### On the kind of trip where the vibes > the plan

The last two or three years have been a wild ride. Both on a personal and global scale, I’m reminded that “the best laid plans” are often smashed to bits by the multivalent nature of our reality.

In 2019 I thought I knew, more or less, what my career path might be. Now, the burgeoning Web3 space has blown open the doors of possibility I feel myself wanting to take a step back and rethink it all. I’ve been a crypto advocate since 2017, but now I’m feeling more curiosity than conviction; more in the mood for exploration than execution.

The truth is Web2 has been fairly lucrative for me so leaping out into the amorphous Web3 space is a significant risk. I’ve always been big on setting intentions for where I want to go. This time it feels a bit like having roadmap to navigate the ocean. Both thrilling and terrifying.

Ultimately, I know that following the call of my heart will lead me to where I want to go. Right now that means collecting art and building community. The two pieces linked here for from my NFT art collection.
