The ladder didn’t just get shaky.
It changed shape.
Most people feel the shift.
They just don’t know what replaces it.
We were trained to climb.
No one taught us how to build.

Precision before pace.
Most people don’t need to move faster.
They need to know which step matters next.

One thing I keep seeing in capable professionals is 'decision overload' — not lack of motivation. This is something I’ve been thinking about lately.

Leaving a wrong-fit job isn’t just about courage.
It’s about knowing how to bridge the space between.
Once the bridge becomes visible, the exit stops feeling reckless — and starts feeling enticing.
2026 might be your year.
And when that time comes…
I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
