Before it was sold to Block around three years ago, I as part of the leadership team at Cogent. Part of my role was to working on the strategy for the business, and strategic projects that would bring that strategy to life.

This piece is a republishing of something I wrote in 2020, about some of the most filling work I have done.

Start with small movements

Improvement through subtraction instead of addition

What constraints would I choose if I did not have kids?

Letting go of that which is craved

Grief can sneak up on us in unexpected ways

Or, the ability to have the calm, rational conversation in the midst of the storm

Seeking to understand, rather than judge, the different parts of ourself

What is important can become clear when we have moment to slow down

Within the web of wellbeing, sleep plays a interconnecting role

What happens when our most deeply held truth crumbles

The paradox of constraints is that sometimes they can enable

Reaching out can be hardest when things are most difficult

Creating the space to think and feel

I am a number of years into my single, mindful, dad experience, and about eleven years into my experience of being a dad in any form.

Sometimes surviving is enough
