I’ve had an odd week. On paper I should be up with Lionel dancing on the ceiling: the accelerator programme I run had its Demo Day in the London Stock Exchange. My three weeks of practising lines for my MC role paid off, the startups performed incredibly and were rewarded with lots of investor follow-up and everyone was happy.
What a beautifully honest and thought-provoking post Adam! It’s inspiring to see you reflect so deeply on your journey and the values that guided you when you left the corporate world. The highs and lows you describe resonate so much – the thrill of achievement followed by the pause that asks, “What’s next?” It sounds like you’re on the verge of an exciting new chapter, and I have no doubt you’ll embrace it with the same courage and energy that’s brought you this far. Here’s to the next four years of variety, autonomy, and pace – and to all the unsettling, exhilarating opportunities ahead!
Ah thanks Laura! Glad they resonate - it's not linear or going where you expect, but I think that's also one of the good things to keep us on our toes and seize opportunities. Did you ever imagine you'd be a trustee of an African charity?!! I'm all for being unsettled!
