| I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… ​ And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. ​ ​ The problem starts when you begin asking questions: ​ Well… ​ When you start asking those kinds of questions, you begin to see the world differently.

Let me talk for a second about a unicorn moment. Year 2014. Riyadh, Saudi...
It was supposed to be India’s big PPP success story.A shiny new metro for Hyderabad.60 km of elevated track.Glossy renders.Big press. Then… disaster. The first consortium collapsed in slow motion. Delays.Land issues.Political fights.The kind of chaos that turns engineers into philosophers. Equity providers in beheaded chickens. And lenders in beggars. The project was drowning in paperwork and blame. Everyone pointing fingers.Nobody holding the wheel. Until someone said the magic words: “A...
Being bank holiday in New Zealand today, I just have the luxury of my kid’s siesta to keep going. So let’s be brief. Just a reflexion.
