I've been pretty busy this week, not to mention being in a 6.3 earthquake on Thursday so I'll let this be really short to assure you I'll be sending a full newsletter out in the next week or so when I've stopped travelling and settled back home.

Andrew

It was as if I’d whispered an incantation and the world moved on its own. That’s still why I do this. Automation isn’t just efficiency. It’s techno-magic—real-world spells you design...

Hey there, I want to make progress but I feel like I'm getting in my own way a lot, the following is going to seem like a lot of procrastinating and in a way it is. I think the difference this time is that I'm sharing it all and I can see the value longer term and that's what I'm thinking of now, things that will sustain and help me longer term, especially with income and security.
