

Phew! That’s better.

I started using Grammarly after several human editors suggested it. I get it. They shouldn’t be wasting their valuable time on fixing grammar. The best editors I work with are closer to a life coach than the grammar police. They make me think. Dig deeper. Find subtext in my stories I didn’t know was there. I learn about myself.

But there’s been a downside to using Grammarly.

After two years, my assessment is that my writing has gotten worse. All of this perfect spelling and grammar is slowly turning my dial closer and closer to generic.

That dial has started triggering alarms that are getting louder and louder.

These alarms are the same ones that went off as a young child in church. There was something about all the sitting and standing and kneeling and reciting. Everyone looked like robots. I didn’t want that for me. I wanted to be free.

Then there was school. It took my love for writing and tried to beat it out of me. Too many teachers stressed perfect penmenship and prose. Very few of them celebrated passion.

This is my stream of consciousness right now:

Who gives a shit about spelling and grammar anyway? If that’s you, then guess what, I’m not performing for you.

I don’t mean this to be mean. It’s just that, I feel like anytime I feel stressed, it feels like I’m performing for you instead of for me.

Side note. Performing is fun. Sometimes when I’m riding my bike, I’ll do an old-school BMX trick. A bunny hop. Nothing crazy. If I do it when no one is looking, it’s because I’m practicing. If I do it when people are around, it’s because I’m performing. The trick makes me happy. If it makes you happy, it makes me even happier. If you don’t care about BMX tricks, well, then, I’m not performing for you.

A couple of years ago, I got so into myself during a mountain biking short-track race, that I launched myself into a jump that went out of control and I broke four ribs. I literally suffered a completely unnecessary severe injury because I like to perform.

Just not for you. Unless you like it. Then it’s for you.

Maybe this is all PTSD from, “Andy, please play the piano for our guests?”

Oh … how I HATED to be asked to perform for my parents’ friends.

Bottom line. I perform on my terms.

Maybe, sometimes, I do want to perform on your terms. I want to challenge myself. Then I do it. I submit work to publications. It’s eye opening and the rewards often outweigh the effort. Editors of some really good publications have style guidelines and demand good grammar. They have specific genres and an audience they’ve positioned their publication for.

If I want to perform in their sandbox, I have to play by their rules.

That’s cool.

When it works out, their curated audience resonates with my highly polished work. It’s a win-win.

But it’s a balance.

If I feel like my writing performance is going to be a dark humor autofiction piece, well then, I’m not going to submit it to a memior publication.

This here, what you’re reading now, it’s in Authbition. It’s position is focused on authenticity and ambition, not genre or correctness. If you want to perform here, the only ask is: be real human.

But don’t just perform for the audience. Peform for you. That’s when resonance happens.

Side note, what is correctness anyway? “What is good” is subjective. What one person calls a spelling error another person my call correct spelling. Language is a set of rules.

Rules aren’t made to be followed, they’re made to be enforced.

Unless a publication demands it, the use of Grammarly is like me installing a speed governor on my own car set for ten miles-per-hour below the speed limit.

Sometimes we have to deal with rules. Driving through a neghborhood where kids are playing is a good reason to slow down. And because there are inconsiderate people, speed bumps get installed.

But if I reall, really enjoy performing at very high speeds, maybe I should consider a career in stock car racing. Or at least make it a hobby.

All I’m saying here is that there’s a balance between rules and performance.

Now that I say it aloud, I’m excited to explore that tension.

Rules & Performace

I have a specific person in mind that would be a dream to explore this with. His name is Tom. We’ll see if I can pull that one off.

Here’s the thing. I LOVE to see Tom perform.

To me. He’s a rock star. I mean, well, he’s technically a rock star.

But he may not be a rock star for you, because maybe you don’t like his music. And, I’ll take a wild bet that he’s okay with that.

Rock stars perform for their audience. Yes.

But, when they peform for themselves and resonate with their audience, that’s the best.

I’ve gone way off the rails here. Reel it in Andrew!

So, why did I turn off Grammarly?

Because before I turned it on, I wrote like I spoke. People have told me, “Andrew, you have a strong voice.” My assessment is that Grammarly is watering down my voice.

Here’s another thing. Grammarly is the safe bet. Every now and then I write something offensive.

Yup. It happens. Somthing I say offends someone.

I’m a kind person. I swear. I’m a good person. I want to be a good person. I try to be non-judgemental. Shit. Is it judgemental or judgmental. I can’t tell with spell check off.

But, sometimes, I fail. Sometimes I slip and I am judgmental. Sometimes I’m not judgmental, but my words can be taken as such by someone. In fact, I simply think it’s highly unlikely to write anything that won’t offend some body.

Grammarly and other AIs have kindly informed me on occastion that my writing could be interpreted as offensive. Thank you, Grammarly?

Or, not?

You know what I’d prefer. Just call me out on it.

Having writing apps slowly nudge me towards the least possible offensive language really, honestly, isn’t teaching me anything other than assimilation.

I’d rather fall on my face. Say something that gets me in hot water. And realize, “Oh, shit, I really fucked that one up.”

Just call me out on it. Sometimes I’ll agree, and say, “Oh, wow, I’m so sorry. I didn’t intend it that way.”

Sometimes, maybe, I won’t agree. “Shoot, I’m sorry you feel that way, this is just how I use words.”

I’m not performing for you.

My whole life has been a heavyweight bout with the thieves of authenticity. There are times when I was winning. I stood up for myself. I stayed true to my soul. Those are the stories of rebelling against teachers who tried to steal my creativity. Those are the motorcyle journeys, tattoos, and tales of love.

