@gothburz Shocking albeit not surprising read. If it’s ever on the table, I’ll buy one of those MB pens off you.

Over the years, I've mastered endurance. My work now is surrender. It seems that what once helped me survive is now what I need to unlearn.

Endurance got me here. But surrender is what will take me further.

If you’ve ever confused survival with momentum, this might speak to you.

Fear isn’t the enemy.
It’s the compass.

In Mongolia I was suddenly promoted.
My new title?
Yak Commander.

Here’s what happened → https://t.co/dVOEz2bl0B

I boarded a train to Mongolia.
Got off as a rock star. 🎸

One minute I’m helping strangers with their luggage…
The next, I’m walking through a screaming crowd because my “strangers” were Mongolia’s most famous band.

No guitar skills.
Best commute ever.

Climbed Everest ✅ was still clueless on what to do next 🤷🏽‍♂️

My third Substack “Lost, Found, and Lost Again?” Is a light reflection into the mess of uncertainty.

Finally, after months of hesitation, I’ve started a Substack. If you’re on the platform, I’d love for you to subscribe. If not, you can still read my first post here.

The intention is to create a space for raw, honest reflections on life, grief, growth, and the things we often carry in silence.

My film Beyond the Raging Sea launches today in NYC cinemas (26/04 - 02/05) and in LA (May 3 to 9). If anyone is in town, I'd love if you came out to watch it. I'll be there for the first 3 days of each US city for a Q&A after the movie.

The film recounts my adventure attempting to row across the Atlantic Ocean in 2017. 9 days into the expedition our boat capsized in a storm with 24 foot waves and then the life raft didn't open. The following 13 hours of survival were harrowing at best.

The build up to the Herero-Nama genocide in Namibia, perpetrated by Germany started on 12 January 1904. The absurdity of Germany, on 12 January 2024, rejecting genocide charges against Israel and warning about the “political instrumentalisation of the charge” is not lost on us.

@SphereDeFi one simple question. Portfolios are down 90% or so for early Spherians. Is there someone I can have a 1-on-1 chat with on the team? need to get a handle on prospects

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Dear @POTUS, I hope by now this letter has made it to your desk. It is soundly and thoughtfully written. There is a growing credibility gap between this administration’s stated core values vs actions, having a depressive effect on organizing and support around the upcoming election. It is the hope of so many here and around the world that you reconsider your unwavering military assistance for what is no longer a war, but an illegal and atrocious action exacted on innocent people. It is corrosive for any chance of lasting peace in the region. Your administration is filled with the best of the best. These resignations should give you pause. You are right. Democracy is indeed at stake.
