A Year Later: Still Messy, Still Real

“Stop apologizing. No one cares about your mess. Life is messy.”

It was a little less than a year ago as I was sitting on a zoom call with @AustinLinney holding my new born son

I started the call by apologizing if he got a little cranky. He was suppose to be down for a nap but that wasn’t happening.

What Austin said has stuck with me from that moment on.

And the more I’ve processed it, the more truth it holds. In fact it’s not just true, but it’s actually a superpower.

Your mess, your transparency, the fact that you are HUMAN and real… is what makes you, YOU.

It’s your super power

In a time when more and more is being AI generated and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference,

Your “mess” is what makes you authentic.

Today, my son is a little over a year old and is a regular on these calls.

It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s real.

Find what makes you real and lean into it.
