Elon Musk is my homeboy. This guy inspires me everyday by showing up and taking on puzzles and challenges that people simply say can't be done. And then he does them.
Soon he wants to launch his first satellite so the entire world can have access to the internet. Think about this - connected to high speed internet literally EVERYWHERE. Amazing.
A couple weeks ago he launched his Tesla roadster into space with a mannequin astronaut behind the wheel as a test for his mission to put humans on Mars. Cheeky and incredible. His launch felt like a major sporting event. You think he's having fun?
This is the stuff. This is long term, world changing, exponential business, global contribution, and long term legacy work at the highest level.
This is the kind of koolaid that I'm drinking.
I'll have another couple of posts soon about where I feel the world is heading and some of its greatest visionaries I feel we should all follow and take inspiration from, but for today, just to humble us up and giving us something to think about heading into the weekend.

Many of you here might not yet know much about who I am, some of my life experiences, and why I may have anything of value to add to the conversation around the topics I'm exploring. Learn more about me in this post as I share who I am, and some of the wild ride I've been on thus far...
Being in the markets and working with entrepreneurs, of course the conversation often centers around money. In this post I share some of my philosophy and relationship with money, including different ways that in my experience, you may be able to earn more of it.
Improving our mental health can have profound and lasting impacts on our lives, the lives of those around us, and our communities. In Canada, it is estimated that 20% of Canadians experience problems with their mental health in any given year, and half of the population has faced some level of mental health issues by the time they turn 40. In this post I share tips and strategies that I've used over the years to improve my own mental health, which I feel may help you on your journey as well.
