❤️💣 Mission: From the Beginning


From the Beginning


The Background

I just got back from taking a walk with my brother during a break in my work. It was a nice piece of downtime during this very busy month where I'm transitioning myself into a new (much more fun and creative) career as an AI developer. It made me realize that he's been there through all of my twists and turns, ups and downs, and personal growth over the years, and I'm thankful for him.

The Mission

This week, spend 10 minutes to acknowledge someone who was there with you in the beginning.

No matter where you are now, or how far that is from where you started, reach out and give a nudge to someone who's walked with you for this long, and is still there with you. Even when you're a proper asshole ;)

It's probably easiest just to...

it me The internet as we know it today became prominent around 1993. I was 15 years old, and I started making my living from it just a few years later . . . which means that I’ve been working in this space for the majority of my life – over 30 years. I used to enjoy going online. The connections I made with people were almost always positive. I learned new and interesting things. I witnessed creativity and beauty in so many forms. I spent many years building philanthropic communities,...
