First, thank you for raising your hand and trusting I will provide value to you. It feels like the right time to intentionally build an authentic community, and I promise to take my commitment to you and this initiative seriously.

  I’ve become intensely focused on the long game this year. That certainly hasn’t always been my orientation, though the longer I live, the more clearly I see how much upside is created over time if we only have the patience and persistence to stick with it.
