After the buddha reference I'm doubly prompted to suggest the meditation retreat as an experience that would provide a useful perspective. The universe is its own company, and getting yourself assigned to the self-awareness project makes you indispensable.
…a pleasure to read more of your story and goals…made me think of the idea that to be remembered tomorrow you must first be remembered today…i wonder if embracing your buddha past/path can shed more light along the way…. there is a reason their story is retold today while many peer’s are not…i know not why that is but imagine the more you meet that inquiry the more you might tether to a similar trajectory…i sometimes get asked “don’t i know you from somewhere” and when alert enough i generally answer “yeah, of course, here.”…
No way! I got that same comment today: “Don’t I know you from somewhere?” Instead of saying “No, you are mistaken”, I said “Yeah…” and let that sit…
Love that idea on “to be remember tomorrow you just first be remembered today”:
One of the biggest lessons I learned in 2025 is the importance of “off-camera leadership”. Meaning: who you are when nobody is looking should match who you are when people are.. I remind myself of that many times a day…
You’ve written a lot about fashion, but I’m still unclear: what is it about fashion that you love?
From environmentalist and labor points of view fashion is an utter disaster. Have you seen pictures of Ghana’s beaches? (Please look up the OR Foundation if you don’t know what I’m talking about.) Personally, I would be psyched to discover that the fortune you make in fashion-media came from creating an entirely eco-nourishing, human protecting fashion infrastructure.

Good points, Ed. I would never want to do something that would endanger the environment or rob us of the world that could be.
The part about fashion that I love is if you google “Stranger things shopping scene”
Thank you for your comment 🙏
