A Big Change

I’m listening to the sound of the crickets at night as I write this. It’s 3:15 AM here in Wisconsin. I’m inside my new Airstream Interstate 24GT as I begin my journey of rediscovering America along with a bit of myself. Who knows where I’ll be next week.

I’ve not posted a whole lot about what I’m doing or even why. I put up a page (WITFIT) to let my closest friends know where I am and some of the daily details, but I’m not sharing that with the world. As much as I love to write, I don’t want to explain everything I do, so I keep my private life private. Quora exposes me more than I’d like as it is, but that’s the conundrum. On one hand, I want to share what I know, yet I also want to maintain a sense of self journey in the process.

This was no sudden idea. There was no single event that triggered this, and I’ve been thinking about this journey for about the last three or four years. I don’t know where all of this will take me, and that’s kind of the point.

I have two loves. One is building great companies, and the other is writing. I also wanted to write about some of what I discover out there and so this will be a little of both. Business will be posted on Middlerock as usual. Other stuff will remain here.

Today I came across a business that I think has a promising future. It’s run by a friend of my families, but I was so impressed by the product, that I’m thinking I should try and get more involved. I don’t want to do another startup, but this is a good one. It’s just a high quality product in a very crowded category. But, so is wine. I need to think about it a bit more.

My head is spinning with ideas.
