Hey!

I got lonely/depressed in 2020 and started a hiking group. It was a cool experiment that failed. I was not able to monetize or scale it. I was bummed for awhile, but upon further reflection I examine the Pareto 80/20 in action. Because I started this group I met some amazing people that love adventure and plan/invite me to their adventures. I also met a very good friend who is focused on business/start up life. So my life has improved a lot even though the outcome was not what I was hoping for.

I'm still on the journey to understand and operate in my zone of genius. Though I think money is important (to the extent that bills are paid and 9-5 can be avoided) I value experiences and creating impact.

Let me know if you'd like to connect.

If this is satire, this is Grade A satire.
A-. It would be grade A if it ended with a crypto story.

I'm not trying to use satire. My attempts at building community in a busy and fragmented world. :)

It's very concerning to others and myself why you think attempting to "monetize or scale" a hiking group is normal.
