Tomorrow, a handful of excellent human beings are going to join me in this blogging experiment.

This is a shout out to Reuben, Marcus and Teaghan.

It’s also a shout out to three other fine people, Greg, Beth and Erin. These three folks are a big part of why I started, finished, and then restarted a blogging experiment. They’re also a suprisingly, and probably unknowingly large part of why I’m learning Te Reo.

It turns out, if you meet regularly with a bunch of mates, are honest about what you’d like to change about the world, and take each other seriously enough to want those changes to happen, you start doing things.

This blog is one of them. My Reo journey is another.

Also. Shout out to my wife. She doesn’t blog, but she’s still awesome.

The Reo Project | Day 212

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.
