It’s like everyone thinks we’re competing to win the same prizes, but the truth is that we’re all playing different games. There is more than enough to go around. I hope y’all win, for real. Work hard at something you love, then celebrate when you get what you deserve. I will.

After 19 years of investment, I took a step away just to see what would happen. In the silence, I kept walking a different direction.

“Just forget it. Play it wrong. Go over it again & eventually you’ll get it right- but you must not block. Even if you have to slow it down, always keep the same proportional rhythm. If it’s the wrong note, play the wrong note, just make sure you play the right rhythm.” -Alan W.

Landed in Denver a couple weeks ago. 10 steps off the plane: “Hey! Is your name Carlos?” 👀 Ugh. I hated that moment so much, but “Wherever I go, there I am” or whatever. Honestly, if I get where I want, more people will know me/us. And I’m starting to believe that’s ok. 😅💚✌🏽

“You’re right. You gunna be my manager or what?” “Not sure how we got here, but no… (Long fucking pause) What I’m interested in is all of us doing integrated work that elevates the whole. If me helping you grow, or connecting you to projects is a part of that, then so be it.”

This place was home to many of my earliest memories of a new life my family created 23 years ago. I didn’t understand that change, or why it was necessary, but this place brought me peace. I’d purposefully drive by & stop here on my way to games. Burn it all & reset, I suppose.

Sat with a friend recently who is further down the road than I am. I said, “I’m trying to learn how to retire for myself & my parents. That feels really daunting.” He said, “Just keep asking questions. You’ll be ok.” If you start with nothing, you have to build to something. 🤍
