2024 has been incredible, not without significant sorrow but probably the best year so far.

I’m particularly chuffed because I’ve completed the ‘legacy trifecta’.

✅finished a book (published Q1 2025)
✅planted a tree (oak)
✅had a son (super cute and super curious)

happy new year everyone🥳

common misunderstanding: things improve because people choose better

reality:things get so bad that people seek alternatives. they do this because its cheap + painless vs the status quo

it’s push first.
your job is to provide the ‘pull’

the scariest push at the moment?
away from nation states
