You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.

When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.

  • Strategic Alignment in the Mess of Problem-Solving

    In a February 26, 2026 commentary in Fortune, Robert Raben, leader of NxtLevel, argues that the HBO medical drama The Pitt offers a “masterclass display of DEI in action.” The show itself follows the staff of a Pittsburgh hospital emergency department through a single 15-hour shift. The format is compressed. Chaotic, real-time, high stakes, life…

  • We are all artists… whether we acknowledge it or not

    Many people would never describe themselves as creative, let alone artistic… that word feels reserved for the formally gifted, the visibly talented, the ones who paint or sing or sculpt or perform, those who make beauty with their hands and voices in ways that can be named and recognised. And so it becomes easy for…

  • Decluttering isn’t about letting go, it’s about getting clear

    In 2025, decluttering has quietly shifted from being about cleaning up to something far more consequential: alignment. Not just of space, but of energy, values, and direction. It’s no longer about having less for the sake of minimalism, but about intentionally curating what remains so your environment actually reflects who you are now and where…

  • You Must Make Room First…If You Want to Grow

    I’ve come to understand that decluttering a home and pruning a plant are guided by the same underlying principle: growth doesn’t begin with adding more, it begins with removing what no longer supports life. This is something I’ve returned to many times over the years, not as a lifestyle philosophy or a reset ritual, but…

  • How to Prevent Memory Erosion in this Digi-AI Era

    In 2019, J.I. Baker wrote an article called “The Digital-Era Brain.” At the time, the big concern was distraction. Our devices were stealing attention, shrinking focus, and making it harder for us to remember anything for more than a minute. The data felt alarming: But tucked into the article was the real warning: we were…

  • How to Stop Fear from Killing Creativity

    Michael Jackson never needed an introduction. By the time This Is It was announced, the world understood exactly what it meant for him to return to the stage. Not a comeback…a resurrection of genius. A promise that the greatest showman alive was about to deliver something only he could imagine. And then… it never happened.…

  • In Favour of Giving Things Up (In Business)

    Renunciation in personal life involves mentally letting go of unhealthy habits, attachments, and excessive desires to foster inner peace and spiritual growth. Practices include: Renunciation in business however, isn’t addressed quite as often. I’m not talking about sacrifice… or deprivation…or moral purity. I am talking about renunciation as the deliberate act of letting something go so that…

  • On Strategy, Stories & What Actually Lives Inside a Plan

    I didn’t walk into the Fundable & Findable book club expecting much. Don’t get me wrong… after following Kevin for some time and eventually buying his book, I knew the discussion would be rich; but I still assumed it would be one of those large, impersonal webinars where your camera stays off, your mic stays…

  • It Isn’t About Being Perfect -It’s About Being Perfectly You

    For most of my life, I thought excellence meant perfection. If I could just get it right – the timing, the copy, the offer, the tone, the framework, the output, the guarantee – then things would fall into place. Clients would say yes. Partners would stay. The world would clap and I’d finally be seen…

  • So What Exactly Do You Do?

    A few months ago, someone asked me what I do. And I stumbled. Not because I didn’t know — but because I hadn’t yet found the language to describe it. At the time, I was mid-evolution. Testing ideas. Refining frameworks. Delivering results that didn’t always show up neatly. Some clients said they felt clearer. Lighter.…
