It doesn’t matter whether you love people, ideas or experiences, it’s the connections that make them meaningful.

A single idea, fact or truth is more meaningful when connected to a larger framework of understanding.
Moments what would typically be mundane, like blowing out a candle have greater meaning when connected to someone, like your mum’s birthday cake.
Experiences can be awesome by themselves but have real strength and lasting impact when they are shared with others or brought to mind by deliberate reflection or in response to later events.

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.
