Circle of Trust

The thing about the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.

Lately, my job has been more demanding than ever. Return-to-office has me commuting to Chicago five days a week, and my out-of-state travel has ramped up significantly. On top of that, a serious reduction in headcount has left many teams overworked and understaffed—yet the company’s demands only continue to grow.

All of this has me rethinking how I prioritize my time. Balancing work and life has never felt more important. I’m at a stage where I need to provide for my family and increase my earnings to match their growing needs, but I also want to be present—to actually live in the moment with them, not just provide for them from a distance.

“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

Great to see my northern brothers at The Silo. I will have to make it up here more often.
