The purpose of role models

Having successful role models can be dangerous. Role models should inspire you. Role models should not make you feel envious or jealous in any way. The power of having role models across different areas of life and business is that they make you realise that you can do it too. Anything! Not to make you feel unworthy or separate from th...

Stains

The moment a stain is created, it begins to react with the fabric, dyes, finishes, and atmosphere. If you clean it right away, it’s generally very easy to address. If you wait, the stain has time to ‘set’ through the reactions mentioned and as a result, becomes substantially more difficult to address. You’re not dropping everything to ...

There and Back Again

Last week was a blast—three fantastic days full of great presentations at the last and final Clash of Realities conference, planned and carried out by program and technical teams from the Cologne Game Lab and the ifs International Film School Cologne, who did the most terrific job. And what a line-up! Even if you’re not fully immersed ...

Stumbling uphill

You can put a magnifying glass on a mistake or setback and interpret it as progress totally lost, but that isn’t always the case. When you’re ready and if you’re open to it, a setback can forge you in a way that serves you in the future. This isn’t to glamorize setbacks, they are often frustrating to say the least and should be avoided...

Busyness

Being busy can often feel useful, but it’s a poor measure of progress. You can be busy and make no progress. You can be busy and make a lot of progress. Same energy requirements yet drastically different outcomes. Anchor yourself with two questions first: what am I actually trying to accomplish? What things — actions, conversations, qu...

Portico Darwin: October 2 and Gratitude

Today's post is different. First and foremost, that is because I leave tomorrow for Boulder to attend a memorial for Scott Edwards, to be held this Sunday, October 2. There will be no post on Monday for that reason. A coincidence, but October 2 has taken on some significance for me in recent years. On October 2, 2019, I left TEECOM. On...

Magic is real, but it's not special

The most unrealistic part of fantasy stories is that there are people in them who think magic is amazing or special. Anyone who has: • graduated from school • taken out a loan • gotten married • had a kid • used a passport has done magic. What did you think you were doing when you imbued your sigil on a piece of parchment with special ...

I Suck.

I can't remember the last time I really beat myself up. It feels like I've received overwhelmingly positive feedback throughout life, so at this point I'm deeply confident and optimistic by nature. If I had to guess the last time I really let myself have it, this was probably in high school and likely chess-related. Losing a game of ch...

Ten journal questions for you today

Journaling changed my life and I recommend it to everyone. If you're not sure how to get started, here are ten questions you could journal on right now. 1. What does my perfect day look like? 2. What are the things I do that I don’t want to? 3. What really matters? 4. What will I regret not doing? 5. Looking back in one year’s time, wh...
