I have been relatively quiet for a few weeks. Those of you who follow this space closely probably noticed. Some of you reached out. I appreciate that more than you know.

The truth is, I hit a wall, a big one at that. It wasn’t a crisis, just the particular kind of depletion that comes from spending months fighting battles in rooms where the outcome was never really up to you.
