jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...
jer979Value. Happiness.
I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

One area where I am working on self-improvement is in providing clarity of mission and clarity of role to the members of the team.
If I’m being honest, it’s not something that comes naturally to me.
Usually, the vision is very clear, as are some of the steps to achieving it.
But, I don’t always enjoy getting into the fine details. I know, it’s a weakness and, since my word of the decade is “patience,” it’s something on which I am focused.
I am realizing that the most important things in life simply take time.
Good health. It’s a habit.
A good marriage. It’s a long-term thing.
A successful Layer 1 smart contract platform that forms the financial infrastructure for the next era of human evolution. Won’t happen overnight.
To achieve these things, it’s pretty critical to outline what the mission is and what success looks like.
Then, it’s important to be abundantly clear about what each person needs to do in order to help make the mission is a success.
This takes time and….patience.
