I find building a family and building a team and company incredibly rewarding; both are difficult, but I do not see them as mutually exclusive. I feel fulfilled doing both, and gratitude is an understatement.
On August 24, 2025, I said I had some free time during a weekend trip to Chicago that month, which was to visit a business partner. I said the trip was really fun and joked that you can have it all if you plan well enough. I did not describe specific planning practices or identify the partner. This connects with time with family comes first.
On March 26, 2026, I shared a post headed “Life design goals” quoting @RossMackay111: he wrote that his daughters were getting older, his garage was getting fuller, and his POs were getting bigger. The quoted post included a link; these were his words, not my own family or business update.
On November 27, 2025, replying to @CreativesAndrew, I said I had always delayed “it,” and that having a baby delayed it even more. The reply does not specify what I had delayed, so I cannot say which project or activity was affected.
On December 3, 2025, I said I was excited to get back home and grind after quality time with family. I called that time a blessing and a recharge, and expressed gratitude for it.