And there are times in my life when I was losing. Times when I became an inconsiderate asshole. Those are the stories of losing my temper, blowing up my career, blindly falling in lust, and becoming estranged from my daughter.

When it comes to authenticity, I can see myself, down on the mat with ref standing over me counting to ten. He’s been at nine more than once. I’m grateful for my resilience, for my ability to peel myself off the mat and stand back up for another shot at the theif of authenticity who is glaring down at me.

Today that theif is Grammarly. It’s spell check. It’s anything that makes my writing feel safe.

I don’t know how many rounds I have left with the thieves of authenticity. But you’ll be damn sure to know that so long as I’m alive, I won’t go down without swinging, and I’ll always find a way to get back up.

Show Notes for Episode A046

In Episode A046 of Authbition, I recorded from the quiet engineering quad at NC State University during a Saturday morning bike ride on Mother’s Day weekend.

This episode started as a test of a new microphone system. It became a reflection on listener feedback, the future of Authbition, and why I’m returning to one of the original roots of the show: reading my own essays out loud.

The essay I share in this episode is called “The Biggest Criminal of Your Mind Is in Your Pocket.” It’s about cognitive offloading, GPS, smartphones, AI, memory, brain health, and the slow erosion of skills we may not realize we’re losing until they’re gone.

🎟️ Backstage Pass

I didn’t plan to record this episode from NC State.

I was out on a longer bike ride and thought I might stop somewhere in nature, maybe out near Umstead Park. But when I rode through Centennial Campus, the engineering quad was completely quiet.

No students. No crowd. No noise.

Just a beautiful spring morning, graduation weekend, Mother’s Day weekend, and a place where I once spent 12 years of my life as a professor.

So I stopped.

I sat down.

I tested the mic.

And I recorded the opening to this episode.

I’ve been getting helpful feedback from listeners lately. Three pieces have stayed with me:

• One, take a little more time to properly open the show.
• Two, read more of my own essays again.
• Three, think about monetizing Authbition.

This episode responds to the first two. The third will come when the time is right. I’m not interested in simply turning on ads. Authbition is not just a podcast to me. It’s becoming a movement, a brand, and eventually a team.

🗣️ The Podcast

This episode is a little different.

There’s no guest. There’s no Whole Mind Game. There’s no two-hour conversation.

Instead, I take listeners behind the scenes of how one of my essays came to life.

The week before recording, Abby and I were camping in our Airstream near George Washington National Forest. I woke up early, as I often do in the woods, and wrote an essay about cognitive offloading.

The subject is serious.

The tone is a little sharp.

I wanted it to be funny, but I also worried it might come across as judgmental. That’s not who I want to be. I practice nonjudgment, but that doesn’t mean I always get it right.

So before submitting the essay, I read it out loud to Abby and asked her whether I should hit submit.

Her answer gave me the confidence to “Hit the submit button.” Later that day, it was accepted into Ai-Ai-OH and published.

Read it here:

The Biggest Criminal of Your Mind Is in Your Pocket

🧠 The Essay

“The Biggest Criminal of Your Mind Is in Your Pocket” begins with a memory from 1991, when Stevens Tech replaced mechanical drawing with computer-aided design.

At the time, I was angry.

I didn’t want school to teach me software. I wanted to learn the underlying skill. I wanted to learn how to draw, visualize, and think mechanically before handing that work to a machine.

Decades later, I see that moment differently.

It wasn’t just about CAD.

It was an early experience of cognitive offloading.

The essay moves from CAD to calculators, GPS, smartphones, and AI. The question is not whether these tools are useful. They are.

The question is whether we’re using them after building the human capability, or before our brains ever get the chance to grow.

That distinction matters.

A tool can scale a skill.

But if the tool replaces the skill before the skill exists, something human may be lost.

🧭 The Tension

The tension in this episode is not technology versus no technology.

That’s too easy.

The real tension is:

Useful Technology <> Human Capability

I don’t want to reject modern tools. I use them every day. I’m using them to build Authbition. I used technology to record this episode from a bike ride.

But I also don’t want to surrender my mind to convenience.

GPS can help me get somewhere faster. It can also keep me from building the map in my mind. Calculators can save time. They can also keep me from practicing number sense.

AI can support creativity.

It can also become a substitute for struggle, memory, discernment, and original thought.

The best of the best is not rejecting technology.

The best of the best is using powerful tools without giving away the mind that makes those tools meaningful.

🔍 Why This Episode Matters

This episode is about more than phones.

It’s about the hidden cost of convenience.

The body still needs movement.
The mind still needs friction.
Memory still needs use.
Creativity still needs practice.
Navigation still needs attention.

I can see when my body gets weaker. I can look in the mirror and notice my belly, my arms, my posture, my stiffness.

The brain is different. I don’t see cognitive atrophy in the mirror. That makes it easier to ignore. So I’m trying to practice while I still can.

Turn off GPS sometimes.
Calculate the tip in my head.
Remember a phone number.
Draw by hand.
Play guitar.
Walk without a plan.
Get lost in the woods.

Not because technology is bad.

Because my brain is worth training.

🙏 Thanks for Listening

This episode also includes a small Mother’s Day reflection.

I lost my mom six years ago. I miss her. And I’ve also been lucky to have many women in my life who offered motherly care in different ways — feeding me, welcoming me, guiding me, and making room for me at the table.

So happy Mother’s Day to mothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, surrogate mothers, dog and cat mothers, motherly figures, and Mother Nature herself.

Thank you for listening, reading, watching, and offering feedback.

I want Authbition to become something meaningful. Not just a show. Not just a game. Something that can do real good in the world.
