To be human in the information age is to experience deep-seated tension. Many of us feel what seems to be a constant pressure to iterate, ideate and innovate.
To strive, do better, think bigger, be more productive. To be creative, entrepreneurial, do work that matters. To make an impact.
We exist in a constant overdose of information, yet we're also starving for meaningful engagement.
Being given co-ordinates and directives to follow is reassuring, but they're straight lines on the surface: a version of where someone else thinks we should go, or a smoothed out narrative that can mislead us when we seek to follow it.
A path to the secret, when the secret doesn't really exist.
In today's tsunami of information and ideas, we need something different to help us move through the waves.

Like you, like me, they're all out there in the world - and they're in it - right now.
I hope the ideas, stories and challenges they share will help provide some fuel for your journey, whichever waves you're riding.
Hope you see on board.
