A giant thread of music and dancing from all around. Gonna leave this here and add to it over time.

Any discussion of GMO agriculture in a developing country should start with an acknowledgement of 1) the % of food that is imported, 2) how productivity per hectare of basic crops compares with world leaders, 3) % of kids that are underfed

I met my husband when we were 15 in a summer theatre program. . I wrote him this letter. 25 years later we matched on a dating app. He still had the letter.

As a college student I was confident, had a little swagger even. But this girl made me kinda nervous. First date. Lunch at @Applebees. The ice was stuck at the bottom of the cup so I lifted it to a higher angle and everything spilled all over me. Big mess. Married 26 years.

Wrapping up a 4 week, 5 country business trip. In my trip summary to my colleagues I described 56 notable external meetings. And a lot of mentorship as I brought members of my staff to nearly all of them.

If I ever make big money I won’t make my kid rich, not even after I’m dead. I’ll make sure healthcare is covered and there is always food but that’s about it. I paid for the education, gotta earn your own.

I think the African country with the greatest optimism and progress right now is Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). And Abidjan is amazing with beautiful beaches nearby.

Only 62% of Americans describe themselves as Christians, 20% claim to attend church weekly but research suggests only 5% do so. My theory is it’s not that many Americans have rejected the teachings of Jesus but rather the actions of self-proclaimed Christians. (I’m Christian)

Spent the week in JoBurg #SouthAfrica. Feels like the vibe has shifted from slightly pessimistic to cautiously optimistic. Just a feeling, a sense. No idea if those who live here feel that way.

Everyone should know what % of the world economy their country represents. Adds perspective and explains some things.

Been on the road for 4 weeks. Dozens of meetings w/ senior people at big & important firms. Discussing how our #stablecoin solutions can help them directly or how our they can incorporate our infrastructure through our API suite. What we’ve built is worth a gazillion dollars.

I judged my father too harshly for falling asleep on the couch at 8pm after work

Sunday PM about 25 Knights on Bikes stopped at entrance of Alligator Alcatraz and prayed a rosary for the detainees. Archdiocese is still waiting for approval to access to provide Mass for detainees

You’d be surprised how much American country music I hear traveling around Africa

I have to wear a suit all day tomorrow :(
