I called customer service and explained to Ashley what happened. She stayed on the phone to make sure everything was in the box and nothing was damaged. She then made a masterclass move -- she asked me about my pets. She asked follow-up questions and told me about her cats. She ended the call with a request to give Henry a belly rub and Tilly some ear scratches from her. This is simple stuff, but Chewy executes on it brilliantly. In a bad customer moment, she asked me about two things I dearly love. That builds brands, customer loyalty and ultimately success. WELL DONE ASHLEY AND CHEWY!!!

Jeff Pugh liked thisJeff Pugh liked thisFifteen years ago today I was strapped into Endeavour waiting for the engines to light. STS-134. The second-to-last shuttle mission ever flown. Mark Kelly was commanding, Greg "Box" Johnson was at the controls, and Drew Feustel, Greg Chamitoff, Roberto Vittori, and I were along for one of the most meaningful rides of our lives. Our main cargo was something extraordinary: the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. Professor Sam Ting of MIT had spent decades fighting to make AMS a reality — bringing together hundreds of scientists from around the world to build an instrument designed to search for dark matter, antimatter, and clues to some of the biggest questions in the universe. We carried it to the International Space Station in Endeavour’s payload bay like the most important piece of luggage in history. Because honestly, it might have been. We installed it on station. It turned on. And fifteen years later, AMS is still up there, still collecting cosmic rays, still doing great science, still reminding us what is possible when vision, persistence, engineering, and international teamwork come together. But today, what I remember most is the people. The crew. Our Expedition 27 teammates (Dmitri Kondratyev, Cady Coleman, Paolo Nespoli, Andrei Borisenko, Alexander Samokutyaev, and Ron Garan) waiting for us on station. The spacewalkers. The robotic arm operators. The flight controllers. The trainers. The engineers. The technicians. The families. The scientists who had poured their lives into AMS. Thousands of people, all locked in, all committed, all making sure Endeavour’s final mission counted. That is leadership at its best: trust the team, do the work, take care of each other, and keep your eyes on the bigger purpose. Four spacewalks. Hundreds of tasks. And then the handshakes, the hugs, and the hatch closing between us and our friends still up there. Endeavour landed for the last time. An era ended. I've been lucky enough to fly four times. Every mission changed me. But this one — the penultimate shuttle flight, carrying a machine built to answer humanity's oldest questions — sits with me differently. Maybe because we all knew history was watching. The future of human spaceflight has never looked brighter. New spacecraft, new destinations, a whole generation of explorers who've grown up knowing the ISS was there, orbiting overhead, crewed by humans working together. That's not nothing. That's everything. Happy anniversary, STS-134 crew. Miss you all. And Sam — thank you for never giving up on that spectrometer. Ad Lunam, ad Martem, ad Astra! Andrew J. Feustel, Roberto Vittori, Gregory Chamitoff, Gregory H Johnson, Cady Coleman, PhD, Ron Garan

Jeff Pugh reacted on thisJeff Pugh reacted on thisAbraham Lincoln understood, perhaps better than anyone, what it means to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and how personal liberty and self-reliance are at the heart of the American experience. But Lincoln also understood something else. He recognized that while each of us must do our part, work as hard as we can, and be as responsible as we can — in the end, there are certain things we cannot do on our own. There are certain things we can only do together. There are certain things only a union can do. That union is not simply a matter of law or accident of geography, but a moral commitment we make to our fellow citizens and to our shared future. That democracies endure not only because of constitutions or armies, but because free people choose, again and again, to bind their fates together. That only by maintaining a sense of shared sacrifice and responsibility — for ourselves and one another — can we do the work that must be done in this country. And that it is precisely when the climb is steepest that we relearn how to take the mountaintop, as one nation and one people.
