In June 2022, I started this blog from a cafe in Barcelona. The plan was to pursue my curiosity, let the universe guide me, then share what I learn with smart people on the internet.

I’m pleased to say that the plan is going well. We recently reached 1,000 subscribers. It took longer than I expected.

Nonetheless, I’m proud of the milestone. And deep down, I know it is just the beginning in terms of growth. I know it in my guts. I know it in my guts because of how much I love writing.

If anything I’ve wrote has ever been of any value to you, that is great. But the truth is that I write for completely selfish reasons.

I hope you write for selfish reasons too—to remember, to forget, to plan, to acknowledge, to get into a better mood, to persuade, to express yourself through telling a story, and most importantly, to learn.

Thank you for being here on this journey. Doubly so if you remember the original logo.

We are going to win.
