No Women. No Cry.




I'm in an endless love affair with myself!

It's a trustworthy, reliable, fun and experiences filled healthy relationship. On the eve of National Women's Day in SA I'm okay to say this. Actually I always am. This evening I sorted my space a bit, turned to some easy listening found in Buena Vista Social Club and Fatoumata Diawara. I've decided to enjoy the soft breeze at the top of the building with windows and doors wide open ..with my laptop where it mostly is - right in front of me.

I don't smoke but can't help feeling that I would want to smoke like only a french women does. It's just that vibe currently. Instead I've opted for and made myself a good, Italian Blend coffee.  I am feeling that while my life is far from perfect, it is perfectly beautiful. I have some of the best thoughts and quality thought processes knowing this. Both for my business and for my personal life. I feel it's important to emphasize the reality of things since I meet many people whose compliments I cherish but whose perception I also need to adjust.

To be honest, there's nothing more I steer clear of than drawing attention. Recently I had a lunch with an amazing Canadian Business leader and believe that she was surprised by my in person disposition.  Twitter you liar you ( nothing personal Jack!)

I can safely say that while I live alone, I am far from lonely and often wish that my aspirations would just leave me alone sometimes. I'm business astute but will never think that I arrived. I just know myself well enough to say this. It's that elusive business horizon thing I have going on and for a while now. I am curious, restless and troublesome  ( sorry -again- mom!)

I do feel I am searching but am not lost and have never felt more conscious and anchored. I do drive myself crazy from time to time ( head colliding into my palms - I'm sorry mom!) ..but I also have a great sense of peace. I'm not short of too many important things and I am rich in urgency for Impact ( The Collab Movement launches in August https://tcmovement.org/).

All in all, I have a blessed life. Not perfect and never going to be,  but a very good one indeed. I get to choose and that's a wonderful space to be in - currently.

I'm also happy to leave no rock, mountain, mustard seed unturned for possibilities in business, love and for what I see for my life in general. On the eve of women's day, where I feel I could want to be like a beautiful french women with a cigarette gently between my "beautiful fingers", I sip on my coffee instead, steering clear of any nicotine and with respect for my health. I encourage women who smoke, to stop ( especially you loved ones!).

My parting thoughts -

- Women, be in great relationship with yourself.
- To hurt a women is to hurt your Creator. She gives life as does the Creator.
- Thanks mom for being patient, beautiful and a brilliant you.


Happy Women's Day.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
