Back in Berlin: Preparing my upcoming talk for Forward Festival on August 30 and wrote a long response on Failure and Dealing with Setbacks in our Present Community. I love that we have those kind of honest exchanges there.

My sister is currently renting a small datscha at a lake outside of the city and we relaxed there for a bit. Spumante for apéro with some friends and dinner with my uncle Andreas who’s visiting from Cologne.

I soft-launched a new version of the Present Website! I built it on a completely new framework and everything should be much faster and nicer to use. I still love making websites so much. Some areas are still in progress and there will be many more features added still. Big plans for it!

This Week’s Wisdom from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”
