Family & friends
The people who make a place matter, and the life outside the résumé.
The people are the story.
A mountain can be beautiful before you arrive. The people you meet can make it difficult to leave. Looking back through these photographs, the group pictures and small shared moments deserve as much space as the more polished portraits.
The dates below belong to the original entries. Some photographs and recollections reach further back.
Start here.
Who comes with you?
In a June 2025 video, I question the advice that building an online business means cutting off your friends. I do not present myself as someone who has figured success out. I ask why getting money would require leaving the people I love.
The recording appears in both my Instagram and Snapchat archives. It belongs here beside the group photographs: a little more of what I was thinking, beyond the pictures.
The founder story continues on my other website. The people around it are part of this one.
