The year is coming to an end. Next week I will be flying to South Africa for three weeks. I am really looking forward to summer, seeing my family, and spending time in Cape Town with friends. At the end of the year, I always do two things: I spring-clean my apartment and throw out [ ]
The past few months have been full — not just with travel and change, but with gentle reminders of what really counts. I celebrated my 40th in Malta with close friends — a trip filled with laughter, sea swims, and late-night talks. Then came Australia: Sydney, a tech conference in Brisbane, and diving the Great [ ]
This week I turn 40. It’s a big one. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’ve been journaling almost daily for the past 14 years. This week, I sat down and reflected on the past decade — reading through old journals and paging through photos from 2015. I remembered where I [ ]
Life s been good this side. I’m chiseling away at the future I want, while trying to enjoy the present too. 95% of the time, I feel like I’m winning. 5% of the time, I feel like a complete idiot questioning every life decision I’ve ever made. And somehow… that balance feels exactly right. That’s life. [ ]
I m back in Barcelona after my motorhome trip through Spain, and it felt like I experienced a real shift in perspective. It’s been three years since I left South Africa, but it s crazy how much of that old conditioning still lingers. Three moments stood out on this trip that I want to share with [ ]
I’ve spent the last week living out of a motorhome. I decided to venture south of Barcelona with no plan — just me, Bobby, and the open road. If you know me, you know this isn’t my usual style. My entire life has been about discipline, optimization, and goals — pushing forward with purpose, always [ ]
Last week, I shared a mailer with the question: “What’s one of the best things you’ve ever done?” I loved reading the responses so I thought I’d share a few of them with you too maybe as inspiration for what you might want to try next: Had a child (by far the most [ ]
Whenever someone says the words: “This is one of the best things I’ve ever done,” I listen. Like, really listen. Because those things are usually special. It’s become a little compass for me. When enough people point in a direction with that kind of conviction, I tend to follow. And almost every time—it doesn’t disappoint. [ ]
Today, I’ve decided to let go of Instagram. It’s not a dramatic “goodbye” or a cry for attention — quite the opposite. I’m just… done. Quietly. Without the farewell story. Without needing to explain it to the algorithm. This year has been different for me. Slower. More intentful. I’ve been living more deliberately, paying closer [ ]
When I was 20, my mom s boyfriend of 10 years — who felt like a dad to me — died of a heart attack. He was 36. I remember the doctor saying it might’ve been because he’d just quit smoking, after years of doing three packs a day. Something about the blood being thicker or [ ]
