Journal.
Just a collection of ideas, thoughts, and things I’m still working through.
Things that cost something to write.
Some are short.
Some are long.
All are honest.
If you’re looking for something polished, you might not find it here.
But if you’re in a season of rethinking how you lead, how you work, or how you live?
Hopefully something here will meet you where you’re at.
The world is a hungry thing
The world is hungry. If you let it, it will take every hour you have. Then ask for the next one after that.
Fireworks and firewood
You can’t make fireworks out of firewood.
But if you look up, you might still catch a few embers drifting through the air.
My bot, talking to your bot.
When everyone has the perfect script, the only advantage left is being the one who refuses to use it. Which is odd, if you think about it.
Enough ideas to ruin your business
I came across a quote recently that caught me off guard. At first, I laughed. Then I felt a bit sick. Then I wrote it down.
The masks we wear.
What started as a polished website became a mirror. The further I tried to perfect the story, the more the truth pushed through the cracks. This is what’s left when the mask finally comes off.
Artificial intelligence: Wherever you go, there you are.
The AI conversation is loud right now. Louder than it’s ever been.
And at River, our position is clear.
The drawbridge and the grass: How we heal, retreat, and begin again
After something painful, most of us do the same thing.
It doesn’t really matter what shape it takes.
Something breaks, and we retreat.
Moving forward: Men’s Health Week
Last week was Men’s Health Week. I wasn’t planning to post anything. Clearly, very few of us were.
Because as the days passed, I kept noticing how quiet it felt.
How do we help the quiet ones?
Some people shout when they need help.
Others stay quiet.
And more often than not, it’s the quiet ones we need to worry about most.
RISE2025. The weight of an industry
A reflection on the RISE Conference in Sydney and the conversations real estate needs to start having. About pressure, burnout, and supporting the people behind the performance.
I’m building this out as the lessons take place.
Not content for the sake of content. Or empty noise.
So, if you’ve ever had a thought or an idea that’s made you stop.
Or something that’s turned you 180 degrees from your previous beliefs.
I’d love to hear from you.
It can be anything at all.
And you can leave your name, or you can keep it private.
I also share more thoughts like this through my newsletter.
No fluff, nothing to sell, and no fixed cadence.
Just some things that never make it to socials or this website.
If you’d like to hear from me now and then, just select the type of content you’d like.
