Will says goodbye to Obélix and I


It was wonderful to have Will along for the first few days of Startical 2.0 given all the adventure time we shared together during Startical 1.0, and now it was time for him to continue his travels.

As he was departing, I thanked Will for his visit as it provided a rare occasion for me to discuss wellness and philosophy and share experiences (especially culinary) in depth for more than just a fleeting moment.  I realise that most of my time is spent with my startup colleagues or working in isolation.  In my twenties, it was relatively easy and common to spend a week with friends-outside-of-work, but as we've all grown older (and more responsible?) it seems increasingly rare to do this.  It's easy to find an excuse when you have a career and/or kids.

This reinforces for me the importance of making time for visits like these, or adventures like the one I shared last year with Will: Montreal to Chicago by rail via Vancouver and Seattle. (PhotosThe Canadian | The Empire Builder).  I look forward to the next one, and will definitely put in the effort to make it happen!

Reminiscing about last year's epic rail journey

Last year today I embarked on an epic rail journey from Montreal to Chicago via Vancouver and Seattle.  This time of the year is pretty much the only time I can completely escape startup life (and Internet connectivity), and a year ago I seized the opportunity to do something I'd been dreaming of since childhood: take "The Canadian" across Canada. Sat down with a beer and watched my videos from that trip (see playlists below) which brought back very fond memories not only of the trip itself, but also of Startical 1.0 which involved a similarly ridiculous Montreal to San Francisco rail journey. The playlists: "The Canadian" - Toronto to Vancouver by rail "The Empire Builder" - Seattle to Chicago by rail Also reminds me of my  Rails and Reels: History, Infrastructure and the IoT blog post from 2013, just after we had become "World's Best Startup".  Somehow rail journeys bring out the philosopher in me...

Evolutionary Purpose

Will and I discussed finding the balance of progress and purpose in organisations (startups and otherwise) which reminded me of the book Reinventing Organizations by Frédéric Laloux which was recommended to me by one of my mentors.  We found the clip above on YouTube (if you're not familiar with Laloux, it's a nice short summary of his work) and one element stood out for me: what he called Evolutionary Purpose . How I understand this concept is that the purpose (or soul) of an organisation evolves over time, rather than an individual or leadership team directing towards a specific outcome.  It's very much in line with the sailboat analogy and the lunch discussion I had with the team. It is very reassuring to me that the people closest to me today all affirmed my feelings on leadership, and interesting that it often took very different paths/context for us to be able to truly connect on the subject.
