Gold medal energy at @frontierco.bsky.social Frontier Summit 🥇
Two 🇨🇦 Olympic legends Penny Oleksiak & Jennifer Heil brought pure inspiration to Grouse Mountain.
I’ve watched them win on the world stage, but their mindset, patience, and approach to life impressed me even more.

10 years in VR/AR taught me the power of patience, community & connection. I helped build a global hub, saw lives changed, and still believe this tech will be second nature one day.
It’s not hype. It’s just not instant.
Still watching. Still believing.

Not everyone will like you.
Some will twist your story.
Smile to your face, talk behind your back.
It’s not about you, it’s about disruption.
People project. Let them.

Still riding the high from the first-ever #SXSWLondon. Our fireside wasn’t just about AI—it was about building bold ecosystems for an age of urgency.
If we build with outdated models, we risk losing the human edge. Innovation must be intentional, connected, and brave.

If we’re not careful, we risk outsourcing curiosity, vulnerability, and human connection.

It comes from intentional spaces where creativity, connection & community collide.
