Putting it in perspective, I've just been for a walk on the beach, it's nighttime here, and I got to look up and there's a few clouds in the sky.

But the moon is a new moon.

So the sky is dark and the stars perfect, profound, fascinating that some of them clearly seem to line up and make images is a...

For me, looking back over the last week, what happened, what worked, what didn't work.

The voices of doubt get stronger towards the end.

So I want to run you through the last three weeks.

Two and a half weeks ago, there was a set of empty blueprints.

Today, there is a complete customer journey.

I'm just at a moment of peace of rest of space, it's a very interesting place to be because the last two and a half weeks have been one of fairly intense work.

At that point, I had a set of fo...

Reflections on failing 75 Hard.

Yep, I have failed 7500.

This happened two nights ago, and I believe was on day 21.

I am no sailor, but it was worth it.

It was definitely worth it.

So today, I got to go scuba diving three times early start, like seriously early stuff.

So I remember looking at my phone at about 425 in the morning, the alarm was set for 525.

And I got out of bed 517...

Alright, first scuba dive.

Well, I just want to document this.

It has been a pretty awesome day to be able to go out and scuba did pool day yesterday, as we covered in yesterday's episode, but today was out on the boat, big swells coming in.

So we made it out.

There's a lot of surfers out at parts o...
