We could spend a long time planning, thinking, dreaming and designing the perfect house, the perfect business, the perfect property system. And when we were done, it would be pretty awesome.

Then we’d have to build it.

Or we could pick something small - a tiny house, a market stall, a single property - and do it. And we’d learn something new, something that we probably wouldn’t have learnt by talking, planning, thinking, dreaming and designing.

And then we could pick something else, and do it again.

And learn again.

And do again.

Until it’s done.

And it if never gets done, at least we did something.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.

You’re welcome to follow along.
