To Makers,
To the ones who dance like no one’s watching. We go too long without telling our stories. Stories of how we made something great, something that failed, something small, something that works. How that experience shapes us. How it propels us. Maybe it’s because we’re waiting for the right time. For someone to tell it for us. Maybe because we feel there’s nothing to tell. Because we forget. Because we are still busy making. This is why today, I am starting Behind the Ship. The dream is that I get to meet at least some of you. That I help share just a piece of your big story. A glimpse behind what it takes to make, design and ship to the rest of the world. I hope you read these stories when they come out. I hope they make you proud.
I hope that in some way it moves you to start and not to stop. That it inspires you to continue even after you fail. For something that is made today can last for the generations to come.
So make.
