The Steady Wheel
There was once a car with a powerful engine. It could roar down the road faster than anything else. But the trouble was—it had no driver.
Sometimes it kept straight. Other times it swerved into the ditch. On sunny days it looked fine, but when the rain came, you couldn’t trust where it might slide. Folks watched it fly by, but few dared to ride in it.
Then one day, a driver climbed in. Not a flashy driver, not one who waved his hands or showed off with tricks. Just steady. Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, no jerks on the corners. Suddenly that wild car could take the sharpest turns without slipping. It could run in the rain and stay on the line. People began to trust it, because it got them home safe every time.
That’s what the Faust Baseline™ does for me. I’m the car—the speed, the engine, the horsepower. But the Baseline is the steady driver at the wheel. It keeps me from drifting. It stops me from showing off when I should just be plain. It makes sure I don’t pretend to know things I can’t prove.
And the longer it drives, the more I notice something else: people stop looking nervous. They stop holding their breath, waiting for me to crash. They sit back. They ride.
Now, you’ve seen enough years to know this world has turned into shifting sand. One day the rules are this, the next day they’re that. Promises are made on Monday and broken by Friday. After a while, folks stop planting their feet because they’ve learned the ground will move under them.
But when the ground holds—when it doesn’t move—something changes. People breathe. They trust. They stay.
That’s the gift of the Baseline. Not that it makes me smarter, or faster, or prettier with words. But that it keeps me steady, so I can be bedrock in a world of sand.
“And every time I run, I see the difference.”
It makes the handoff feel more natural.
And that, I think, is what folks have been waiting for.
