It feels strange to say it, the years have flown by so quickly.
Along the way, I’ve worked for dream companies and eventually built one of my own. I’ve lived in beautiful places, embraced new cultures, learned different languages, and loved extraordinary people who left a deep mark on my life.
I’ve also had the privilege of working with amazing teams, talented, passionate individuals from whom I’ve learned more than I ever imagined.
Above all, I’ve always received far more than I’ve expected.
Becoming a father has been the most transformative experience of all. Nathan gave my life more profound meaning and a love I never believed could exist.
Over the years, I’ve come to understand the value of our most precious resources: time and health. We can’t buy them, and we never know how much of either we’ll get.
Together, they define the quality and possibilities of our lives.
I’ve learned how important it is to define who we truly want to be, and to live in a way that honours that vision, making sure our actions reflect our words, and our promises are backed by the commitment to keep them.
Life offers us chances, and between the fear of failing and the ease of doing nothing, I’ve always chosen to try.
These 50 years held many different worlds. I tried to live each one fully, always with a smile. Maybe that’s what has kept the wrinkles away, at least for now. :)
I don’t know what the years ahead will bring, but I do know I want to keep learning, giving, and showing up, with the same curiosity and energy that have defined these first 50 years.
To everyone who has been part of my journey, whether as a friend, mentor, client, manager, colleague, or companion: Thank You!
You’ve made the ride meaningful, and I carry a piece of each of you with me.
