A bridge to the other side.

A bridge to the other side.

Dear Visionaries,

You and my heart are in close proximity, especially my next gen visionaries out there. Trust me, I know how you feel and I know where you are.

You're in the secret season, on the wrong side of your vision. You can see it clearly but there’s a body of water between you.

It's deep and it's dark, beneath is the unknown and unknowable.

The waves are crashing and it’s too far to swim. And even if you could, who would follow you? Everyone's not strong enough to swim against the current.

But what if I told you there was platform for your crossing, a bridge to the other side? If your'e deadly serious about this, you'd probably say something like "how do we build it and can we start yesterday?"

I'll tell you step by step but you must know, this is no ordinary bridge. The raw material is substantial but immaterial and if you lose faith, it will vanish beneath your feet.

If your'e not able to walk in faith and maintain constant contact with future conditions, stop here and read no further.

Step 1

Dream during the day and plan at night. Whatever your thinking, think bigger and remember, don’t get stuck in time.

Step 2

Build foundational pillars of belief. They must be dense and heavy so they can sink beneath the water, all the way to the bottom. Dig deep and then dig deeper--this is your resistance to the current.

Step 3

Build superstructures, models, and methodologies, fitted to the foundations, that connect one to another. Don't reinvent the wheel, innovate on what exists.

Step 4

Stress test without consequence. Here's the sequence:

Simulate —> Analyze —> Integrate or Immolate —> Iterate

I'll tell you what immolation is tomorrow, it's the most important part.

Talk soon,

Darren K.
