One of the amazing things about being an entrepreneur is that you have the opportunity to learn new things all the time. Every day, in fact. Some of those “new things” are actually interesting and worth sharing, many are not. Let’s hope we can tell the difference!
Most people start blogs primarily to build awareness. We would be lying if that wasn’t also the case here, but it’s not the driving force. In our case, it’s a forcing function. We’ve found that writing out one’s thoughts is an exercise in focus and humility. It forces one to think. To question. To articulate. To imagine. To listen.
This site is a forcing function, and in that sense it is also an indulgence: in a moment of AI slop, writing regularly and publicly is a way for us to practice and retain our ability to think.
Thanks for following along.
