Highlights
Working with a team this year has made me realize just how much being a solopreneur was really about my desire and need for control.
My 6 year old just peppered me with questions about death on the drive to school.
Rather than change the subject, I used it as an opportunity to teach her about impermanence.
Death, as scary as it can be, is an essential feature of life. Kids instinctively feel this.
