The Weight of Building, Letting Go & Moving Forward Authentically
I have spent my life building things. Businesses, relationships, dreams.
I’ve started from nothing, held the weight of responsibility, and turned ideas into places where people gather, shop, learn, and grow. I’ve built brands from the ground up, poured myself into them, and then, when the time was right—or when I had no choice—I let them go.
A New Beginning
This must be what stepping foot on the moon for the first time feels like. Euphoric. Surreal. A moment so monumental, so extraordinary, that words almost feel unworthy of describing it. If asked to articulate it, I find myself grasping at metaphors, a mere mortal undeserving of such power.
I wish I knew how to bottle this feeling. This rare, intoxicating flow is a high unlike any other (though, full disclosure, my experience in that realm is limited—my wildest trip was an Ambien-induced hallucination, never again).
Nonetheless, I did a thing. I pressed the button. And now it’s real.
As a self-proclaimed self-help junkie, I have to say, it took some rehab to get my mind right.
Not in the traditional sense. But I had to do some unlearning.
For years, all the content I consumed was about goals, habits, routines, management, leadership… because I was obsessed with becoming a “better version” of myself.
