Why subscribe?

You like what I’m doing - that’s why you’re here thinking about subscribing, right? Run your OODA Loop for sure, but make sure to factor in how useful the info I provide is, how it’s presented in a relatable (and often entertaining manner), the implicit guidance of your desire to “just do it”, and the explicit guidance of me telling you to hit that subscribe button. Come on. Do it. I dare you.

Become Grounded.

As our world becomes increasingly digitized with “models” forged by AI crunching Big Data for a “reforging of our reality” - sometimes you just have to stop and smell the smoke. Go for a hike and crumble some leaves or feel the pinecones. Get in the DIRT, take a moment - one good, deep breath - and reconnect with the real world around you. Experience real, see the forest AND the trees - that’s Grounded Truth.
