“I never trust anyone who’s more excited about success than about doing the thing they want to be successful at.”

"The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."

Acceptance of grief is a daily effort.

"We know shit's hard but we're gonna need you to do more with less" is shaping up to be the theme of 2025.
