Hi friends, I hope all is well. I'm not going to be able to make the call today, and I couldn't make last week's either (it's evening time for me, so it's hit-or-miss). But I just wanted to share some small wins: things are on track for me after moving house and relocating to another country. I've found an excellent office workspace that I've signed up for for 6 months. And I've found a great gym, which I'm about to sign up for for one year. Just focusing on getting the right systems and environments in place so everything's good to go over this quarter. Still emotionally rough going, but taking the lead in getting things in place and going all-in on building a better future. I'm also going to end this week with one action (leveraging AI) that makes the previous week's system obsolete, at least in principle. I guess that's an ideal way to end each week: take an action and achieve a result your previous self hadn't done before or wouldn't have had in their system and workflow. Sitting with some resistance, so it's helpful to write here. Does anyone else have anything similar?

Playing golf tomorrow! Sorry to miss.

i was spinning. Two offers I believe God gave me. Two audiences I'm called to serve. And zero clarity on how to reach them. I kept recycling the same strategies. The same "logical" approaches. The same human effort that was producing the same human results. So I did something that makes no sense to the productivity crowd. I stopped. I fasted. Not just food. Content. News. The constant noise that was disguising itself as "research." Within 24 hours, God dropped something on my heart I never would have come up with on my own. Instead of two one-time events...I'm doimg three-day experiences for both audiences. Here's the part that believers who are entrepreneurs to ahould understand: Gos is infinite and all knowing and we are finite and limited. Doesn't it just make sense to lay our businesses before him and ask for help and strategies? By end of day two, all the content for both events was complete. Both are scheduled. Invites already sent to my lists. What took me months and if I put away my ego and I'm honest years of spinning happened in 48 hours of surrender and trust. That's not hustle. That's not discipline. That's what happens when you stop feeding your mind with the world's noise and start listening to the One who actually has the plan. If you're stuck right now, let me ask you something: What are you consuming that's blocking what God is trying to reveal?

Hi friends, Just sharing an update from recent travels in Sri Lanka and my hometown, Colombo. I was there for a contemporary art festival (www.colomboscope.lk), where I exhibited my work. I was also invited to take part in a group exhibition at a local gallery. Both were well received, and the festival was a major networking event. But it went much further, deepening connections and friendships locally and regionally. One of the Super Whos I was meant to reach out to as part of Q4’s 10-Week Challenge is now my friend. While I’m still starstruck, I think we’re both benefiting from the relationship, which is pretty cool. This is her website; she’s an artist: https://sehershah.net/ During the festival, I also decided to host a charity art sale to support Cyclone Ditwah relief. For those of you interested in art market pricing, I’ve attached a pdf with a price list from my time working with a gallery in Colombo. Happy to chat further about it and share more, as it’s likely unfamiliar territory. I managed to raise $3,748.55 from seven artworks over five days. The sale was 50% off, and all proceeds went to charity. It was a good sale and an interesting test to see which collectors were willing to purchase. One of the main takeaways is that I’m ready to take on a more empowered leadership role to build a robust and resilient arts infrastructure in Sri Lanka. This would involve reaching out to friends and their families who run business empires there and asking them to contribute towards this larger goal. I will also be approaching my family (we have a family business there, too). I’m well placed to be in this position as an art advisor because people know and trust me personally and professionally. That’s the hometown network. Another identity shift is that I feel ready to pursue academic study at a university again. It’s been 12 years since I graduated from college, and I never felt ready. But now many things have fallen into place, which is quite exciting.

One down! 5 to go! 😂 (just kidding-sort of).
